CorePower Yoga

This place is simply the Best yoga I have ever taken!!! It will push you to work harder in a very comfortable way, if that really makes sense. I first came here on my birthday in Dec of 2015. And I have been hooked every since!!! I workout a lot so with classes all though out the and day 7 days a week, its very super convenient for me. who has ever heard of a class being taught 7pm on a Sunday!!! That’s dedication to the members of corepower yoga! Thanks corepower yoga!!!

So glad I tried their free week :) Their staff is super friendly, the studio is always clean, and I love the upbeat classes. They offer plenty of storage for your things like cubbies in the front for convenience or you may store your belongings using the lockers in spotless dressing rooms. They have a variety of classes wether you are a beginner or are looking for something new, I also like that the instructors will help with the postures during the class and they make themselves available to answer any questions after class. I love the sculpt classes these really get your heart pumping and it kicked my butt. They offer classes all throughout the day back to back making it easy to fit into anyones schedule. Happy I found this place but now I have to find a new location when I move to North County :(hopefully the staff and service is just as great there as it is here.

I was in town from Orange County and took three sculpt classes (that were completely full) over this holiday weekend and loved all three different teachers. My only complaint is that I didn’t feel like the room was heated at all. It was warm, but not heated like it’s supposed to be, which significantly changes the dynamic of the workout. At first I thought it was the first teacher/​class, but I found myself in the same situation throughout the weekend. I don’t know if it’s a studio thing or if the heat wasn’t turned up all the way, but my legs were cool to the touch by the end of class last night and that shouldn’t be the case. Other than that, I really enjoyed the classes, but will probably go to another SD location next time I’m in town due to the consistent lack of heat in the classes.

The La Mesa studio is my home-​base, and several of the teachers there are former dancers and/​or have degrees in anatomy and/​or nutrition, which really enhances your practice. They also seem more mature or Zen than other studios I’ve visited, which gives the LM studio an especially peaceful vibe. The two rooms at the LM studio are medium-​sized and class sizes are never crowded. I also really love the fuss-​free parking at this studio (unlike my previous home-​base in North Park.) I have had a membership with Core Power for a couple of years now, and I highly recommend it if you do yoga on a regular basis. I’ve done yoga at no extra cost in L.A., O.C., and I’m planning to do it in S.F. next week. (How many studios that offer memberships can you say are that far-​reaching?) If I had one piece of advice for all CP instructors, it would be to seriously limit talking during shavasana, which is originally intended as an exercise to clear the mind of chatter. I’ve found a majority of instructors want to use shavasana as a platform from which to share their personal philosophies – which is great – but the beginning of class is better suited for that. Overall, the CP community is lovely, unpretentious, and LM stands out (for me) as an especially inviting off-​shoot.

I really like Core Power, La Mesa. I was pretty new to yoga when I came to this studio. I’ve only done the intro to yoga and the sculpt class, but I absolutely love sculpt. All the instructors I’ve had have been amazing. They do a great job at catering the class to all fitness levels.
The only reason I give them 4 stars is that somehow they charged someone else’s purchases to my credit card. I had to call twice to get the purchases removed & they didn’t do anything to rectify the situation aside from removing the charges. I would’ve expectedly them to at least give me a store credit for the amount they wrongfully charged or a free class. Ah well, I guess if it were to happen again I’ll go elsewhere.

Let’s start off I’ve been taking core power yoga off and on for about 2 years now. I still enjoy it. I prefer doing yoga in the heat, heat meaning 95 to 105 degree, I feel it helps mentally and physically challenges your core strength, balance, helps detoxify all bad toxins in your body and top it off, your fully drenched with sweat burning about 500 calories. Who doesn’t want that? But anyway I prefer certain instructors for all locations, personally I would recommend hot yoga, c2 heated yoga, or hot power fusion. If you are seeking to dive more deeper into postures that will help transition Or shift into a different change in your body which leaves oneself to be more mindful to apply outside in your day to day life. I encourage you to, Check it out! Trust you do get results from it. Either do first free week or purchase the groupon deal. Before actually enrolling into a membership. Exciting benefits of all challenging postures each instructor teaches in the practice one chooses to attend. Instructors are there for support and will assist with alignment on postures that can be difficult. For this location, recommend attending Melinda class. She mixes it up. Although laurel just started in this location who’s the Ast. Mgr (I’m her number one fan! Totally Joking), Laurel rocks, why? because she really encourages you to challenge on seeing how far you are willing to advance into the postures. That it’s ok that it’s not perfect, nobody is seeking perfection in hour of practice, but least you are trying, taking little steps to get there, and she can sing her way in last 5 mins of practice to release and rejuvenate yourself in savasana. Only thing as con that housekeeping is not as friendly they should smile and extend there customer service, clean studio more, it decent clean environment, but it can improve on that area and spray a nice refresher for next class. Try core power, it’s worth it, pricey yes, but look out for deals, do free week, or there are membership specials just ask.

