CorePower Yoga

Corepower is always awesome, this location is no exception! Great facility, great instructor!
I was humbled by the class, super attractive crowd with some super skilled yogis. Location is great… easy to find, easy to park, awesome food options in the plaza.
Stopped by while passing through Austin for a weekend, took a C2 class with Brendan, liked it more than most C1/​C2 classes I have taken in SF /​LA, paced just right & doesn’t sound cheesy when he motivates.
Not 5 stars only because everything is a la carte aka $ 1 towel /​$ 2 water /​$ 2 mat (the norm).

I checked out CPY at the Triangle for their ‘free week’ offer months back and enjoyed their classes so much I ended up buying their ‘black card’, or unlimited yoga program. They give a generous military discount, which is always much appreciated. The teachers are helpful and patient, and are always wanting to talk after class to see how your practice is going.
I especially like how many classes there are to choose from throughout the day. I have a crazy schedule and the flexibility is awesome. I also love that I can go to any other CPY in the country with my black card– I have family in CA that I visit frequently and can still practice while I’m out there. I can also go to any of the 3 studios in Austin to work with my schedule!
I highly recommend checking out CPY if you want a great place to practice and get an awesome sweaty workout!

I had never been much into yoga before; the sessions I had experienced were generally not challenging enough for my taste. I decided to give CorePower a shot because I had the opportunity to take a class for free through my apartment complex.
And I have to say. I enjoyed it! C1 was a good introduction for me since I’m not really familiar with all the poses. The instructor was really friendly and helpful, and I like that they incorporate some core work.
I’m now trying my free week of classes and have taken the C2 class a couple of times. It is WARM up in there and I have come out completely drenched in sweat. I’m also happy to report that I experienced some sore hammies the next day (and it’s a good soreness — not debilitating). Again, I’ve found that the instructors so far have great energy and are really friendly.
Considering my positive experiences so far, I’m now a believer and plan to sign up for their membership after my week is done!

This review is for the candlelight yoga class. I attended for the first time yesterday and it was a great evening wind-​down. The class is heated like Bikram but not as intense, it’s held in the dark with some electric candles near the front of the room, and with music in the background. Jillian (sp?) did a great job leading the class. I think it’s an all level class but it helps if you’re familiar with basic yoga poses. Nice clean facility & cozy rooms for smaller class sizes.

Not my favorite, but nice yoga studio and a little bigger than most. clean facilities.

Corepower Yoga has got it figured out. Great facilities, great locations, and great instructors. Each facility has above average facilities in both entrance lobby, locker rooms, and workout studios. Professional, well kept, and has all the amenities to make your workout the best all around. The triangle location has great instructors; check out Angels class for a well taught and tough hour.

I’ve been able to take a few classes at CPY through ClassPass, and have enjoyed the C2 Sculpt class in particular. My review would be five stars, but I was registered to take a class on Monday at 6 am… and no one showed to open the studio or teach the class. There was a group of about 15 of us waiting. I understand this happens time to time, but I expected some follow-​up from CPY apologizing for the mishap. Mediocre customer service.

Love the 6am sculpt class! Its the perfect combo of cardio and yoga. Plus I am not a morning person and they do an amazing job of waking your body up properly. Awesome day to start the day. Overpriced though

This is my fav yoga studio in Austin.
In all fairness, I taught for Corepower Yoga in Colorado but for a long time I had refused to visit this studio when I would come home to Austin to be able to keep my work life and my yoga life separate. This was a HUGE mistake on my part. I was missing out for too long.
–C1 is for beginners or someone who wants a non-​heated, easier flow. C1s were created with the idea to give new yogis more in depth instruction to get them ready to flow so the classes are consistently the same. which is sort of a treat when you really want some grounding and similarity.
–In general, most c2s are hot enough to have me dripping sweat before we get halfway. The studios have large humidifiers which encourages the sweat to pour. Yes please! C2 is a great addition (yin/​yang) to anyone who runs or lifts weights.
–Sculpt makes for a delicious morning wake up! Jamming out to some amazing music and pumping some (baby sized) iron while still rocking some flows. It’ll make you sweat, get your endorphins flowing, and make you sore as all get out for the next day or so.
–HPF is a mash up of C2 and Bikram style yoga. It’s warmer than a typical C2. Holds some of the typical Bikram postures but also incorporates flowing and down dogs (no chatarungas though!)
My fav sculpt teacher is Gillian. My favorite C2 teacher is Christina K.
The classes are almost always spot on with the heat which I’ve had trouble with at other Austin studios.
The locker rooms are spacious and the showers are always clean.
To the person who rated CPY as two stars, no one should ever be allowed in late. As a teacher, it’s distracting to the energy in the room. As a student, it disrupts my focus and relaxation. If you’re walking into a studio late, that’s actually very rude on your part. 5−6mins is already into the first Sun A so you are actually missing out if you come in late.
Thanks for NOT letting people come into the studio late, CPY Austin. You make my practice so very enjoyable!

