CorePower Yoga - Portland Southeast — Local services in Portland

I LOVED being a member of CorePower Yoga Southeast. I began hot yoga in November '24 then began amping up and attending the intensive Yoga Sculpt class Mon-Fri at 10:30. Each instructor has their own flow and approach, but the class itself has a regular (or semi-regular) set of ways to use body weight, actual weights, cardio and balance to really make a difference. I personally want to shout out Chenoa and Sandra, who made me feel especially welcome in my regular classes.

I injured my metatarsal perhaps due to ramping myself up too quickly prior to a month long trip overseas, so I've stopped attending in person. That said, I'm availing myself to the online repertoire available to me like restorative yoga. I really miss the camaraderie of the instructors and other regular class attendees. Hopefully in a few months I can return!! In fact, my only compliant is being utterly unable to communicate directly with the staff at the studio. I wanted to let the instructors know it wasn't them, but I'd injured myself when I suddenly stopped attending, and being able to communicate with the studio would be a perk.

I can't say enough about this studio, the warmth and support of the instructors and the ease to get there (I'm on the bus). I miss you all and really hope to get back later on this...

First came in 2008 or so and have been hundreds of times since then. Just went today after a bit away. The largest change is the noise in the practice room, phones present in the room, and people getting up and leaving during savansana. Yoga etiquette here appears to be changed from prior culture. Or the prior rules simply changed (could be?!) The practice itself was what I remember and solid. I may try Bridgeport or online or yoga 6 for a more grounding...

The facility is nice and conveniently located, but my visit to this location was highlighted by my awesome instructor (Marisol?) who ran a really challenging class that also managed to be newbie-friendly and educational. I chatted with her and got some excellent feedback for working on my balance, which has stubbornly refused to improve at the same rate as my core strength. Your first class is free -...