Love this studio for core power yoga! I come here for the sculpt workouts and always leave sweating and feeling more well balanced. The instructors are great and rotate pretty much between all the core power locations down south. They are always so energetic! Plenty of parking and large studio at this location so you don’t feel like you’re on top of one another while trying to get into your downward dog pose. I have the pay per class membership and I like that you can go to any corepower location if you find a class you want at a time you want!

cant get enough of this place! I started with 7day free trail. and went every single day! so far i’ve seen a HUGE difference in my body awareness. have taken every class and my all time favorite is YOGA SCULPT! its just pure awesomeness! all the instructors are great!

I am typically skeptical of yoga chains as they normally offer a watered down, more athletic, less spiritual version of yoga. I was pleasantly surprised that my Summer Solstice class with Melinda B was everything I needed. She offered some words at the beginning of class to remind students of what there is to gain during the changing of the seasons. There was plenty of time to settle into the space and set an intention. The sequence was challenging and Melinda offered variations for beginners to advanced students. There is a great locker room/​changing area with several showers and toiletries for use. All around loved this place and would recommend it to others.

I’ve been going to this CP studio exclusively (with the rare exception) for well over a year and can’t say enough good things about them. The studio is run great, and I love all the people that work there.
To copy a bit from my review of the Mission Valley studio, as the same things apply here —
When I say that these two to three hours are the best part of my Monday through Friday, that is not an exaggeration.
I don’t like to work out inside, and will not go to a gym — preferring biking or hiking and the like. But coming here for practice is nothing like going to a gross gym and just overall makes me feel better. Less stressed, stronger, more flexible and happier.
FWIW, we’re half way between this one and the one in Mission Valley and it’s WAY easier to get there and back as well.

I’ve never tried yoga before but I thought I would give it a shot. I was very nervous going in, I decided to try the week free special to see if this was even something I could do. For my first time I went to the beginners class and I loved it. I left feeling so good and woke up with that great sore feeling after you’ve had a good workout.
I thought the instructor Melinda was fantastic. Although it was a beginner’s class it seemed like most people there knew what they were doing, she still took the time to explain and show the different positions for those that didn’t know. She also walked around the class and helped with positioning when people were a little off which was great since I’d rather be doing it correctly. I’m going to take full advantage of this free week and will absolutely be buying the membership, it felt too good not to.

I’ve wanted to get back into yoga for the last decade, after doing a series of power yoga classes long ago and my back being in the best health ever. But my workouts for the past 12 years have gravitated towards strength and cardio and I was worried that yoga wouldn’t keep me in shape – not to mention the intimidation factor of being in a class with a bunch of yoga experts while I wobble around trying to acclimate. And paying considerably more than my gym membership to do so.
But a couple of months back I found a Groupon special and bit the bullet. Best decision ever. Each one of the instructors – especially Dani and Susi – exhibit a love for yoga, genuine transparency, warmth towards participants, challenge members towards excellence, and yet never demean or intimidate the beginner or intermediates. The workouts are fantastic, and you’ll definitely work up a sweat no matter what your level – and it definitely runs the gamut from novice to pro.
The studio and locker room are clean and inviting, they have a terrific selection of yoga wear and accessories, and there’s ample parking. But more importantly, when you leave you feel like you’ve done something great for yourself, and you have more appreciation for those around you. WELL worth it.

