I love the Trolley Square CorePower studio. The location is perfect and the studio is charming. The windows in the studio provide a pretty look outside during practice. The C1 classes are a great way to work on foundations and still get a great work out. C2s are always challenging and the heat feels great--especially in the winter. I love Katie G's C2 on Thursdays at 4:30. She is an amazing instructor who makes me work hard in class. She also shares truly inspirational stories through classes. Judd's 7:15 Hot Power Fusion class on Wednesday's is an intense working and also offers relaxing restorative poses. I have gone to some fun themed classes here; some were based on certain musicians like the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and many more. These are high-energy and such a fun way to practice with an upbeat group of people. I would recommend anyone who is interested in trying yoga to come try out a C1 or restore class. The C2s and Hot Power Fusions are always fun and an intense, gratifying workout. I find it quite obvious that most students who write angry, irrational reviews result from when they have tried a very hard class without much experience. Beginning with a class that's designed for beginners is the best way to have a good first experience and work up to harder/heated classes! Great studio for someone who's never tried yoga or has been...
Read moreI’ve taken a bunch of great classes here, but I want to give a particular shoutout to two standouts: Nikki’s 7:30 PM Sunday Sound Bath Heated Fusion and Emily’s 9 PM Monday Candlelight Core 2.
In Nikki’s Sunday class, you get an hour and 15 minutes total—about an hour of heated fusion flow that sets you up perfectly for the sound bath at the end. She’s got a great collection of crystal bowls (which she can somehow play multiple at once), plus a rain stick and other harmonic surprises. It’s a super charming and immersive experience—hard to imagine a better way to wind down and reset for the week.
Emily’s Monday night class is something totally new for me. It hits a unique tone: mellow enough for a late-night session but still packed with opportunities to challenge yourself. She threads in a smart, modern vinyasa sequence that builds toward fun peak poses—one night it was a baby grasshopper capstone pose, which stuck with me as a perfect “go try something new” moment. It’s a blast.
This studio has a lot to offer, and these two classes could easily fly under the radar....
Read moreI love the variety of classes, and I love CPY in general. However, I give 4 starts because there’s room for improvement in the following: -they used to give wet towels at the end of class, I loved that. They stopped a while ago saying it’s for the drought, but it really sounds like it’s a cost saving practice considering the amount of water that goes into a wet towel. -they used to offer more adjustments during classes by giving you a coin, they don’t anymore. -the space between one mat to the other is not enough to move comfortably during class. Luckily most classes aren’t full, but if they are, it’s not enjoyable. -the app needs serious improvements and debugs. The whole system of booking, payments,...
