CorePower Yoga - NoHo — Local services in New York

Ok for what it is, I'm sure it's great. But it's very strange that nowhere on their main website page does it say this is hot yoga?!?! That should be made very clear at the top of the page. So I get there for an 8:30am class with Kirsten (I think that was her name) without eating anything or drinking much water beforehand, two things that are necessary for a comfortable seamless class. I was miserable, literally dying and felt like I was going to faint... All could have been avoided if they simply made it clear this is hot yoga. Unbelievable honestly.

Then during class, the teacher had the music so loud, that I could barely hear her. Super annoying. I even told her, and did she do anything about it? No, left the music the same. If she raised her voice , I could barely tell. Teachers should know that as yogis we should always be practicing listening to the movements and gaining the skill of being able to take a class without having to constantly look at the instructor. Also how am I going to look at her when I am upside down and in awkward positions?!?! If they are going to blast the music then they should have teachers wear a mic or something. And why would the teacher be ok with me not being able to hear? Not sure why she didn't want to help me hear her. I ended up having to leave a little more than halfway through bc I felt weak and sick, and my clothes were drenched making me uncomfortable, another thing I would have done differently if I knew it was hot yoga.

Please clarify that it is hot yoga on the home page of...

Really rude and unhelpful associates. After charging me for someone else’s purchase, no associate would help refund it to my credit card as they don’t know how. They had me return to the desk after class where they said they’d have a manager process the refund as only they know how. I had to sit and wait for her for 25 minutes. The associates didn’t bother to go and find her and only gave me attitude when I asked where she was and that calling the help center is not a suitable alternative, as we are always put on hold for hours. Likely because Corepower associates and software overcharge it’s clientele like crazy. I shared these concerns with an associate at the front desk and she responded with “okay”. I’m not sure you guys realize how bad your software is to be so far from...

The teachers really vary at this location. Several times after paying for $40 drop in I have teachers who barely understand how to do yoga can barely remember the sequence that they’re supposed to be doing laugh and make awkward jokes about how they keep messing up is really distracting. It’s sort of appalling that there’s no feedback or actual training that they have it seems like. It’s also so hard to take a 22-year-old seriously after practicing over for 20 years. I recognized that it’s a learning experience for them, but why isn’t there any feedback from mentor teachers if you’re going to charge that much for a class. The over cue-ing is so distracting perhaps learn how to be human if you are going to teach. It’s condescending and distracting to have non...