I started with this CorePower location almost a year ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Everyone has always been so helpful and encouraging. When I started I knew nothing about yoga but every instructor was so helpful and so supportive. Although I gotta say that Josie is the superstar here. Her energy is just so positively amazing, i just love her! Even though i moved I still continue to drive out of my way to take her HPF classes. Either way you can’t go wrong with this company or this location :)

Fantastic Corepower studio! I have been practicing Corepower (on and off) for the past five years and love it more and more every time! I used to practice at the PB studio and the Point Loma studio, but this new location is perfect! It’s actually easy to get to and there is plenty of parking without the hassle of crazy traffic and congested roads. The studio classes are usually a bit smaller here, which I love. The instructors that I’ve had are all amazing! But, I have to just say that I personally love Tanya, Josie, and Colleen! These ladies are knowledgeable and have an obvious passion for yoga and teaching the students! I have earned so much from each of them in such a short time! Thanks ladies! Also, this studio is super clean and love the layout. Hope to practice with you… namaste

This might be the best CPY location because it’s not over crowded. It’s well maintained and they have my favorite teAchers. They are so considerate and personal and they make an effort to get know your name. It’s the cheers of yoga :)

I love this location! It’s one of the newer ones and it has a parking lot!!! Not a big one, but a parking lot none the less. There’s not as much foot traffic like Mission Valley or North Park which is why I appreciate this one. I can always get my parking and my own space in the studio. To be fair, I’ve only been to morning classes, so it’s not super busy. I can’t tell you how busy it is in the evenings. The facility is always super clean, well stocked with all your needs, and the staff is very friendly. Make sure share your practice here. You won’t regret it! Namaste.

I LOVE the new Corepower La Mesa! I live in Santee and finally I don’t have to drive 25 minutes to go to a yoga class. This studio is like the other ones I have been to, very clean a good variety of classes and teachers. Two of my favorite teachers are here, Paige and Catrina if you want a unique flow with great energy and awesome adjustments try their C2s. I am not giving them 5 stars because 4:30 is a perfect class time for me but I am not a Hot Power Fusion girl. I wish they would alternate classes in that time slot.

I was soooo excited to learn that a CorePower Yoga studio opened near my new house. I have not practiced yoga in YEARS because I have not lived near any decent, convenient studios.
However, and a huge disclaimer here — I am more of a yoga purist, and so far I have been disappointed with the types of classes offered here. IMHO, these are not true yoga. I did not find the Level 2 class as challenging as I thought it would be, though I sweated my ass off. The Sculpt class is more like boot camp with some downward facing dogs thrown in. Though, my teaches were LOVELY. I read some reviews from other studios and was not happy to learn that there is not a huge variety in classes of the same level. One of the great things about yoga is not knowing what your next class will be — it’s challenging and more interesting.
If you are looking for a true and authentic yoga experience, this is not the studio for you. If you are looking for yoga lite and some challenging fitness-​based classes, check it out. The studio is BEAUTIFUL, clean, etc. and the staff all seem great. It’s just not my kind of yoga…
3 stars because the studio and teachers are very nice. No more than that b/​c of the format/​style of the classes offered here.

The La Mesa Corepower was the first corepower studio I had ever been to. I took advantage of the 7-​day free pass and took a couple different classes and I loved it! All the instructors were great: friendly and knowledgable about all things yoga.
There’s plenty of parking, the studio is really clean and the locker room has clean bathrooms, showers, deodorant, hair spray and other stuff to freshen up with. There’s also lockers available to keep your stuff safe while you’re in class.
I definitely recommend corepower la Mesa. If its your first time doing yoga, like it was for me, the first class might seem a little intimidating but you’re gonna love how you feel and you’ll pick up all the moves right away.
Corepower yoga is a great workout! You’ll be sweating!

Same great branding you find at other CorePower Yoga studios; clean facility, two studios, excellent selection of yogi gear.
La Mesa CPY has plenty of parking in the parking lot adjacent to the studio but be careful on Sundays as the The Omelette Factory draws large Sunday brunch crowds which can make finding a spot more difficult.
The lobby of this CPY is on the smaller side and doesn’t quite feel has upscale as some of their other locations but it is still nice.
They offer a free week for new, local students and have a nice referral program for bringing in friends, family, etc. So grab a partner and check it out!
