Thank you Malia! Great class.

Great studio and class, the room felt great! I look forward to making this studio part of my trips to San Diego
Remodel is great!
However, the capability to dim lights are missed. Also, the room does not get very hot.
My first class and the teacher was super good and nice a little fast with the movements though
Great flow. Right temp in the room. Sydney should teach more classes.
Clara was amazing!
Lani is THE BEST!!!

Ryan's playlist always makes the class better! He is such a great instructor, and he always goes the extra mile to tie his playlist selections to the class theme.

Great class great teacher it works
I genuinely love CorePower Yoga—the consistency, the variety of classes, and the quality of the workouts are why I keep coming back. It’s one of the few places where I know I’ll get a strong, reliable experience across locations and instructors.
That said, there’s one issue that’s become hard to ignore: the music volume in Sculpt classes.
At times, it’s simply too loud—so loud that it becomes physically uncomfortable and genuinely distracting. I’ve now had to leave class early more than once because of it, which is frustrating given how much I enjoy the workout itself.
It’s not just the volume—it’s also how the music is being used. During more complex or instruction-heavy sequences, the combination of:
extremely high volume
songs with heavy lyrics
and instructors needing to raise their voices to be heard
creates a kind of sensory overload. Your brain is being pulled in multiple directions—trying to follow cues, process layered movements, and filter out lyrics that compete with the teacher’s voice. In a heated room, especially, that level of stimulation can cross from energizing into overwhelming.
Music can absolutely elevate a class. When it’s used intentionally—instrumental, well-paced, and balanced with instruction—it enhances focus and flow. But when it’s consistently cranked at maximum volume, especially with lyric-heavy tracks, it can actually take away from the experience rather than support it.
I’ve even started bringing earplugs just in case, which feels like a workaround for something that could be addressed more directly through instructor awareness and studio standards. It also seems like there should be some consideration around safe decibel levels in an enclosed, heated environment.
To be clear—this isn’t every instructor. There are teachers who manage music beautifully, and the difference is noticeable. But often enough, it feels like music management is inconsistent, and that inconsistency impacts the overall experience.
I’m sharing this because I care about the space and want to keep coming back. With just a bit more attention to how music is used—especially in Sculpt—this could easily go from a great experience to an exceptional one.
Great teachers and vibe
Incredible instructors and staff, tons of classes and it’s nice and clean!
It’s a great workout.
