I’ve been a member at CorePower for four months now, and I absolutely love the atmosphere and the instructors here! Sometimes the classes can get pretty full, but everyone is super friendly. I especially enjoy Kerstin’s C2 class, which really helps me relax both physically and mentally! btw：Freezing or canceling the membership (with a month’s notice) is also super easy to do online, and the staff responds very quickly!

I’ve been a member here for about a month, and so far I’ve had nothing but positive experiences. The class offerings are frequent and expansive, and I really appreciate that they have classes later in the evenings since I work til 6pm. All of the instructors I’ve had are wonderful, kind, and knowledgeable. The location is clean and there are showers, lockers, and 3 different studios of varying sizes. Classes have ranged from just a few in attendance to very full, but I’ve always felt comfortable and had space to move and breathe. There’s ample parking either in the lot or just around the corner by 4th St. I’ve yet to have an issue with parking, which is always impressive in Berkeley. Overall, it’s been a really fun experience and I anticipate continuing with my practice here for a long time!

I wanted to get to doing yoga. When I signed up for a week free the only location I could really go to was the West Berkeley location. Every time I showed up for the class “early” the doors are locked but I see people items in the cubby holes so I knew they were there. Also my classes were getting canceled without my knowledge. There is no sign on the door letting us know why we are not able to access this location. Im very disappointed.

Did an intro month at CorePower Shattuck and mostly went to Yoga Sculpt, but also did Yoga 1 and Yoga Fusion. Yoga Sculpt which is a blend of yoga and crossfit/hit workout. Its fun, tough and I really enjoyed the classes. Teachers were great and led the classes well. Only drawback is that the studio on Shattuck Ave is near campus and there are a lot of students who don't understand yoga etiquette. I come 30 minutes early to class to stretch, do my personal yoga and pranayama, and found that many of the students mindlessly entered the class speaking loudly and making a lot of noise. It's standard for yoga studios to be quiet places for students to prepare for class. CorePower in particular has their yoga etiquette posted all around the studio reminding student to "to minimize talking in the studio", so I thought that students would respect this standard practice.But this often did not happen and I asked several teachers to remind students of this etiquette, some succeeded others did not. My last class, I decided to ask two men who were having a very loud conversation to please respect the yoga etiquette of the studio and they mouthed off to me. Comments like "what are you the etiquette police?", "Ok mom", etc and their female friend coming back at me with "why are you singling THEM out?". You would expect in a yoga room that students would be mindful and kind. Instead say something like "Oh, I'm sorry", "No worries", "My apologies". But instead I got dismissed, belittled and insulted.I went to ask the teacher to please remind the students to be quiet in the studio and specifically told her two men mouthed off to me. She apologized and said she would address it, but completely forgot and I spent the whole class staring straight ahead, trying to ignore the men, as one of them kept looking back at me and made a point to direct his kicks and punches towards me. Fortunately, my husband was there with me and I felt safe, but It wasn't nice for either one of us.I tried to speak with the men after class and they dismissed me, calling me names under their breath and walking off, just as they had done in the studio. I spoke with the instructor, as well, in hopes that she would remember to address it next time and create more safety in the studio for everyone. She agreed she would and understood the importance of my request.I'm giving the studio 2-stars, because I hope that the teachers and their leadership will pay more attention to this important part of teaching yoga and creating safe spaces for students.

I feel good about my body with every class I am taking, I like challenges, and I am working forward to learn the skills I have been dreaming of my whole life - handstands, splits, backbends, fluid movement and other cool stuff that CorePower Yoga offers.

I used to love to come here. Pre pandemic this place was my decompression go to. I could always count on coming here getting into the flow and relieving my stress after a long day. 9/10 I’d fall asleep on the floor when it came to shavasana. I have insomnia, so that really said a lot. I was excited to go back to the studio. But now, I can’t hear the instructors through the masks. It’s especially bad in studio 1, with the noise from the road, the heater, the music, and the instructor’s voice projecting from the studio next door, can’t hear anything from our instructor… there’s no way I could get into the flow… it really defeats the purpose of yoga…The maintenance of the locker room is subpar too. It is not as clean as it used to be and a lot of the lockers are broken, cabinet doors are falling off. it’s disappointing and sad…

I'd never recommend them due to their inability to decifer people from lab rats.

I absolutely love Corepower Yoga!! I'm so glad they have followed all the Heath guidelines abs decided to open. I originally found them through a friend who got me a free pass. I have done yoga before but the results I see from their routine and the non-judgmental, helpful and holistic vibe from all the instructors and their knowledge is so wonderful! I had many lower back issues after child birth and I'm so GREATFUL that Corepower yoga is the reason, I am able to improve this pain.
