I took the Saturday 9:30am yoga sculpt class. Haley, the instructor was so motivating and inspiring!!! She uplifted the entire class. I would definitely take Haley's class again.
This was my first class ever. I felt welcomed right away, everyone was very friendly. The instructor Tracy McKay maintained the class with great energy and instruction. It was a very positive experience. I will definitely be back for her classes.
Most of the instructors are great. There are a few that need to leave! Dillon from River North Chicago is an excellent instructor. He should be a mentor to ALL.

The facility itself is very nice, which is the only reason I'm giving two stars rather than just one. The person who checked me in (and later turned out to be the instructor of the class) was rude from the outset. This was my first time at any CorePower studio and the registration process is annoying because it's all on an unresponsive touch screen and there's a lot to fill out. While I was completing it she made a comment in a derisive tone, but I'm generally nonchalant and let it go.
Let me also make the disclaimer that I am not even a novice yogi. I've done it maybe a handful of times. However, I am very fit and tried my best to do all of the poses and keep up with the class, but I don't know all of the names of each pose so needed help from my friend or by observing others. Several times she made comments not to do this. Then she attempted to help me, which was appreciated, but in a very brusque manner, and the entire time her tone was very condescending. Towards the end there was a pose that apparently I could just not do, despite trying very hard to do so, and she singled me out and loudly told me just to lie on my back rather than tell me what I was doing wrong or how to correct it. I wasn't embarrassed because I almost never am, but it was annoying. There is no health benefit to lying on my back.
Later I spoke with another person who was in the session and asked if he'd ever had her as an instructor before and he hadn't, but he was also dismayed by the tone she took and how impatient she was with me. Every other time I've tried yoga, the instructors have been very nice, which he iterated as well. This experience did not turn me off from trying it again, but I definitely won't be doing it at CorePower.

I enjoyed the three different classes I have taken thus far:Ashley in the Corepower Yoga 2 Class was performed in a heated studio which felt nice to get a good sweat in. She kept a quick pace and helped in releasing lots of tension from within my body. After the class was over, I felt as if I had a good overall workout. Frank in the Corepower Yoga 1 Class was also performed in a heated room. He did an awesome job by leading me through a variety of poses to help strengthen & stretch out my back and overall body. Kally in Core-Restorative Yoga: Candlelight was set with a relax mood. She did a good job in making sure my poses were correct. Such a great class since it helped me to focus in on my breathing and be able recognize how shallow my breaths were and where the tension was held mostly within my body. When I left the class I felt physically relaxed, clear minded, and more grounded. I highly recommend Corepower Yoga. Their heated yoga classes felt nice to practice in, especially as it begins to feel colder outside! Also, having taken a variety of classes gave me an overall workout and I was also able to focus in on restoring my body from everyday stress and tension.
Hi, I'm on day 3 of the week trial. Thank you. I took a class with Ashley, Frank and Kalli. They all helped in their own ways. The two facilities we're familiar. My partner suggested that I not focus on the financial situation or outcome for now. So with this in mind, why would I not tell everyone that they should try a week of free yoga at corepower yoga!

Definitely my favorite yoga option in Chicago (and when I travel). I've been doing yoga for years and they always have high quality instructors, and the class options at all hours of the day is huge compared to other studios. Bonus points for having live music sometimes

I love every one of my core power workouts! The mind- body connection helps my whole body during and after class! I always look forward to classes and new tips from all the different teachers!
Great intro week rate.
Great classes.
Friendly staff.
Clean facility.
Great Yoga studio. Having visited many studios in many different countries, CoreYoga offered a great blend of modern yoga styles and music. Ma, the instructor, was brilliant in putting together a great session by mentally and physically. The premises offers good facilities/amenities with a good retail offering. Highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed.
This place is extremely inconsiderate of the quiet day spa below them. Their classes consists of loud club music that can be heard below and lots of stomping on the ground that disturbs the clients that are trying to get a relaxing massage. So much for a peaceful atmosphere. CPY misses the mark on what yoga is suppose to be.
CorePower yoga is the most corporate yoga studio I've ever been to. The yoga is very sub-par however, it's many locations around the city make it highly convenient if you're a yoga fanatic. The best teacher I've ever had there is Saren who teaches Sunday nights at the Gold Coast location. Otherwise, I think the teachers are pretty interchangeable and the classes tend to be very similar.
