Awesome classes, friendly professional teachers, clean new studio, and lots of extras; this is a great place to come for yoga whether relaxation or to workout. I attended the Kahala last Sunday with a friend and started my free week of classes. I had no idea by today I'd be hooked and sign up for a black tag membership. Since this was my first week, all the classes were free. They are open every day of the week, with class times all day. Most classes run one hour, but the rooms are available to stretch before and stay after to cool down and meditate. There are many teachers and each brings a different energy and pace to the classes. I can't wait to try more and figure out which are my favorite (I've so far enjoyed HPF and C3 the best). This facility is brand new. It's super clean and nicely developed. There are shoe cubbies at the door. The men's room is well designed and comfortable. There are multiple showers and lockers (bring your own lock or rent one). Shampoo, body wash, conditioner, q-tips, tissues, etc., are all provided as are bags for your sweaty clothes after class. A store is available for all your yoga accessories. I also love the drinking fountains with water-bottle filling stations. Rates are affordable and many packages are available. I opted for the black tag unlimited membership, which comes to less than $10/class if you average 3x a week. Ask about discounts for many things, and make sure to take advantage of the free week to make sure you like the school. It's a convenient location, right around the corner from TJMaxx and Nordstrom Rack at Ward, free parking is plentiful as are bus stops. read more

I have a soft spot for CorePower Yoga's Kahala location, but I decided to give this brand spankin' new location a try. Majority of their amazing instructors now teach at both locations, and there are TWO rooms, so you won't be missing out any beautiful yoga flows. But I am sad that my fave instructors don't teach at the times I like to workout anymore. Also, it's not as convenient to double up on classes since there's more time between them (30-60minutes). On the plus side, savasanas can be that long if you choose! The locker rooms have lockers, 2 sinks, 2 toilets and 4 showers. A very nice thing if you're planning on doing some shopping & dining at Ward. Parking...7 floors! But skip the lower floors and go straight up to fourth or fifth; it'll save you some time waiting for a stall or for cars backing up to get into those stalls. Fortunately, the elevators are relatively quick because you'll be walking ALL THE WAY AROUND the building to the outer edge facing Tango. There's also stairs, if you'd like to get in an extra butt workout! At its core (no pun intended), CorePower Yoga Ward provides great yoga classes, including yoga sculpt, but I think I'll be sticking with Kahala. read more

CorePower Yoga - Ward - Yoga Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Extremely dumbed down yoga. It shouldn't even be called yoga. Who the hell said yoga is done with weights? No karma, no jnana, no bhakti. Just pilates beauty queens spouting Wayne Dyer instead of meaningful instruction. If I wanted self help, I'd see a shrink. A shrink older than 22 for that matter. Overheard one teacher wanting to be better than the lead teacher. Yoga isn't some competition. Look what happened to Bikram. I heard teachers here are required to be part of Yoga Alliance, one of the biggest scams next to MLM. If you are dumb enough to fall for that outfit, I certainly don't want to hear your take on how I should live my life. Playlists in yoga? No pratyahara here. Just more noise. Like the stuff you think you are trying to get away from in going to a yoga class. Pricey as all hell. Who in their right mind would pay $20 bucks for an hour of crappy instruction with a crappy playlist? I would recommend trying for a week for free, then leaving this place in the dust without giving a penny. Quite deserving for this McDonaldization of a sacred practice. read more

Parking is convenient if you practice in the morning, before the retail shops open. However you also run into a crowd of members trying to catch quick class before going to work. Don't bother trying to shower after class. Just go home or go to the beach. Mid-day classes are busy but at least you're not swept away by the office-jockeys. Add 10 mins to your commute so you can find parking and arrive on-time. Afternoon classes are survival of the fittest. Add 20 mins to your commute so you can find parking (do you see a theme?) AND get a locker AND get mat space in either studios. Instructors are mediocre and definitely cater to their locals/regulars. Nice enough, but don't expect too much Aloha. For the life in me, I don't understand why this location is so filthy. They've only been around for three years (at the time of this post) but I've been to other CPY studios who are much older and still keep the place sanitary. read more

