The next thing we knew we were all laying on our backs in Savasana and class was over. This class was fast paced, high energy and FUN! We started with a yoga warm-up, then we added weights to our yoga poses and even did a cardio segment in the middle. As soon as the instructor came in and turned on the upbeat music I knew we were in for a good time. It sounds pretty self-explanatory, but I had no idea what we were getting ourselves into with this one and Brian and I both loved every second of it! The room was heated with the light addition of humidity and we grabbed 5lb dumbbells.

We went to a few of these in our free week! Really a great starting place for CorePower beginners. Each class ended with some core work before the final Savasana. We always started with a warm-up, then we did some sun salutations, then we would learn a sequence and go through it slowly one or two times before picking up the pace and getting deeper into the poses. I enjoyed it because I could tell that each “C2” class was structured the same. This class really focused on strengthening postures and engaging the core. I attended classes at the Grant and Broadway studios here in Denver and had very positive experiences at both CorePower Yoga locations! The instructors remembered my name, they were friendly and welcoming, and they stayed after class to answer any questions. Getting to class early will also give you a little time to lay in Savasana to clear your mind, or stretch anything that needs to be stretched before starting class. Each class is first come first serve (no online reservations) so definitely make sure you get to class about 5-10 minutes early to claim your spot. We attended classes at various times throughout the week (7:30am, 10am, 8:30pm, 4pm, 9am) and every single class was full. I even started following the CorePower Yoga music channel on Spotify! Even though the focus was less spiritual, the instructors still had amazing “words of wisdom” that they shared at the beginning of class for us to think about during our practice.Īlso, I want to make it clear…we loved the sweatiness! It was just a shock the first time we took a class. While each class was a little different, it appeared that these classes are a bit more exercise-focused rather than spiritual and they all played AMAZING music. We tried three classes and sweated our butts off in each one. During that class, the instructor mentioned that there was a problem with the heaters but it felt warm and cozy in the classroom so I thought that was how it was supposed to be. You should expect to literally sweat more than you ever have in your entire life! Brian and I had attended one hot yoga class prior to this and honestly didn’t sweat much. I believe all their yoga classes are heated with added humidity. The mission of CorePower Yoga is “s hare our authentic passion for yoga and healthy living to inspire everyone to live their most extraordinary life.” Basically they want to share yoga and it’s benefits with the masses, and I think they are doing a pretty darn good job of that! They originally started out at the Grant Street Studio in Denver, CO in 2002 and are now located in 13 different states.ĬorePower offers a variety of classes, and Brian and I were able to try three of them.
Last week, Brian and I did our free week with CorePower Yoga ( this is something available to all new members!) and I wanted to share our experience with all of you! Like I mentioned before, I am not a certified yoga instructor and still consider myself fairly green when it comes to practicing yoga so this review is written from the participant’s perspective 🙂 I knew that the studios were popular out West, but what I didn’t realize was that CorePower was founded in Denver and there are SEVERAL studios throughout the city.
That being said, while living in Indianapolis I heard of a yoga studio called CorePower Yoga that we didn’t have in Indy. When it comes to the type of yoga I practice, I am always open-minded and willing to try new things but I absolutely love a quicker-paced more powerful vinyasa yoga class.
I am really proud to say that I think there have only been two weeks this year that I have gone without yoga 🙂
The perfect combination of a mind and body workout! A personal goal I set for myself this year was to practice yoga at least once a week, because I love the way it loosens my muscles that get super tight from more intense workouts (indoor cycling, running, Bodypump, HIIT, etc) and it really allows me to clear my head and set me in the right frame of mind. Recently, Brian and I have been really enjoying practicing yoga together.
