Last October I climbed a 21.000 feet volcano in Ecuador (the closest place on earth to the sun) it was a very intense vertical climb. Climbing taught me to seek the highest endeavors, embrace uncertainty, fully commit, tolerate adverse situations, and seek great companionship… these are all lessons that I now see in terms of a larger life perspective. Climbing allowed me to push beyond my preconceived notions of what is possible, and to do so in a contained, very focused way. I was able to connect the internal experience with the external, and to see connections between physical, mental and emotional movement patterns. There’s a mental awareness and clarity of experience there that you rarely encounter in daily life. It was a magical, spiritual healing journey & part of that journey I credit to CPY. In CPY environment I`m able not just to be myself, but to find, discover, evaluate, absorb or discard aspects of myself. Every class is like a fitness journey to self-discovery – through hard core workouts, focus on breath, body awareness and alignment, knowledge and learning, reflection and testing out ideas, absorbing and integrating what resonated with my beliefs and prior knowledge. I learned to listen to my body and to honor its wisdom. This experience opened up my curiosity and awareness of the connection and alignment between body, mind and soul. I feel so blessed to have the privilege of learning what I’ve learned in these few years.

The Core Power Yoga app is intuitive and user-friendly, making it incredibly easy to plan my week. I love how it syncs directly to my calendar, allowing me to effortlessly integrate my practice into my routine.
A special mention goes to instructors Molly G. and Emma— their 6:30 AM C2 classes are the absolute best way to start the day. Their sessions are a perfect blend of gentle guidance and challenging sequences, with thoughtful vinyasas that skillfully open and close your muscles in a wonderful flow. These classes are everything you'd want from a morning practice.

Read moreLooking for a great work out with no judgement and no pressure? you came to the right place. As a plus sized person, it can be hard to go to the gym and not feel judged. From the start, Corepower has always made me feel empowered in what I can do. They don't make you push yourself but trust you know your limits for your body. Many teachers offer alternatives for their yogis to make the position harder, get more of a stretch, or easier on their bodies. This offers a guided class but some varieties so all feel welcome. They offer a wide variety of classes including yoga sculpt which includes cardio and weights! They have been so great with COVID and cleaning their spaces well. They have great deals all the time for clothing and merch. I take part in their SET program. I am able to clean the studio once a week in exchange for a free membership! great deal and not a big commitment for me! Corepower yoga...