I've been going to CorePower for about 3 months off and on and I have loved this studio! The instructors are very good when it comes to breathing techniques and overall cues and if you are new to yoga I would recommend Kimberly's Sunday night classes because they are usually less busy and she really takes the time to teach you different movements and expand your practice. One thing I appreciate about this location is the easy parking along with the membership options. It is very pricey but if you are looking to go at least 2-3 times per week I would recommend the all access because it allows you to take virtual and in studio classes. The membership is also good nationwide which is good if you travel often. If you are not looking to fully commit to a membership you can also attend the classes through ClassPass! They also are adding new strength classes as well you combine yoga and strength training. The strengthX classes have a specific muscle group that they target each workout so you can go 4-5 days a week and get you strength training, yoga practice, and sauna session all done within 45 minutes. These classes are much harder then the cardio sculpt ones so just be careful if you have a hard time in cardio sculpt. read more

CorePower Yoga - Ward - New strength classes!! - Yoga Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I did my first yoga class in Hawaii and loved it! I was anxious because I was in a harder class than planned and the instructor Cleo T was patient and knowledgeable. He focused on everyone in the class and made me feel confident when I was unsure what to do at times. After class he provided guidance which classes would benefit me. I would definitely recommend this business to anyone who is beginner or advanced in yoga! Cleo was an amazing instructor and the business was clean, organized and had a great selection of items to purchase. I'm signing up for core power yoga when I go back to Northern California! read more

I can see how people can get addicted to this. I would too if I lived closer to a CorePower location. As a first timer, I took advantage of the free one week promotion and attended the C2 class with Kelly. The C2 class is heated to 95-98 degrees with added humidity and lists yoga experience as a plus. I'm definitely not an expert, but I've been practicing yoga for about 3 years now and it definitely helped me keep up in class. Yet, I still found it challenging. I loved the energy in the class and Kelly is a great instructor. I liked that she gave you the option to receive help or decline. What also impressed me was the large and clean facilities. They have showers, lockers (bring a lock), and multi bathroom stalls. The studio is located on the side of the TJ Maxx building and you can conveniently park in the structure. If you forget your mat and towel, you can rent them. They also sell bottled water as well as yoga clothing and accessories. CorePower, please come to Mililani! read more

I. Love. Yoga. This has been one of the best things that has ever happened to my mind, body, and spirit. If you have never been to yoga, this is the place you should start. The best part is that your first week of (unlimited) Yoga is FREE. CorePower has the widest range of classes every hour on the hour. Classes are as early as 6 a.m. all the way to Candlelight at 7 or maybe 8. CorePower is mostly known for having hot yoga as well as playing music throughout the class. The instructors are all very young, upbeat, and insightful. At the beginning of every class, they guide you to set your intention as well as a theme for each session. Some instructors guide you through a series if you visit them consistently and you can find the schedule online at their website. They also offer you adjustments which I love. Not only do they help you find your form but they help you go deeper into your stretches. From sitting at my job so much, my back tends to ache and I stretch it out at yoga. I remember saying how much I wasn't that into one instructor until he pushed down my back in the best way possible and I took the deepest inhale and exhaled every. single. problem. Yoga is absolutely life changing. If you're a yogi and can not get enough of yoga and want it to be part of your lifestyle. That black tag membership is 100% worth it. It may be pricey but looking at the cost of each class at $25 you just need to go to yoga 1-2 a week and it's worth it. They also offer half price for first time members so you can experience what it would be like to have access to unlimited yoga for a month. Totally sold me. read more

I love this place... Every one is rediculously friendly... Ive never been to any other yoga, but I know I like Core Power. I been to Kahala also... equally awesome. Adjustments during poses even during the free trial. I can feel myself being able to flex more,breath deeper. If I had the time and strength i take a class every day. read more

