Student Testimonials

It was the instructors that we loved during our visit to Portland!

Instructors are super friendly & calm!

Great workout, beautiful facility, kind staff. (Although a touch expensive!)

The people.

The talented instructors especially Jessica Starr who is so inspiring and the supportive community.

I love the core restore classes. I wish there were more of them.

everything! Awesome classes, great teachers, and yoga products!

Claudia was lovely and helpful at the desk and then lead us beautifully through our yoga.
Thank you!

Amazing classes & teachers! I always feel better, both physically & mentally, when I walk out of class. I love CPY!

The instructor gave very good adjustments during class and the location of the studio was easy to find.

Very friendly staff - Andrew was wonderful!

The teachers were amazing and the energy in the studio kept me coming back. If I lived near a CP studio, I would get a membership. Definitely my go-to studio when I travel!

LOVE

Original, challenging vinyasa classes with welcoming staff.

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.

Jonie is fantastic!!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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