I was very impressed with this studio. Welcoming and great staff! Loved the C2 class with Erin! It was my first time and so I get to go free for a week. Such a great deal. They are also opening one up in the Domain coming this August. Great clothing selection and jewelry!

I’ve been practicing yoga for 10 years and this is one of my favorite studios! I love the variety and schedule of classes. As a yoga instructor, I can say I have really enjoyed every class and instructor I’ve been to. I live in the Triangle, so I gave the free week a try and was hooked! Thank you CPY!

I’ve been dropping in at various yoga studios around town for quite a while now. I started with Yoga Yoga and moved over to black swan, bikram, etc. from there.
And you know what? None of them ever got me to where I needed to be to do a headstand. Yep, a freaking headstand. I never thought that would happen for me but it did at corepower and as I attend as regularly as possible I feel my core getting even stronger.
Maybe one day I’ll even be able to do a handstand. That would be pretty sweet but I’m in no hurry. That’s another lesson you might get from yoga. Don’t rush things. They happen when they are supposed to.
Anyway — maybe it was just timing that I’ve experienced a lot of progress with the instructors at corepower but I don’t think so. Their approach is a really nice balance of workout, peaceful meditation and mindful advice.
I’m a big fan.
In particular — I know I’ll get different experiences from most of the instructors at the triangle.
Andie is generally mellow and I appreciate her kind, go at your own pace approach.
Kristen is typically philosophical and I love hearing her deep thoughts.
Francesca seems to always be at the shop and I find her to be very kind and welcoming.
And lastly, I’ll admit I miss Timea’s smiling face since she moved downtown. She was the first to really make me feel welcome and help me progress in my practice.
If you’ve been bouncing around to various studios in Austin like I was, you might want to give Corepower a try.

So I’ve been to a good number of gyms/​studios over the years, and have a pretty good idea of what makes a good one. I also am in a profession that depends a great deal on offering a positive client experience, so I can appreciate anyone who does a good job.
The folks at CorePower yoga offer a great studio, and are very accommodating from what I can see, to their members. I attending class as a visitor, but was treated very well. Nice studio, helpful staff, and Mary was a very informed, attentive, instructor. Did I mention they have a pretty cool locker room as well? Nice amenity.
I think the location was very convenient as well, even if I arrived (I thought) twenty minutes early, but was at the wrong place. I’d highly reccommend this to a beginner or someone advanced. And they offer a wide array of classes, no matter your level. My only regret is that I had to leave early for work, and was unable to complete, what was a very good class. Good folks.

I’ve been doing yoga on and off for about 5 years. For the first time in 3 years, I’ve bought a 10-​class pack directly from a studio (i.e. not through groupon/​yelp/​etc.) because I know I will go often enough to use it. Here’s what’s great about CorePower:
–Physical focus. If you prefer to gently stretch and contemplate your inner Buddha, this probably isn’t the place for you. There is no partner yoga, no sitting in a circle and sharing about your day, no divining the aura of the room, etc. (If this sounds strange to you, you’re probably new to Austin.) While there is a mindfulness element to most classes, and while I am centered and relaxed when I leave, I love that I still get a bona fide workout. (To people who hate that yoga has been distorted by Western music and modern-​day core work: you’re right and I get it. But I also still prefer new age yoga and if my only choice were the traditional version, I wouldn’t do it.)
–Variety. They accommodate a wide range of preferences by having a full schedule with lots of instructors who teach in different styles. So: if you go to your first class and don’t love it, don’t be discouraged! I’ve been to about 15 classes now and can say that they really do vary quite a bit depending on the instructor and class style. For example, I thought I would love the weighted classes. Alas, I don’t. At all. On the flip side, I thought I would be bored in the candlelight class, but now it’s one of my favorites! (PS: Lots of people l-​o-​v-​e the weighted classes. It’s just too freakin’ hot in there to be moving around anything more than my own body weight.)
—Scheduling – especially the 8:15/8:45 P.M. options. Why more places don’t accommodate the after 8 crowd is a mystery to me.
–Ability to use class passes at all locations. I live part-​time in Dallas, so I love that I can use my classes at their 2 (soon to be 3!) locations there.
–Student discount. This small gesture speaks volumes to us student folk.

