Corepower Yoga

Fans of Hot yoga and Power yoga will gravitate toward Corepower Yoga. The center’s philosophy is that “flatline” after a certain point, and yoga practice, especially Corepower yoga, stimulates the mind, body and spirit once again. In addition to Hot and Power yoga, the studio has yoga sculpt sessions, which incorporate the use of weights to amp up the practice. Each center often hosts nutritional seminars and workshops, too.

Corepower Yoga has three locations in the Twin Cities:

The studio also organizes a variety of retreat workshops to help members expand their practice. Most classes are held at the studio location of 810 West 31st St., Minneapolis, MN (612) 824-0278.
