CorePower Yoga

Took a class with Erin, she’s fantastic loved my class too!! Will be doing it more often!! Make sure to buy your own mat-​their prices are a bit higher!!!

Let me start by saying I’m a yoga instructor, not at corepower but it various other places. The instructors here are good the facility is beautiful and I’m so glad that there are decent classes in the South burbs. I only do hot yoga in the winter when its negative five million. And that for me is more philosophical about building your own heat. This is my favorite hot yoga place.

I can never find the words for how much I love this place. I had never tried yoga or really exercised before I started at CorePower Apple Valley when they opened 4 months ago, and my progress is unwaveringly noticeable, even beyond the studio. The instructors come from such a loving intention to help you, and the connectedness that you feel after attending a class will renew and energize you. I am so thrilled this Studio opened in Apple Valley, I look forward to every chance I can catch a class, and I will continue to leave each class with an extra pep in my step!
If you’ve never done yoga before I recommend a Candlelight class for a nice slow relaxed flow, or a C1 if you’re a beginner but want a touch more of a workout.
If you’ve done yoga, and like a little more of an intense workout, I LOVE the C2s — A bit faster paced and you can learn more advanced poses if you like.
If you’ve done yoga and like the HEAT, go to Hot yoga Express — I seem to learn more about each posture, what it does, and how to get deeper :)
If you want to feel like you’ve REALLY had a workout – take a sculpt class, you’ll definitely get your heart rate up!

For locals, the facility was the old «Fashion Bug» but you’d sure never know it! The locker rooms and studios are top notch. CorePower is a bit of the West Coast in the Midwest and I truly hope the location thrives as it is bright spot in an otherwise rundown strip mall. Don’t let the location dissuade you from checking out the earthy and energizing interior (yes, it alone may help the MN winter blues).
CorePower (location independent) is NOT for everyone. CorePower is not for the yoga purist or anyone who feels uncomfortable in the heat/​humidity. The three different instructors I had were well trained, worked each wall of the room and offered hands-​on assistance with poses. You get their personality through their music selection and pose sequences.
Your first week is free, so you’ve got nothing to lose! Give it a try and I guarantee you will feel alive. Unless you’re experienced in Birkram or accustomed to a good Zone 4 workout, ensure you choose a «C1» course.
I’ve given this particular CorePower a ⁴⁄₅ stars for the simple fact it doesn’t have a «feel» or «vibe» yet. I’d love to see it adopt «Minnesotan» roots instead of sticking with the exact franchise guidelines. It does suck that there are no windows in the studios, but maybe there is a fun way to bring the outside into the studios?

Wow. This is for sure the nicest CorePower Studio we’ve been to. The facilities, teachers, variety of classes, staff, and spa are just incredible. We live in Uptown and go to that studio on a regular basis and love it. This Apple Valley studio opened near my parents home where I grew up. I convinced mom and dad to give it a try (your first week is FREE), and I’m so glad I did. They both are now monthly auto pay members and totally addicted — and even though I live a half hour away I find myself wanting to make the drive because this studio is SO impressive. If you’re new to Yoga, as we all were at some point, there couldn’t be a better studio to give it a try. Again, it’s FREE for a week, but more importantly the teachers, staff and community here are welcoming, helpful, and just fun! I knew my mom would love it, but the fact that my dad is now hooked is a testament to how life-​changing yoga can be when combined with an amazing setting like the Apple Valley CP. And to top all of this off their in-​studio SPA is fantastic! My wife and I both received a service and felt they were among the best we’ve ever had. We are now Spa members too :) Everything is new, big, beautiful, and every detail was thought of. Check it out!
