Student Testimonials
The instructor Victor
Absolutely wonderful class with DeShauna. She has fantastic cues, leaves space for silence and reflection, is very inclusive and encouraging of students, has perfect pacing, effectively weaves her theme throughout class, and offers both challenge and opportunities for softness so all students can adjust the class to the right level for them. I left feeling both peaceful and invigorated.
It’s very clean!
Corepower teachers are well trained, friendly and I liked all the classes I’ve taken with them. My favorite teachers are Betsy and Jen.
This was amazing class! I would like to say one of the best that I ever taken. I liked how smoothly everything was flowing. Also directions were very clear to me, I did not feel to be rushed and able to keep up. Just loved it!
Also the location is super nice and clean. I love the large windows @ studio. It creates more free and enjoyable feeling.
Entire experience was amazing! Thank you so much!
Loved it!
Victor is great ! Love his class
Awesome teachers like Fumika and Aiki and Katie. Would like to see more core restore classes, as they are a good counter to the sculpt and yoga 2 classes. Keep up the great work! 😊
I've been taking classes at CPY Emeryville for approx 3 months. The experiences with different teachers and classes have varied, but each time a good workout, is challenging and professionally done. The studio is super clean, the atmosphere is good, staff helpful and encouraging.
I love everything about Core Power, no matter the location. You have top notch instructors and very intimate studios, unlike a small room off a large and busy gym.
I'm sad I had to cancel my membership!! I had a knee replacement surgery and need more than you 90 day max hold.
I'll be back though!!
Kismet core restore class is great! I’ve always been doing so much Vinyasa yoga that I didn’t know the healing stretching energizing balancing benefits of core restore & yin. Awesome class.
The staff are friendly and experienced. I love the yoga sculpt class. The music is usually really good. The facility is clean and well equipped.
Negeen Khandel is a gifted instructor! Her energy and passion for teaching shines through her class. This was my first yoga class and she gave tight cues that made it easy to follow along. Best instructor ever! Best class ever!!
I love the instructors, the music and classes.
Great clean enviromemt
West Berkeley has some of the best instructors in the East Bay and I appreciate the high volume of classes which allows me to always find a time to practice. My only negative feedback is that I think the bathroom--especially the sink and shower area could be cleaner. It would be great to have paper or cloth towels available by the sinks so that people could wipe up any water that gets splashed on the counter. The counter is always soaking wet and it doesn't feel the most hygienic. Thanks!
Friendly and talented instructors. Clean studios.
Clean & friendly instructors
I often practice more traditional Yoga forms in my practice, but that doesn't mean I do not enjoy CorePower. On the contrary, I love that CorePower yoga has a unique approach to Yoga. It's challenging and kind, and also fun. It's a diverse group of people and the facilities are nice as well
Great yoga!
Aiki was a wonderful teacher- really smart sequence and cueing, great tone and pace, and such lovely theming as well. Really loved this class!
I love the Sculpt and Strength classes!
Clean and convenient facility. Staff and instructors are friendly and knowledgeable.
Michael was great! Loved his class and way of teaching. Enjoyed his routine as well.
I love CPY. But there are no longer enough lunch time classes - specifically Sculpt and/or Strength.
Love the studio and I especially LOVE Sue's classes. She is totally motivating. The Friday 9am class is a tough workout and well worth it. I leave feeing accomplished and ready for the day.
I love all my teachers that I take classes with regularly they are Deshauna, Leo, Kirsten, Sophie, Wendy, Dyamen, Siobhan!!! They are the best! I can’t see myself without taking their class every week and I won’t have it any other way! The studio bathroom needs a renovation though showers are falling apart with leaking water at times , maybe a locker with soft close too. The rooms for yoga floor could use an upgrade too maybe a nice floor with a bit of cushion since we do some cardio high during sculpt class without shoes for support
Clean studio & nice instructors
Amanda's new music-centric format is a great & fresh approach.
The instructors are excellent.
We appreciate the central location - realizing it too has been plagued by the unfortunate security issues faced in the Bay Area.

I like the commitment from teachers and them being able to help struggling new yogis