CorePower Yoga - Ward - Sweaty towel and mat... Only C1... Whew - Yoga Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I must confess that i was so scared to write this review because i didnt want to say I exercise and then 1 month after i would quit, kinda like when you have a boyfriend, you want to give it some time to then post it on FB and make it public... same thing.. lol I've tried a lot of different gyms but nothing worked for me except for salsa dancing, but then i had to quit dancing since i injured myself :( Anyways... long review short. *Ambience: The have 3 locations (Kailua, ward and Kahala) this review is for the one at ward, they have 2 studios inside and one of the things that kept me coming back is the cleanliness of this place! Been to some hot yoga and since people sweat, there are some weird smells coming out all the time so cleaning a place like this constantly is a huge plus! *Service: everyone is super friendly! I do yoga sculpt only and the teachers are amazing!!! Hands down to Troy, Max, Alex & Eric (my favorites!) If you get the 7 days free definitely try a class with one of them, you will be hooked up right away! *Parking: Garage parking in ward village structure, it can get crowded sometimes since its shared with other stores but i have aways been able to find a spot! Overall, i got addicted to yoga sculpt and in just 3 months i've already started to seen results! Plus i had other friends joining me and one of them lost 60 pounds in 3 months and one lost 12 pounds in 2 months! I never lost weight cause always been skinny but i am more tone! Believe me, if you see me how i eat you know i need yoga sculpt to keep this belly tight!!! :) read more

Did not feel welcome. I inquired about the free Thursday class and a short dark haired Asian young lady behind the counter responded, "the class is funded by someone or some agency". This struck me as un-neccessary, because in the South Ward Calendar Events advertisement it still says class is "Free". Please re-train manager or other staff to refrain from playing sematics games with potential customers or just a one time yoga class attender. We have to remember to be kind to others, that may not be in our same preceived social class. read more

Always recommend the free week if you've never gone before they hook you up on your first day. Staff is always wonderful and open to talking before and after class. The studios are always warm and welcoming. Parking can be crazy, always go half hour before classes start I seem to get lucky and score a parking spot. Other times it can get stressful especially when you try to make it on time to class. The other yogis in the studio are so respectful and kind. When they do small talk before class they are mindful of the people next to them. We are all there to be stressed free and understand our surroundings. read more

I like it! Only go to two of their locations, the Ward and Kahala since I am a townie. Here are some things that make it so appealing.... it's clean. It does not smell like sweat. I hate studios that smell.... and I don't want to have to mask the smell by putting essential oil's on my nose like I've seen people do at other studios! Second the parking is free at both locations. Next the teachers are excellent. Some teachers are better than others and more popular of course, but overall the teachers know what they're doing and the classes flow. And there's a variety of classes offered all day long, every day. The problem I had with my last studio which I really liked, was that there were hardly any classes offered. Here you can do straight yoga with no heat ( although it's still about 85° because of residual heat from other classes)... or up the ante and do harder classes and sculpt, for the ultimate kill yourself work out. I do like the combination of weights, cardio and yoga in sculpt and have been alternating between sculpt and core power one, which is only yoga. The popular teachers have people lined up an hour before a class starts! No joke! But so far I haven't had any trouble getting into any class that I wanted to take, and all of the teachers are nice and respectful of your space and remind you that it is your practice, and you just do as much as you can. They've got a free week which is awesome and you can try as many classes as you want without cost. They also have a special where you pay $89 for the first month unlimited and then about $169 a month there after, unlimited. But I found that if you are in the military, or a teacher, or an HMSA member etc. you can pay $139 a month unlimited. They want to give you a discount! You can also get 25% off one item during your birthday month! And they have sales occasionally on all the clothing, mats and towels that are in the studio at 20% off regular price, in addition to ongoing regular sales. I mention this because I love Manduka and Lululemon and when it goes on sale here, the prices are comparable to Amazon.... most of my friends have lost weight or inches off their waist line by going to Core Power. My goal is to be flexible, have stamina and be healthy for life! And have fun while doing it! read more

