Student Testimonials

authentic yoga approach and intimate community

Great studio and instructors!

I find the CorePower experience expectedly subjective from studio to studio, whereby certain locations vibe with me more than others. I don't think that means any one studio doesn't "measure up," just I'm looking for a certain type of experience of often find at Grand Lake (and Rockridge) since they're sister locations. I would like to point out instructors like Huong Nguyen, Long, Aaron, Chris, Caitlin, and others as examples of those "making the classes their own." Huong especially shines because she clearly both taught for years and studies the practice so her classes never come across as formulaic. (For reference I predominantly take C2 Yoga classes)

While empathizing with the challenge to maintain consistency across so many studios means using a consistent teaching rubric, I need more diversity in class. The reality of every single class normally following a progression of table top to cat/cow to crescent lung to chair.............becomes terribly monotonous and not developmental for a well-rounded practice. The instructors I mention still adhere to the basics from the rubric but include numerous other cadences and poses to keep the classes dynamic, which I appreciate greatly.

I like the teachers, and the classes

Caitlin is an amazing yoga instructor! Her voice and words of wisdom refill my cup full every class I am so fortunate to be a part of. The Oakland community is lucky to have Caitlin!!!

Caitlins class is great!

Miles is always a great instructor, very thoughtful with his sequence. It's not overly complicated but just enough variation so that the class doesn't feel stagnant.

Music choices excellent.

Room is always particularly clean before class starts.

The vibe in the grand lake studio is warm and welcoming. Love all the Yoga instructors and practitioners at this studio. And I have favorite sessions I frequent taught by Miles, Peter and Caryn.
