Student Testimonials
Jonie is fantastic!!!
I love that I can expect to sweat in my yoga practice
Great instructors!! Bonnie was fabulous on Sunday and it was my first class in years...Thank You Bonnie 😊
Conveniently timed classes very good instructors, particularly Sandr G
I *love* the NW location at Corepower! Is there any chance you could add a 6pm class to the schedule? I leave work at 5pm in SW, and I can never guarantee that I'd make it anywhere by the 5:30pm class in NW or the 5:15pm class in SE. I always find myself wishing there was a 6pm class- I'd go to yoga after work a lot more often if I didn't have to wait to take the 7pm in NW or the 6:30pm in SE!
A - Availability of classes in time, flavor and location.
B - No surprises (good quality) starting from front desk, to instructions, washrooms, lighting, heat, sound etc.
C - Washrooms are very nice and large enough to accommodate many (for the mens I can attest). Also cleanliness and sanitation seems to be a priority
Putting A, B, C together, it is like a good quality McDonald's that is good for one's mind and body.
Finally, very warm and friendly people!
I like the frequency of classes and quality of instructors. I also appreciate the clean and tidy facilities.
I've used my membership at several CorePower studios across the US and consistently get a great, inspiring workout by taking Yoga Sculpt. Portland has some of the most talented and creative teachers--with an extra shout-out to the extraordinary Jessica Starr. Jessica always brings creative sequencing; uplifting, motivating music; inspiring, thoughtful intentions; and she knows how to "read" her class and challenge them without depleting them. She is a true gem.
The only feedback I have at this time is that I try to avoid classes where I know that low-energy, repetitive music is played in class. I find it a real struggle to mobilize internal strength and motivation when I can't "use" the music. Songs that are awesome in other contexts (e.g., rap, repetitive club music) don't work in a YS environment, where people need to draw on their internal strength, the strength of the group, and the energy of the music to push themselves to new heights.
I adore CorePower and especially the Portland studios. I am very glad you all are a part of my life!
Supportive & extremely helpful, thank you.
Wonderful guided practices, as well!
fun class with great music
Challenging classes. Helpful and friendly instructors that push yogis to set new limits
Everyone is super nice and easy going! I love it here :)
Lovely setting. Teachers are great, and each have a uniqueness to their flows. Everything about it works for me.
Had a great class with Maple yesterday!
Established yoga instructors:
Sarah K., Jonie, Colin, Amy, Jeremy, Charissa --- all of these instructors are still really bringing their A-game. New instructors should strive to be as articulate, engaging, friendly, and authentic.
Studio management is effective and efficient.
Molly D. has clearly been nailing it as an area/regional manager.
I think I mention this in every feedback survey--- that watercooler (and the milk crate that it is resting on) is an eyesore, and it's in a very odd location that causes congestion from studios to locker rooms.
Retail clothing: Men's tshirt that reads "Real Men Do Yoga"... it's 2018, with a lot of people who have very strong opinions on gender equality. I would've expected more thoughtfulness from such a progressive company.
Friendly staff, clean facility, excellent classes
I absolutely love this studio! The instructors are great and everyone makes you feel wanted with an extended kind hand. I especially appreciate the motivation from the outstanding mgr. Lisa and her excellent staff. Taking classes from Lisa, Alex Ko, Jessica, Kema, Amy, Crystal, Ailie Ke, really everyone, I am left feeling happier and absolutely healthier!
Love this location snd staff! My only suggestion would be its a little ripe smelling. Not sure what could be done , just wanted you to know
Everyone is so supportive and nice all the time. I always have an awesome work out.
Lindsey is incredible! I loved everything about her class: the music, the program, her cuing, her energy. It was fantastic. Highly recommend CPY and Lindsey!
Location(s), the instructors, class availability & diversity, music, hands-on help from instructors, membership option.
I like the selection of products for sale, incase I ever show up and need a pair of yoga pants-there are plenty of great brands to choose from. The service at CPY is outstanding. ALways a friendly smile to greet you and common needs are supplied for your use such as hair ties and blow dryer, deoderant spray, etc... all happily there for your use.
My favorite place in Portland!
So many classes to choose from! Also the staff is friendly and warm!
I love the way I feel afterwards. I will cleansed and balanced. I wish it was more affordable for drop in sessions.
Great classes
Good workout and great teachers
Teachers are awesome! Sculpt class is my favorite.
This was a great class, it was very challenging. The instructor was fantastic and the music was fantastic.
great teachers
I’ve tried two other yoga studios in Portland and I LOVE core power. I love the flow of the classes, C2 and sculpt are my favorite. I love the way that they push you to strengthen your body and your practice but still have you leaving with an amazing sense of peace of mind.