I just moved to Austin and used to occasionally do hot yoga. I found this studio through a friend and utilized their free week.
Teachers appear hit or miss. I went to two yoga scultping classes — wow! So crazy I couldn’t move the following day I was sore all over!
They apparently have a rule where you cant enter a class at after 5 minutes. I told the instructor my friend was driving from Cedar park and they said no problem. She gets there at 12:07 and they wont let her in just to try the class — even though the instructor told me it was fine. That rule is bogus because I went to another class and some girl came in at 15 after.
Unfortunately their prices are outrageous. The floor is bubbling up from the heat and they dont appear to wash their straps or wipe down their foam blocks/​weights between classes (ew!)
Happy to have used the free week, but 190/​month for yoga is excessive.

I really like this place. I like the location a lot, it’s very modern and the triangle is a cute hub to come to. Parking is generally ok, but occasionally you may have to park in the back garage, so factor an extra 10 minutes to your commute. Occasionally, but not always, there are a few weekend classes that can get super packed, so you want to come early. Fairly recently they also added a whole bunch of candlelight night classes which are super relaxing. There’s loads of different instructors, so you can always try different ones out. In my experience though, they’re all super nice and knowledgeable. It has been a very relaxing and hassle-​free experience everytime I go.

I can’t believe how long it has taken me to write a review about this wonderful studio!
I have been apart of Corepower for about a year. (oh my goodness, has it been that long already?! dannng), and I can say, hands down, best studio in Austin! My favorite things about the studio are…
clean bathrooms and studios! A+.
Awesome teachers
Hot studios
Great scheduling. like seriously.
Cute yoga clothes to buy! :)
I started yoga with attending donation based studio classes and online classes. I was really getting into yoga during the Summer of 2013. practicing almost everyday at home. One day, I decided I wanted to expand my knowledge. my goal for 2014 was to attend a yoga teacher training! the studio I usually went to did not offer teacher training yet, so I did some research…
At the time, I was not getting paid much at all, so finding a fairly cheap training with payment plans was mandatory! This turned out to be pretty hard to find since alot of trainings were almost or about 3000! yikes! I was starting to loose hope until one of my roommates at the time also became interested in teacher training. She was a patron of the 6am sculpt classes, but at the time, I was skeptical — yoga with weights?! a corporate yoga studio?! is this yoga?! Yeah, I was silly back then. Next thing you know, I joined CorePower, obtained my 200hr teacher training cert., and I currently practice there 3 times a week! I live on Slaughter lane now, so it is harder to get to classes and practice there as much. But! it is definitely worth it!
What I like the most about the studio. and what I am grateful for… is their YFT program!
You clean the studio for 3hrs a week and you get a free membership! I have been doing it for about…8 months? definitely worth it if you still want to yoga it up and save money. Plus, I love cleaning!
I highly recommend this studio! I know some can be hesitant about it being corporate, but I wouldn’t worry about it ;) CP usually has free week passes where you can check out the classes for free. for a whole week!

As an extreme beginner to yoga I felt completely at home at CPY! Their C1 class is great for beginners. My friend and I went together as part of their «free week» for new students and we were both hooked after the first session. As beginners we were nervous about not knowing what we were doing, but there is a great energy and a real focus on doing what feels best for you in the moment — even if it’s not what the rest of the class is doing. With a ton of options for class times, clean studios and bathrooms, and a staff this kind and helpful, I can’t recommend this studio enough!

Great yoga for non-​hippie /​hipster /​earth mother types. Sculpt is a terrific weight training class, and the instructors are nice, friendly and helpful. Minus one for the mortal combat parking sitch at the Triangle and the sometimes loose honoring of the 5-​minute grace policy. (Nothing like fighting through Austin traffic, only to find a locked door and an aw, shucks attitude.) Still, it’s a good workout that keeps me coming back.

This is absolutely my favorite yoga studio in Austin. There are 3 reasons why:
1) The teachers are friendly, knowledgeable, and respect your personal space if you so desire.
2) The schedules are way more convenient than other studios, with lots of morning, evening, and late classes.
3) There are lots of variety of classes and pricing options, which you can’t find elsewhere.
The only downside is you can’t be late, so make sure you’re on time to class! I highly recommend this yoga studio.
