Friendly staff, nice locker room, lovely teachers. A really nice, relaxing experience. The classes are a really welcoming environment where it feels normal to modify or try a few different tricks.

I have taken over 500 classes with CorePower and many different instructors, which includes Tressa. Tressa is one of the few, very experienced instructors who does a fantastic job and still offers adjustments. I have always found Tressa to be kind, helpful, and supportive as an instructor. For anyone who wants to take a great, and challenging class, I’d highly recommend one of Tressa’s classes, she is a wonderful instructor!

I've been a student at CPY for more than 10 years. It's a great studio and Tressa is one of my favorite teachers. She's a deeply knowledgeable and experienced yoga teacher and brings care and creativity to her flows and cues. I've taken close to 100 of her classes over the years, and they are dependably excellent. There's a negative review of her here that I completely disagree with, as the student who left it was unhappy when she gave him the feedback that he had been distracting to the other students in her class. It's not a fair rating of her teaching, and I think it shows her commitment to honoring students' expectations of the studio experience and norms.

I love the brand and studio experience overall and rate them 5 stars.However, I have to share a 1 star instructor review out of concern that others may have the experience I did. In yoga classes, not just those at Corepower, but other brands, we are often encouraged to “take what we need”, to “listen to our bodies”, and to prudent modifications where necessary since, after all, it is "our practice" (as paying customers).Towards this end, I had a rather intriguing experience at a recent 2pm C2 class taught by Tressa. Immediately after final poses and relaxation, during which time I added additional movements that I seemed to need (something I did at different times during class as well) I was first out of the studio door for my usual shower. Waiting for me was Tressa.On the couch immediately opposite the door was Tressa, staring rather intently. She made a bee-line for me to inform me that I am “really distracting” and that there is a difference between “taking what I need” and doing my "own thing". This distinction was never explained to me.What also didn’t happen was an initial inquiry about how class was, how everything felt, the reasoning for my modifications, or, to be honest, any attempts at what might resemble curiosity to build rapport with a human. She seemed intent on chastising me, perhaps like a school child who was throwing crayons during class.At the end of this encounter I asked, for my own clarity’s sake, “So, I should move less?”, to which she responded "Yes".Having not been made more clear on what the boundaries for modifications are, whether it was a personal policy of hers, a studio policy, or a company policy, I was confused as to how a person is supposed to make it through a class.Not every class and routine will be perfectly tailored to every single person in the room at the pace offered by the instructor in an objectively uniform way. Surely this is common knowledge. At another studio in Denver, I often lag behind because the instructor does these long slow flows with no rest that are awesome but hard.I’ve attended yoga classes for the last sixteen years across many states, mostly California and New York, and have taken classes as various Denver Metro and Northern Colorado Corepower studios in the recent years. I’ve been in classes where people literally lie on the floor and rest or sleep, classes where one or more people do handstand drills and inversion practice the whole time, and one class where a person was even breakdancing in between poses. I though it was funny but he was pretty good.Surely some people this distracting but it does beg a question;Are these individuals universally and objectively distracting, or is it possible that a person can choose or allow themselves to be distracted by the external environment?For yoga to carry over into daily life, it seems that it cannot realistically occur in a perfect, choreographed class treated as a teacher's personal fiefdom.Speaking for myself, I am a male, which biases me toward stiffness. I have particular conditioning goals and a rather extensive injury history so I aim to modify routines to make sure that my $160 monthly membership fee is put to the highest and best use with every class I attend.It'd be all too easy to take from this that neither I nor my practice is welcome or to be included. If this is what lies in wait for class participants who make modifications in Tressa's classes, I cannot in good faith recommend a class with her.It appears that should you fall out of sync with others in the class you run the risk of having your own angry principle moment. Simply put, I’d hate for another person to finish class having hopefully achieved a more relaxed and empowered state only to be hounded upon leaving.As someone who has spent the better part of almost 16 years in fitness environments, I am hard pressed to not question the credentials of instructors that issue directives against doing what is biomechanically beneficial and/or deemed needed by the person themselves.

