I had heard about CorePower yoga a while ago and was intrigued, but since they didn't have any studios near me when I lived in Ann Arbor, I put it in the back of my mind.
That changed today when I went to a CorePower studio near me. CorePower offers a free week of classes so I decided today to go for the first time. I chose a C1 class, which is a beginner's class. The class was challenging for sure, and I love that they included the core section in the middle so that I could work out my abs a little bit right in the middle of class.
I've done yoga at a few different studios but was unable to relate to them. At a lot of yoga studios I kind of felt disconnected with the instructors - that is, I didn't really feel that I was enough of a yogi to fit in. Being so immersed in a yoga practice appeals to me a lot. I admire people who become dedicated enough to develop the necessary balance to be successful with yoga over time. Tomorrow I'm planning on taking a Yoga Sculpt class which is focused even more on incorporating strengthening moves throughout the practice, which I'm really excited for.
For a summer I was regularly going to Pure Barre classes almost every day, and CorePower reminded me a lot of that studio for all of the best reasons. The studio was clean and bright, and the instructor (who also happened to be a studio manager!) was really friendly.
I'm definitely impressed. I'm setting a goal for myself to go to a class for each of the 7 days of the free trial. I feel like yoga is exactly what I need right now. My life feels so uncertain right now (being between jobs, transitioning a relationship into a long-distance stage, moving to a new city... the list is endless) and yoga is all about balance and groundedness. So basically, just what the doctor ordered.
