CorePower Yoga

Went to the 3:30 1.5 class. For the most part, the class was fine. My low rating is due to the fact that the instructor finished about five minutes early (it is only an hour class) and then proceeded to tell the class while in savasana to continue lying there and thinking and then she left to go to the front desk. I just don’t think a yoga instructor should leave her class early, I pay so that I get instruction for the full hour I can meditate on my own.

Discovering yoga at this studio has changed my life. I love this community and their hybrid yoga style of vinyasa+power is perfect. The instructors are so talented and committed to their journey of helping you practice safe alignment. They want you to leave with the best experience possible and it shows. Great place for beginners! Great place for all levels too.

My favorite yoga studio in the world! I’ve been taking classes here for almost 4 years. The instructors are friendly and professional and the entire facility is clean and well maintained. HPF is an amazing class. Keep up the great work!

Absolutely love this studio! I was a member 4 years ago and recently returned after moving back into town. I was so happy to find many of the same instructors that I loved from my previous experience. The staff and instructors here are wonderful and I would highly recommend CorePower Encinitas to anyone looking for hot yoga at a super nice and clean studio in the area!

I’d love to rave about the yoga and the experience/​knowledge/​next level shit that the instructors offer in class but hey, let’s get real, this is corporate yoga. 5 minutes late to class because of traffic, car trouble, life in general? Oh I’m sorry, you’re not allowed. One minute late and a new student? Nope, sorry, better luck next time
It’s this type of bullshit globo-​gym-​yoga that is ruining it for everyone. YOGA = UNITY. Where’s the unity when denying a student, seasoned or novice, at 3 minutes past the class start time due to «company policy»?
F*ck you Core-porate-liars…oh, and, Namaste mother f^ckers.

I just started taking yoga and like the variety of the classes and the different teachers with CorePower. They keep the place clean. What I have a hard time with is you really don’t know what you’re going to get with each class in regards to difficulty. I took one sculpt class and almost passed out and then was told to take one with another teacher that was less rigorous. It was not as difficult but how am I supposed to know which teachers do what? I looked on the website and it had photos of the teachers but no information on their style of difficulty.

Great instructors here with great music selection. They offer a variety of classes too for all levels. I prefer the C2 as it offers be perfect level of challenge and allows for more creativity from the instructors.

I have fallen in love with CorePower Encinitas!
Which is hard to do, as my true heart already lies with another yoga studio, but this is in my top 2! (I will forgo the name as that’s ruuudeeee but if you see my other reviews you might know which I’m talking about).
I honestly have seen, heard of it and passed by it many times! But I’ve always been thrown off due to the area in which its in– an office building. That goes to say do not judge a book by its cover! If it wasn’t for my coworker who raved about this spot, I never would have thought about even checking it out and on my mission to research my chakras and the yoga they offered, I was sold on trying it knowing that they offered you a free week! Yes, a free week!
I literally had nothing to lose. So far, I’ve only taken the yoga sculpt class with Nichole on Tuesday and Blair on Thursday and both were amazing instructors, equally kicking my butt and giving me a total body workout. Nichole was spot
On with her routine and I loved how she switched things up a bit and Blair has an amazing calm energy that pushes you and relaxes you at quite the same time.
The studio is beautiful, locker rooms grand and this is the first studio that I see with a men and women’s alike. They have two studios and their power playlist by far I think is what got me so hooked. The music and bass playing as you’re moving through your vinyasa does wonders! I could feel the energy through my body as I worked out.
5 stars. Such a motivating and inspiring environment.

Although, I have taken classes at the Ecinitas location before, and BTW they were stellar. My last tour through there was anything but that. The class was not taught to the description offered on their web site, which stated that it was a level 2, including arm balances. It was at best a beginning class, that happened to include 1 arm balance – the crow.
I’ve got a lot of time in doing yoga – over 40 years, and have taken classes throughout the world, including when I lived in Nepal and India, and have taught yoga as well. So when it comes to understanding how classes need to conducted, I have a bit to say. If you’re at the beginning level and are interested in testing the waters to go on in your practice, this would be a good gateway class. However, if you’re looking for a true level 2 class – look else where.

I love CPY, but this location is probably their worst one in SD county. Not only can the instructors be down right rude, as many people have already stated, the classes, music, heat, cleanliness and overall CPY atmosphere is slacking. There are some great instructors, but good luck finding a class they teach consistently throughout the week.

As is with all CorePower studios, the class was fun, challenging and energetic. The studios are always clean and the staff is wonderful.

