CorePower Yoga - Dupont Circle — Local services in Washington

Two stars for the studio management. No one tells you the door will be locked upon arrival so you get to stand out in the cold waiting for someone eventually to let you in, which in my case, was a very unfriendly person who barely could check me in. To make things worse, that same unfriendly person was the yoga instructor, who gave the worst yoga class I've ever attended. Barely spoke loud enough to hear, and just paced around the room -- completely un-engaged. Would not return.

Revised: In response to the above review, the studio posted the below response, highlighting their incompetence since my review says nothing about me being late or not being able to attend class.

Hi Katie, Thanks for your feedback on our late policy. This is to preserve that wonderful first few minutes of turning inward and warming up for all of our students. We hold strongly to our late policy for all classes; if one of the studio management team is at the studio within 5 minutes of class starting, they will do their best to get you into class. Moving forward, we suggest arriving 10-15 minutes prior to scheduled class time, as it is our policy to have instructors lock the doors right at scheduled start time. Thanks again for reaching out, let us know if we can support you in...

I travel to DC regularly for business, and usually visit the CityCenter studio when I am in town. I decided to try Dupont Circle last Saturday because there was a great class time that really fit with my schedule (there seem to be a lot less C2 classes compared with YS). I really enjoyed my experience! The studio was easy to find and was conveniently located. I was warmly welcomed, and everything was clean and in great condition. I took C2 with Kia at 9:30. I was blown away to learn that this was her first class as a teacher! Kia was confident, poised, and easy to follow, and she definitely came across as caring and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed her flow; it was challenging, creative, and really allowed us to use and explore our space. As always, the class as a whole had a great positive energy; I have been using CP on Demand for the past year, and it has been great getting back into the studio with other people! I will definitely return to the Dupont Circle studio when I...

Corepower is where I came to truly enjoy yoga! I love vinyasa in the heat format.

I used to be a gym rat and would attend various yoga studios for my yoga time. Once I found CPY, I no longer needed my gym - Sculpt classes gets my cardio and toning! I no longer needed to go to Bikhram yoga studios - HPF does that! And of course C2s are great and very challenging . When I don't want a lot of heat I slip into a challenging C1, which is pretty much unheated. Instructors are super friendly and I've made friends with other students that I still have three years later! Love...
