Student Testimonials
My C1 instructor Justin is the best!!
The staff are wonderful and I get an amazing workout with each instructor.
The teachers are wonderful!
All great, but last class started ~5 min late and the instructor hurried through the sequences.
WC CPY is amazing.
My only suggestion would be more midday (12:15) YS classes (Tuesday and Thursday don’t have one).
Also, Carolyn’s class should be the template for all teachers. She is hands down, one of the best YS instructor I have ever practiced with. I wish every CPY class was like hers. Great music, high heat, intense, fun, all the things it should be.

Stacy is the BEST teacher! She makes class accessible for all and meets each student where they are at. Thank you, Stacy!
After 1000 classes with Core Power at Blackhawk Plaza, I can positively say that there is no other studio that I would rather train at than Blackhawk. They are my #1.
It is always a really good experience , I’m very lucky to have a nice and a very good yoga teacher!
Lauren and Victor
I love the wide variety of yoga classes, how geneuine and open to feedback the instructors are, and the music selection for every single class always makes you want to dance!
Very good ambiance, coaches and the music is amazing every time. The training is always very good and works well with core training of mind and body. I have been part of CorePower Yoga as a member in the past and done extensive training which significantly toned my body along with cardiovascular fitness, along with mindfulness. Thank you, Paramita R.
Great flow and teacher
Listen, CPY Walnut Creek is fantastic and an excellent representation of the larger CPY experience.
However, corporate leans to heavily on instructors. Each instructor does a fantastic job of prepping for class, facilitating class, and setting the tone for the end of class. However, to expect instructors to then clean not only the studio but the locker rooms and common areas is a bit much. With the cost of monthly membership, I don't think that it is unreasonable to have professional cleaners come to the studio once per week to establish a baseline of clean and sanitation that a paid janitorial team could support on a daily basis.
Additionally, maintenance matters go far too long without being attended to. Staff struggled with the door for months and now the heat...and before that it was the water filtration system. Corporate offices have to support studios. After all, we know that good instructors have no shortage of options.
Friendly instructors with clean studio.
Classes are more choices from morning to evening even on weekends.
Great instruction! Very challenging class♥️♥️♥️almost died in the best way 🥰🥰I’ll be back
It’s always a pleasure to take a sculpt class from Lauren! It takes me 35 mins to drive to class with the traffic but I don’t mind it at all!
everything
The staff at the Rockridge studio are outstanding and are the ones who make that studio the best! Amanda, Lauren, Ariana and Anisha are top notch. It is also great to have Jessie back as studio manager.
The classes and teachers are great and consistent. I’ve tried 4 different teachers and they’ve all been great! The studio is nice, clean, and has all the amenities!
Love the community and the heat!!!
Friendly and easy environment! Very clean !
Friendly staff!
The instructors, facilities, classes (and music) are all top notch! Always feel fantastic coming out of the studio.
Everyone is friendly as well as instructors. And classes are great!
I love Saturday morning class with Victor! He pushes us and it’s a real hot class with intense heat and a really good flowing pace. It’s fantastic for those yogis who have been practicing for years who need a greater challenge but haven’t found it in other classes. I also love that it’s early so that I can get back home as my kids are waking up for Saturday. Please have more intense heat and extra challenging classes like these throughout the week!!

One of the best decisions I continue to enjoy is joining Core Power Yoga, especially at the West Berkeley location. The staff are professional, friendly, and welcoming; it almost feels like going back to school. There are a few minor glitches I've noticed, but I hope they will be addressed. Firstly, if a booking is made on the app and canceled immediately or within 15 minutes of booking, there should not be a charge. Secondly, when a teacher is substituted by someone else, it would be helpful to have a brief summary of the substitute's experience and background. Overall, I am very pleased with Core Power Yoga
The instructors
I love the class variety, heated rooms, experienced instructors, multiple locations near my home and the positive community
I had not taken a true yoga class in many many years and Kim made it comfortable and truly enjoyable. Incredibly clean studio, friendly and welcoming staff, great music and an overall enjoyable experience that I will definitely come to again.

I LOVE it here!
The music could be more upbeat and recent, (Kendrick Lamar 'Not Like Us'...Saweetie, Megan Thee Stallion vibes), especially for the high-intensity classes. We're in The Bay- I'd love to also hear some music from here (Too $hort, E-40, etc)! Overall so awesome, thank you!
