CorePower Yoga - Yoga studio in Austin - 801 W 5th St Retail Unit I, USA

Hands down the best yoga studio in the world. My wife and I love these classes, especially the 45 min yoga sculpt class. I find these classes to be a great workout for my body and mind. The thoughtful mindfulness that each of the very talented instructors inject into each class is really beautiful. This location has recently been renovated and parking can be a bit hard to find in the garage. I would recommend the street parking on 4th street, or close to Merit coffee. If all else fails, there’s always the Whole Foods up the street.

Great classes with an awesome class offering to fit whatever your schedule is for the day. Reasons I am not giving this business 5 stars: -There is only one monthly membership and with tax it is nearly $200/month. This is considered luxury in regard to fitness studios but the space itself doesn’t fit this price point (limited parking, unsanitary carpet throughout the studio, etc). -I do not recommend CorePower to any of my peers who are beginner. The instructors/staff here do not do any type of intake for new students and assume you know all things yoga when you join. It can be very intimidating. With that, staff is all young women who will gossip with coworkers at the front desk about other students while they check you in. -Lastly, this is a very corporate establishment. When you call the “studio” you actually get routed to their call center in Denver which is full of outsourced robots. If you ever have a scheduling issue or have a question for the studio they will not talk to you. This is very different than any fitness studio I have been apart of.

This yoga studio is very bad for classes. I agree with the other one-star reviews. The "yoga instructors" at this locale bark orders with little to no regard for pose correction. Every yoga pose has been performed for less than 10 seconds. As a result, This studio offers the strange hip fab yoga that other corporate studios offer. I rate the experience of the yoga studio as comparable to a YogaSix or Serasana. The studio feels a bit strange because they employed an all female staff. I watched during registration as a man tried to bargain for more classes added to his Yoga pack. I give two stars to the studio because the restrooms are clean and the studio is clean. However, the classes are low-performing to bad. If you are a true Yoga performer, you will perform better watching yoga videos compared to a membership at CorePower Yoga. Many female members felt the instructors are Gods at this location.

Both locations have incredible teachers and very high quality yoga. I have never had anything other than a wonderful experience at this studio, and have taken 100+ classes. My favorite teachers are Karin, Joel and Julia, but everyone is so good…you can’t go wrong!

Location is the best, right next to my building. Very satisfied with the classes and instructors. They have a good flow in C2 and a mix of weights and yoga flow in sculpt. However they could include some breathwork in their classes and could also probably give you better mats which are not slippery coz of the sweat!

Once you get over the initial shock of drinking your own sweat while in any inversion, it's fab. Great instructors, lovely workouts with c2 :) I only wish we had some of the other classes such as meditation offered. Maybe more candlelight evening classes than just late Wednesday nights.

Dropped by here while traveling. They've got these upgraded mats that I don't really need a yoga towel for, which is great, considering I had to leave mine at home so I could travel light! My instructor (Monique) was fantastic, which a lovely personality, along with funny commentary and efficient yoga instructions. And live-singing some soprano, harmonizing with the music during the final bit. Room could have been a tad bit more warm but I still sweated like crazy. Bathrooms: Lockers and showers were good. A bit cramped. Need to bring a lock or borrow one from front desk.

Its a great space that is clean the shower and locker room is nice. The classes are an ashtanga style with an upbeat music. I love being able to come in and sweat be challenged and have a good mindset for the day. The multiple class times are very useful to me because my schedule is different everyday. I look forward to more instructors so they can include more classes.
