Corepower yoga1/7/2024 There are two studios at this location, each with a mirror that may help with form correction, but which can also be a bit jarring the first few times. Who has room in their gym bag for a damn full-sized towel? On the apparel side, CorePower excels, featuring clothing from lululemon, Spiritual Gangster, Alo Yoga, and Beyond Yoga. Anytime we need to BYO, we’re not happy about it. In line with others in their field, they charge $2 for a towel whether you’re using it for class or for a shower afterward. The CorePower Georgetown location also doesn’t have many locks for their locker room, so plan to bring your own or leave your stuff unattended. SPACEĪs a hot yoga studio, CorePower benefits from having four showers stocked with (bottom shelf) amenities. She opened and closed class with a short reading which also felt a bit misplaced with the high energy of the class. She oddly gave time checks when we had 7 minutes left and then 5 minutes left, and ended class with, “You’ve been in savasana for one minute,” which took us out of the moment. Her cueing was decent, but she definitely was more focused on doing the workout with us than assisting with helping us dig deeper. She successfully projected above the music (albeit by yelling), which is often an issue with CorePower. We’re still sore from that one two days later. The exception was that bitch of a seated hover where she made us sit on our heels and then lift up and hover our butts one inch over them. Unfortunately, Rebeca chose more basic moves, which left us a bit uninspired. With the variety available in a Yoga Sculpt class, the exercises to choose from are endless. Rebeca taught a fine class and we appreciated her high energy at 6am. We’ve never seen something like this happen before and the cool breeze for 30 seconds was not our ideal end of class. Right as we began to transition into the stretching cool down portion of class, two-thirds of the class just packed up and left. While the 95 degree room and ample sweating made us feel like we got a good sweat in, in reality we were a bit bored and didn’t feel like we were worked that hard. The class felt like barre meets intro weight lifting but with way lighter weights and much less variety. While we did move through a few Vinyasas between the static weight lifting, for the most part, we just did one exercise with a few pulses and holds in each song. There was a bicep song, a tri/back song, two squat songs, a push-up song, a cardio song, a core song, two bicep curl-lunge songs, and some burpees at the end. After our very quick “flow,” the remainder of the class was broken up by body part. One round of Sun A and one of Sun B with weights does not a yoga class make. Yoga sculpt should really not be called “yoga” anything. Ample showers and rentable mats and towels make CorePower the perfect studio for the busy professional. With classes that are all yoga and others that include some weighted strength training exercises, CorePower lets you choose just how much you’re trying to sweat. The music will be loud, the classes will be short and you’ll feel like you got a good stretch in. CorePower Georgetown is a solid standby for a down and dirty hot yoga class.
