  I’ve been attending the 3 Valley location yoga studios for over 3 years and truly appreciate the instructors, community, and overall vibe. One of the main reasons I initially joined was the flexibility and variety in the class schedule. However, I’ve noticed a consistent gap in the mid-day schedule—most classes end around noon and don’t pick up again until after 3pm. It would be incredibly helpful to add more mid-day classes, specifically around 1:00pm, 1:30pm, or at least one 2:00pm class. This time frame would be ideal for those of us with flexible schedules or who work non-traditional hours. All three Valley locations seem to have this same gap, so adding even one or two classes during that window could really make a difference. Thank you for taking the time to consider this suggestion!

  I am a yoga lover and dedicated to the practice. I do love core power yoga in general. I think they have found a way to really bridge the craving that californian's have for excercise and still infuse some of the basic yoga principles. BUT - there are some teachers at core power yoga that are "wanna" be yogis. I realize they encourage EVERYBODY to take teacher training courses there - but i am hoping that core power yoga encourage more yoga philosophies and principles in their teachers. I was very very offended by a teacher there whose choice of music was just too loud. I realize some teachers are in the mood to play loud pop, rap or hip hop music - but if the music is too loud and an individual can't hear their own breathe then it is not yoga - not once did this teacher TELL THE CLASS TO FOCUS ON THE BREATH. Part of yoga is group vibration and meditation and a collective conciousnesss through the breath. I think some people in California just need a job and go for becomiing a yoga teacher. My advice to the CORE POWER YOGA COMPANY is to remember that it is yoga you are teaching - it is not a gym......I AM NOT LOOKING TO GO TO CORE POWER YOGA to get the feeling of a gym. I was very offended by my teacher who looked at me as if I didn't know what i was talking about - she actually suggested i wear earplugs to my class. In my opinion that teacher should be dismissed by CORE POWER YOGA. SHE IS OBVIOUSLY not a true yogi. In terms of music selection - there is all kinds of evidence that there are certain tones in music that trigger deeper meditation and help with certain glands - specifically the third eye. I am not saying every teacher at core power yoga should always play that type of music - but i think with the teachers training course there must be more emphasis on THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT KIND OF MUSIC TO PLAY in the yoga class. I personally dont' like music when i do yoga - but if a teacher is going to play it please pick the music wisely.
