Student Testimonials

I absolutely love this studio!! Everyone is so nice and the classes were amazing!

Studio quality/cleanliness, class variety, instructor quality.

The shattuck studio is full of amazing teachers and management. Maria does a great job of keeping the studio full of special events + workshops!

Challenging class, and very friendly staff

It is nice to be able to do yoga at Core Power when traveling for business.

Fumika is an awesome teacher. She has such a calm and strong presence. She really engages and challenges me to new levels. I really like her C1.5 class and hope it becomes a regular class. I need help transitioning to C2 and her C1.5 is perfect for that. Thank you, Fumika!!

The workouts are fantastic!

I like the fact that I can walk to the studio. The studio staff are friendly and remember your name and often personal details such as injuries. The size of the space and atmosphere is just right, not too big and cold like a gym. It is much more intimate than West Berkeley. The only reason I would not recommend this studio is that it is costly for many.

I understand that staff is not there to pick up after clients, but sometimes there are towels, tissues, and similar paraphernalia left around the locker space, on the floor, open locker doors with forgotten stuff. It makes the experience a bit irritating and it feels sloppy. It's not so fun to find that someone has left used cotton swabs, tissue, wet towel... Perhaps a friendly sign that reminds people to pick up after themselves.

Otherwise, I really enjoy my experience at Shattuck CorePower. I wish I had an injury-free body so I could come more frequently. Thanks to all the instructors. I appreciate that the classes are consistent in level with emphasis in form regardless of the style or pose sequences offered.

LOVE the Shattuck studio and went to the University studio this morning and it was ALSO fantastic. Huge fan.

Alyssa was really friendly and like the flow of her class.

Maria, the manager is awesome and super inviting. When I first came to the studio, I was new to yoga and started taking different classes. Found that I kept coming back to HPF and also the Sculpt classes for a good workout aside from the gym. Thanks so much for sparking a passion for yoga that I didn't know existed.

It's a friendly space and a good workout! I like the opportunity to meditate at the end (it's a really nice mix of physical exercise and relaxation).

Staff have been consistently nice at the Shattuck location. I am not crazy about the other Berkeley location (West Berkeley I believe)

a very clean studio. a good instructor. many time options.

I LOVE CorePower Yoga, Its the favorite part of my day. Every class is unique and challenging in its own way and all of the teachers are so different but well informed, friendly, knowledgeable and professional with their own style and spin on each class. Its super fun and has helped me get sooooo fit and motivated to push my yoga journey as far as I can!

Great Staff/Yogi leaders

Instructor was great and very knowledgeable. Appreciated the attention she spent on getting into handstand and the different layers of approaching it.

I have loved it! Definitely getting a black tag membership and my best friend will be joining as well!

CorePower Yoga at Shattuck is a fantastic and well run studio! I enjoy multiple opportunities to drop in for a class over the course of a day, making it easy to get to my mat (even if my week is unpredictable!). I also appreciate the range of classes for the beginner and intermediate yogi alike. For C2 classes in particular, I also appreciate the creativity and design of flows from instructor to instructor--the variety is refreshing. No matter which instructor, the auditory cues and hands-on assistance is extremely helpful and well done for ensuring that each posture is done safely. Lastly, I like how instructors encourage us to come up after class for more tips, what we liked/didn't like, and why we do yoga. In general, CorePower Yoga at Shattuck fosters a really great environment encouraging self love and appreciation (which I felt was particularly important for me as a beginner!). I honestly have never experienced a bad class. For as long as I am living in Berkeley, I will continue going to this studio and recommending it to friends.

I love Yoga Sculpt class.

Lila's class was wonderful -- good flow, a good workout, good for mental focus and release. Glad I went!

Great music, and class options. All the instructors provide the right amount of guidance and motivation. Fun selection of clothes!

I love corepower. Excellent teachers, great classes.

I feel so much better after every class I take.

the instructors

Yoga Sculpt. This is exactly what I was looking for. I was taking Bikram many years, but it was quite boring. My flexibility did not improve much. I did not get any muscle. I did not lose any weight. I see the result from Yoga Sculpt class in just a few days.

The teachers are great, the rooms are nice and warm, and the classes are challenging. My only request is offering some C3 classes or longer classes! I would love more time to practice arm balances and inversions.

Great class and friendly, terrific staff!

Everything was ready and the staff was awesome!

Great studio and instructors
