Student Testimonials

Excellent instructors

I love the staff at the Grand Lake studio. They are genuinely warm and welcoming—a shout-out to my favourite instructors, Miles and Tiffany.

The teachers, the community, and the facilities are top notch! I've tremendously improved my fitness, balance, and inner peace with CorePower Yoga.

I LOVE Core Power. I only attend sculpt classes. I would love to see a weekend sculpt class that this site.

My only feedback is that while the heat is great it sometimes feels WAY too hot. I am wondering what the planned temperature is for sculpt vs. regular classes. Sculpt is way more aerobic and should probably not get up to almost 100 degrees. I often see people so red and sweaty I worry they will pass out. The instructors sometimes say to let them know if you are too hot but most people won't do that.

It would be great if the temperature were kept to an appropriate hotness

Great instructor. Guided class well very friendly. Great workout

Great instructor, warm sweaty class!

I like the encouragement in class with Caitlyn calling me out when I improved. She was responsive on my question. And she was very helpful when I made a purchase, even offering to save a size that I made need if I had to exchange and she also gave me her card. Loved the customer service.

I love the Grand Lake, Corepower yoga studio. Their service stands out compared to the other studios in the Oakland area. The entire staff is welcoming.!!
My favorite class is C2 Core yoga with Miles on Saturdays at 9:30 am. His choreography of the yoga poses is fluid. The music is suiting, and feeds my soul. He gives out relaxing and genuine energy. I enjoyed the extra meditation practice at the class this past Saturday. He is amazing.
I look forward to his practice.

The yoga sculpt class with Pauline on Wednesday at 6:30 am PST is another favorite of mine.

Excellent instructors

Fantastic teachers, great community, convenient location.

Great classes, fabulous teachers!

Only request is for more class options on Sat and Sun…afternoon classes would be great!

I love everything about CorePower - the instructors, the studio space, the yoga class content - poses and exercises, and the community. I usual take classes at the rockridge studio which I think is great. This was my first visit to Grand Lake. The instructor (I think his name was Sean) for my C2 class was super and parking was easier to find than I expected on Grand Ave.

Great instructors, clean studios, and wonderful vibe overall!

I love the 12pm Monday class with teacher Caitlin! It starts my week off right and she is fabulous!

I have enjoyed taking classes from Heather and Miles. Their classes are great.

I didn’t enjoy Sean’s class he was subbing for a 1 class and normally teaches level 2. So we wound up taking his 2 class. He’s a terrible instructor there were no transitions to get into poses or corrections/instructions to ensure people practicing were in poses safely. He was mostly focused on his own practice. The room was also incredibly hot for a level 1 almost 100 degrees.

Clean, great location, friendly staff

Clean studio. Some of the teachers are excellent. Good music.

Great instructor/leader!

I enjoy the support and care my manager, and fellow teachers put in to ensure students including myself have a safe, clean, inclusive environment to grow and practice our yoga!

it was very clean and staff were awesome

I loved that it was an hour long - just the right amount: not too short and not too long. I also loved that it was a vinyasa flow sequence that emphasized breathing. And I also enjoyed that the temperature was around 80 degrees - not too hot and not too cold!

Great teacher

Loved it!

Great instructor, the best!

It was my first time doing hot yoga or any yoga and I loved it! definitely will be coming back the instructor Emily was amazing! she did such an awesome job that that me as a beginner was able to keep up .

Love the classes, teachers and availability of the classes

Tiffany, the instructor was excellent. The temperature of the room was just right (not too hot). I like the location.

I love the feeling after each class. The yoga instructors are incredible, and I can't wait to continue with my practice in the months ahead

Very chill!

Teachers are awesome, but need more options throughout the week.
