CorePower Yoga - Grand Lake — Attraction in Oakland

I love yoga. And I was really excited to learn that there was a Free Week at a studio not too far from my house. Believe me when I tell you — it was an experience I will never forget. The people at this studio train like it’s the end of the world.

Asking for recommendations for classes, they directed me to a unique format called Yoga Sculpt. I was perplexed when they recommended I bring the following: sturdy mat, towel, a bottle of water, 3-days of food rations, steel toe boots and at least 3 years of martial arts experience.

When I entered the room they had emulated the Vietnam Jungle with 95 degrees, 40 percent humidity and a local improv group acting as “the aggressors” in the corner.

When the class started, the instructor came in clad in patriotic leggings, and a headband that read “Only the Strongest Survive.”

In class we did everything. Warrior 1. Warrior 2. Planks. Squats. Target range practice. Treaty writing. Topography.
