Student Testimonials

I feel like I'm getting a great workout. The instructor was wonderful.

Great s5aff

I love CPY DT MPLS, everything about it :)

The teacher was great! Calming but also motivational.

Encouraging instructors, clean instructions, loved the evening class when the lights dim.

Last October I climbed a 21.000 feet volcano in Ecuador (the closest place on earth to the sun) it was a very intense vertical climb.
Climbing taught me to seek the highest endeavors, embrace uncertainty, fully commit, tolerate adverse situations, and seek great companionship… these are all lessons that I now see in terms of a larger life perspective. Climbing allowed me to push beyond my preconceived notions of what is possible, and to do so in a contained, very focused way. I was able to connect the internal experience with the external, and to see connections between physical, mental and emotional movement patterns. There’s a mental awareness and clarity of experience there that you rarely encounter in daily life. It was a magical, spiritual healing journey & part of that journey I credit to CPY.

In CPY environment I`m able not just to be myself, but to find, discover, evaluate, absorb or discard aspects of myself. Every class is like a fitness journey to self-discovery – through hard core workouts, focus on breath, body awareness and alignment, knowledge and learning, reflection and testing out ideas, absorbing and integrating what resonated with my beliefs and prior knowledge. I learned to listen to my body and to honor its wisdom. This experience opened up my curiosity and awareness of the connection and alignment between body, mind and soul. I feel so blessed to have the privilege of learning what I’ve learned in these few years. My life is different, CPY has helped me to be a bigger and deeper person, my growth is happening at other levels, my mind, and my spirit are now more engaged in the process of shedding the old patterns and beliefs as my body is freed…

In my heart I really understand now that all of our suffering is caused by forgetting who we really are at essence, and that we are all on this journey together to remember who we are so that we can in turn remind others, and so on…

Quality teachers and classes

The team at the downtown studio are my favorite! They all have different qualities for whatever mood I'm in. They create a strong community vibe that thrives.

The teachers are all amazing and they greet you upon arrival of their class. I love how each teacher can add their own personal touch and variety to their class.

GREAT INSTRUCTORS! Amenities were fabulous, good locations and class offerings.

Convenient location close to work.
Enjoyed my first class very much.
As a complete beginner it would have been helpful to have the teacher demonstrate each move more than once so that I could follow along a few times with her once we started.
It would also be helpful to be told during each position where we should be feeling the stretch or additional information about what we are trying to accomplish out of the position.
Overall a great experience for someone brand new to yoga.

great community and teachers love it (:

The instructors, the community of people and obviously the "yoga product"

Great instructors at the downtown location!
A couple of things I would change in some Sculpt classes:
No high fives- I know it sounds anti social, but during flu and cold months it is not a good idea.
Also, I really like pop and hip hop music played during classes- just a personal preference.
Cue water/ towel breaks- Everyone should be drinking water in a sculpt class, and not feeling like they are left behind because the rest of the class has moved on.
No major grievances, but just my opinion. I love CPY!!

I love teachers and the community! and I love yoga:)

Killer workouts in friendly environment

The instructors are fantastic at what they do and are very welcoming. It is a well oiled machine at that location. Even the members that go are supportive and friendly.

the instructor for sculpt on Saturday at 8 am was off the chain good

This is such an amazing studio! Coming from NY, I was looking for a place to seek a community and right away, I felt at home. There are some really great teachers with a good schedule- i've loved practicing here.
My only comment would be that all the teachers talk about adjusting during classes, and the only teacher I got adjustments from was from Molly. I've noticed that I've had other CP teachers in my class that I practice next to, and they get multiple adjustments during class, and no one else received attention. I know I shouldn't focus on that, but I think that if you're new, and an announcement will be made, then teachers should help new students as well as teachers in the class.

Other than that, I have loved my experience at this home away from home.

love the downtown studio environment, the people and its super convenient to be a black tag member - especially since I travel a lot.

The community

Love the classes and teachers and free parking option.

calm atmosphere, friendly staff, helpful corrections during class
