CorePower Yoga - Studio City — Local services in Los Angeles

I am a yoga lover and dedicated to the practice. I do love core power yoga in general. I think they have found a way to really bridge the craving that californian's have for excercise and still infuse some of the basic yoga principles. BUT - there are some teachers at core power yoga that are "wanna" be yogis. I realize they encourage EVERYBODY to take teacher training courses there - but i am hoping that core power yoga encourage more yoga philosophies and principles in their teachers. I was very very offended by a teacher there whose choice of music was just too loud. I realize some teachers are in the mood to play loud pop, rap or hip hop music - but if the music is too loud and an individual can't hear their own breathe then it is not yoga - not once did this teacher TELL THE CLASS TO FOCUS ON THE BREATH. Part of yoga is group vibration and meditation and a collective conciousnesss through the breath. I think some people in California just need a job and go for becomiing a yoga teacher. My advice to the CORE POWER YOGA COMPANY is to remember that it is yoga you are teaching - it is not a gym......I AM NOT LOOKING TO GO TO CORE POWER YOGA to get the feeling of a gym. I was very offended by my teacher who looked at me as if I didn't know what i was talking about - she actually suggested i wear earplugs to my class. In my opinion that teacher should be dismissed by CORE POWER YOGA. SHE IS OBVIOUSLY not a true yogi. In terms of music selection - there is all kinds of evidence that there are certain tones in music that trigger deeper meditation and help with certain glands - specifically the third eye. I am not saying every teacher at core power yoga should always play that type of music - but i think with the teachers training course there must be more emphasis on THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT KIND OF MUSIC TO PLAY in the yoga class. I personally dont' like music when i do yoga - but if a teacher is going to play it please pick the...

I’ve been attending the 3 Valley location yoga studios for over 3 years and truly appreciate the instructors, community, and overall vibe. One of the main reasons I initially joined was the flexibility and variety in the class schedule. However, I’ve noticed a consistent gap in the mid-day schedule—most classes end around noon and don’t pick up again until after 3pm.

It would be incredibly helpful to add more mid-day classes, specifically around 1:00pm, 1:30pm, or at least one 2:00pm class. This time frame would be ideal for those of us with flexible schedules or who work non-traditional hours. All three Valley locations seem to have this same gap, so adding even one or two classes during that window could really make a difference.

Thank you for taking the time to consider...

Took an incredible sculpt class here one evening. One star off because of parking primarily. My class was after dark, and I parked underground in the structure that felt very empty (and thus unsafe to me). It was all fine but still had to pay $1.50 after parking was validated, and the card reader didn’t work for me on 2 separate cards, the “help” button on the gate went to voicemail, so I felt very stuck for 15-20min trying to leave the parking structure. But some act of God the reader finally worked and I could go home. I would come back to this studio, but probably just do street parking to avoid this situation again. Posting so other people are aware! Also it would be nice to have free towel service as CorePower in other...
