Student Testimonials
Love the 5:30am classes- perfect start to the day!
I’ve felt super welcome and seen, and the classes have been amazing . Just what I needed . Thank you!
Always a stellar class! My forever favorite double of all times - so glad the instructor is still around as the community truly values his skills and love for yoga!
Melissa Tuell is the best instructor!
I like the convivence.
The classes are varied and always a fun challenge, and the instructors are kind and knowledgeable. As an older woman, I feel welcomed and accepted. Movements are modified to my capabilities. The studios are bright, clean and spacious. I'm fairly new to a regular yoga practice and my mat has quickly become one of my happy places!
Aisha is amazing from beginning to end.
The environment & the energy was GREAT!!! I loved everything about this place!!
great workout! I loved the Yoga Sculpt. The instructor was a great communicator and kept me inspired, especially at the challenging parts of class.
CorePower outshines all other yoga studios and yoga memberships I've had. I like everything about my CorePower experience. Here's the key reasons I love CorePower:
* The variety and quality of the classes
* The welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly, accepting and inspiiring instructors
* The clean, contemporary, branded studios - all of which offer good amenities and good locations
* The heat!
* The community of yogis!
* The easy class registration process
I attend classes at the Rockridge and Grand Lake studios in the East Bay regularly but have also attended CorePower locations in San Francisco, Boston, Minneapolis.
Esther is a wonderful flow instructor!
I would be great to have more classes in the early mornings - like 7:30am sculpt.
In addition, love to have more sculpt classes in Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Great & clean yoga studio compare to the studios in SoCal.
In addition, it would be great to have popular/star instructors from the corepower studios to do be guest instructors in other studios to get a mix variety of instruction styles, etc.
Very nice experience. I like the warm room, warm instructor, clean bathroom.
Love everything about CORE from the studio, instructors, and yoga class options. It's very clean and the whole experience is worth every penny!
The instructors are the best....without a doubt. I especially love Tash. She will correct by cuing but also by physically modeling the correction. This is very helpful because I am a visual lerarner. I love all the instructors. I attend at Corepower locations across the country, as well as other hot yoga studios and Corepower is what I would reccomend.
Love Nish!
Love the teachers at this location, particular Tobie!!
I would like to request that when a class is completely full that the door gets cracked at some point. I enjoy the heat of the rooms but a packed class can make it difficult to breathe.
Blackhawk Core Power is the BEST! The best teachers and students, the cleanest, convenient and easy to park and friendly. I absolutely love it there. It’s my HAPPY PLACE.
Instructors are great. services are great. studio is always clean. Love going there.
Welcoming and inclusive environment. Friendly service and clean studios
Loved it
Consistent, challenging, heated yoga classes. Very detoxing. Livestream options when traveling.
They offered lots of variations, from intro to advanced in class. And as someone new to yoga it was nice to start with intro moves and slowly build my up to a more advanced variation. It made me feel proud and stong!
Namrata's classes are the best! She always creates a challenging class for my physical needs while calming my mind and body. She has the most soothing voice ever! She makes a point to know her students by name and support their practice throughout class. All of the instructors are excellent!
The heat and the classes
Great workout, warm community!
the staff are always amazing and the studio is beautiful
The yoga sculpt class was challenging but I liked that the instructor offered variations for different levels. The studio was clean and lockers are available.
I appreciate how many class formats and class times are offered; it makes it easy to find a class that works for me on any given day. The instructors are Emeryville are so kind, and often greet students like they're friends which creates a community feel.

The variety in classes and instructors.