I've been practicing yoga at CorePower Yoga in Fort Collins since January 2020, attending approximately 300 classes spanning various styles, from Yin and Myofascial Release to C2 and C3.I am a 200-hour Vinyasa YTT graduate from a Forrest Yoga Guardian Teacher through Yoga Pod Denver West (now called ALIGN Yoga). I have consistently practiced daily for the past 7 years.I have grown to appreciate and trust both the studio and its instructors. Over the past 2.5+ years, I have made genuine connections with several teachers, including Tressa B., Cassandra H., Andissyn, Sarah Sc., Shelby, Katie Kr., Cheyenne B., and many more.Tressa B. possesses a truly dynamic, empowering, and creative teaching style that has deeply resonated with me from the first class. With 16 years of experience at CPY, a 200-hour Hot YTT, a 200-hour Power YTT, 100-hour Anusara YTT, it is clear that Tressa possesses a profound understanding of the 8 limbs of yoga. Additionally, Tressa is not just a yoga teacher; she's also a certified massage therapist. This diverse skill set, paired with her credentials, extensive experience, and continuous desire for learning, makes her a true “teacher’s teacher.”One thing that stands out about Tressa is her unwavering respect for her students. She values their individual journeys and encourages them to practice in a way that feels right for their unique needs.I went back through my history on CPY and discovered that I have taken nearly 50 of *just* Tressa's classes. As a student who has spent countless hours being guided and cued by Tressa, I’ve consistently found her classes to excel, emphasizing the essential connection between breath and movement.Moreover, following a car accident I was in in 2020, I had to modify my yoga practice to accommodate my injuries, which included chronic Sciatica. When I was experiencing my chronic symptoms of pain, I would inform teachers about it before class. Tressa, in particular, always cues and encourages modifications to make your practice what you need. She would also give me recommendations 1:1 to help alleviate my pain.I’ve overheard other students chatting and expressing their admiration for certain teachers multiple times. Just last week, I overheard a couple of women (one was nervous for class because it was her first time) chatting about Tressa and how she is her favorite teacher of all time. The other woman kindly reassured the "newbie" that Tressa teaches a phenomenal class and encourages what feels right.That being said, I would not be a member and student of CPY if Tressa B. was not an instructor there. She welcomed me. She empowered me. Most of all, I am a better person for having known her and her extensive yogic knowledge.With light + love always—namaste. ॐ

I was traveling to visit family and me and my daughter came here to take a yoga class. The membership is a little pricey but I noticed they have two studio rooms and a variety of class times to choose from vs other places In the area. If there was a CorePower in my area I would consider getting a membership as I just learned you can go to all of them in the nation, but unfortunately there isn’t one in MI so I was happy they at least have drop in’s when I come to visit. Over all cute space, friendly staff, and loved the instructor I had she was very enthusiastic and welcoming.

Corepower has a energetic atmosphere, that with the great teachers makes for a good burning sculpt class, and a deep releasing hot flow. It was a great experience I would recommend to anyone. Thanks CPY

I absolutely love CPY and the variety of classes they have to offer. The staff here were super friendly, I talked to the manager she was nice, she let me know that they’re adding more C1’s & HPFs to the schedule. Which is great cause I love those formats. Definitely recommend trying it out!

I was here visiting, I love that you can travel and there is almost always a CPY. This one was very cute and quaint, the staff was super friendly. You do have to wear a mask but they also provide them for you if you forget like me ? I love that they had a 10:30am yoga sculpt, it was not bad practing in a mask, I'm just happy they are open.

Of all the CPY studios I'd have to say this one is my least favorite. I've been to @ 10 around Denver to Colorado Springs since 2014 and many other studios around states to compare. This one has dirty floors, they had issues with stolen items in the locker rooms, and their staff doesnt seem very experienced compared to other places I've been. Also they changed their policy to vaccinated only and splitting up community in an already divided world. Don't reccomend.