I absolutely love this studio! Everyone including fellow students are very friendly, welcoming, and polite. The location is very clean. There is a parking lot next to the building you can park in but it can get tight if you want to park right next to the front door. I’m not concerned about that so I think parking is great here. The locker room is a good size with a few showers. There is spray deodorant, q-​tips, tampons, lotion and mouthwash you can use in the bathroom (womens one at least lol) next to the sink which I think is a nice touch to the locker rooms.
The classes and instructors are amazing. I always take the hot power fusion or the heated power classes. I tried taking the class with the weights and it was a little too much for me. I sweat a lot and I feel like I’m going to let a dumbbell slip out of my hands so for my safety and the safety of others I stick to the other classes lol. I always feel like a million bucks when I leave from yoga here. I also really like the classes where the instructor will use some sort of aromatherapy spray or oil towards the end. I really feel like this is value add and wish all the instructors did it. I have tried doing yoga at other places just to see how they are and I always think man I wish I spent that time at corepower instead. Best work out ever here, especially at this location!

I love yoga and jumped on the chance to try out a new studio — I am currently taking advantage of the 1^st week free promotion that is posting on their website. I have a few friends who have done the teacher training program through Core Power as well so I thought I might as well check it out and see what’s it’s all about.
The only reason I give CPY a 4-​star rating is because the company is corporate and this reasonates through the building — it just has that corporate feel to it and not the yoga studio feel I was hoping to get.
Overall, the staff is friendly and helpful and signing up for my 1^st week was easy and painless. The studio and reception area are clean and organized.
So far I have only done Core Power Yoga 1 and 2 classes which were a lot of fun and the instructors were fun and helpful. CPY1 is a non-​heated class (the room is about 80 – 82 degrees F) but I definitely worked up quite the sweat. CPY2 was heated (around 90 – 92 degrees F) and definitely a lot more intense than CPY1. It was a great workout and I really enjoyed everything about it. I plan on attending Core Power Yoga Sculpt (my favorite type of yoga class!) and Hot Yoga Fusion this weekend before my 1^st week trial is up.
I am considering and looking for a yoga teacher training program to start attending once I come back from Europe so this is a strong contender and I am looking forward to speaking w/​someone about starting in October so I can pursue this dream of mine.

Loved this place. Class was always great. Sad I moved away!

Yesterday they would not let me come to class because I was 6 minutes late. After 5 minutes they said they lock the door. On a Friday, coming from Carlsbad I hit traffic even though I left 30 min before. I couldn’t go to a later class because I had to pick up my kids from school in 90 min. I was really surprised because it is not really a spiritual yoga studio. Also, Tropics would have never done that. If someone comes in late there, they will move their mat over and let you squeeze in. I didn’t get my yoga in yesterday and they left me with a bad feeling. I have never been a fan of «nazi yoga» tactics.
One thing about CP is you will get a decent workout for your whole body. If you are looking to get a «yoga butt», you can achieve that here in a reasonable amount of time. Although if you are looking for a warm yoga community, this does not have the «family vibe».

I love corePower yoga but this location is awesome.
The studios are super big, you don’t need to struggle for an area to put your mat.
I love how everything is placed.
Really recommend this location.

If you’re looking for a bit more than meditative yoga, this is the place to go. Prepare to get a nice workout while still enjoying the other benefits of yoga. Great teachers and management!

My swim team and I are training to swim the English Channel in June. In addition to our open-​ocean-​no-​fins-​or-​wetsuit training, we have been participating in HPF at core power to build up our strength and ability to stay focused, calm and meditative. The staff are INCREDIBLY kind and I love when they adjust my postures. I feel that in class they make every attempt to make the practice personal to yourself. I really feel welcome and overall great when I enter that room! :)

One of my favorite studios. Very cool place to relax before and after class. Julia and Cici, the managers are so welcoming to everyone and there relationship is too cute. It makes for a comfortable place to socialize with people that love yoga just as much as me. This studio offers all types of yoga, and a free week. See you around Namaste!

CorePower has convenient locations extremely well trained instructors.
I originally signed up for CorePower October of last year, through a Groupon. I originally frequented the Hillcrest and Northpark locations, and then I moved back up to North County. I went to the del mar location because it was next to work, and now I go to the Encinitas location. My very lengthy point is where life moves you, there’s Probably is a CorePower nearby. Just one of the many reasons why I am a CPY faithful.
The Encinitas Studio is one of my favorites. It is always clean, there is plenty of locker space, and the instructors are some of the best.
If you’re even questioning checking this place out, just do it! See what the buzz is about. You get your first week free, there’s nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