CorePower Yoga - Ward - There is a huge line for certain teachers! - Yoga Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet. I've been to handful of yoga studios but CorePower has been the most consistent, efficient and convenient. Perfect location, I love that they have classes round the clock, different levels of classes so you don't get bored, clean facility that's easy and great for people who have a busy schedule. I think majority of the classes are 60 mins long which is awesome because the class doesn't drag along and you're not wondering if the class will be over soon. I usually attend C2 which is hot and still hard enough to make me die. I've tried C1, Sculpt and the Fusion classes and they're all different which keeps it interesting. Sculpt is more of a cardio / strength class and if you're like me I would attend a few C2 classes before going to this one haha. Last couple times I attended I basically did child's pose for 75% of the class, hey no shame! Fusion is fun in the candlelight, I didn't realize it's hotter than the other classes and is more about balance. Don't get it twisted it's still hard haha. They do have a water fountain and lockers, bring your own lock. I noticed that the studio gets really busy around 5ish when everyone is off of work. The showers are clean and they also have shampoo/condition/body wash which is super convenient! You can rent towels and mats which helps as well. Try all the classes so you can get familiar with which instructors motivate you more. I do favor the instructors who have a great playlist because music does make a difference! I can't pulse to some acoustic shit I'm sorry haha. Some of them will also touch your nasty sweaty self and massage you! I'm always alarmed because I'm so gross lol whatever. The best bang for your buck is the black tag membership. I know they have some sort of program where you can clean for a discounted rate so be sure to ask about that. They also have sales sometimes on their products which is nice. Love love this place. It's really helped with my stress and anxiety and has helped me to be more mindful about my body. read more

CorePower Yoga is located outside of south market. This location has two studios so there are classes all day, everyday. This studio has lots of parking but you need to come before 10am if you're taking a class because it gets extremely crowded from people going to tj max and Nordstrom. The first class I ever took was here and I did the one week free trial. I haven't stopped going ever since! I don't go to this studio often because I go to the Kailua, but if I come to this location it's because of certain instructors or meet up with my friends that live in town. I'd have to say Mindy has to be my favorite c2 instructor at this location because she always has a different and seamless flow. Anyway there multiple classes to take so check the schedule online. There will be instructors you really enjoy and some that you may not, so just try out a variety of teachers before deciding if you like corepower or not. read more

Ehhhhhh generic yoga classes. CP churns out their own instructors that spew out their branding. The flow is too fast for me that I feel like I'm going through the motions instead of holding a pose and reaping it's benefits. Pet peeve #1: there is nothing like being welcomed into a studio by people's dirty slippers strewn about the entrance since they are too lazy to put it in the cubbies. Pet peeve #2: ending class with a marketing spiel instead of letting me enjoy savasana and the yoga bliss that I've been chasing all class. PP#3: head to toe lululemon to look the part but not aware of the fundamentals of the poses. To end on a positive note: I do like the water fountain/bottle refilling station (hint hint Kahala studio). I enjoy taking Rian's classes and I only go to his classes, too bad he mostly subs. With that said, I won't be continuing my black tag membership. read more

This is a beautiful and pristine studio, by far the best one I've been to! Mary B. is the absolute best instructor with the BEST music, for C2 (yoga) and sculpt. Mary's bomb music and patience with each student's different level of experience and skill made the class perfect. Plus, the staff in general are so friendly. Beautiful, new studio + great people! read more

I LOVE CPY! In particular the Sculpt classes. It is be the hardest, most fun, and intense workout that I have ever done... and I am totally addicted! I try to go to sculpt at least 4x a week! The location is ideal, the studio is well kept, and all of the teachers are super nice!! The membership fees are steep, but if you're like me and don't do well at the gym... then this type of setting is worth the money! read more

This studio made me love yoga. The instructors are so welcoming the second you walk in the door. I first met the manager, Mary, and she was so helpful in answering any questions I had, and made me feel excited and comfortable in the new environment. Each instructor has their own style while hitting all those flow points, so I took multiple instructors' classes to find what clicked with me. An awesome part of each instructor is that they all make you feel so welcome, and encourage everyone with the different levels of yoga experience in one room. Mary's Sculpt is a freaking game changer, and I got up at the crack of dawn in order to take Marlene's C2. The instructor's are everything! They care about and are respectful to everyone's time, experience, and self. The people really make it. read more

What can I say about CorePower Yoga? It has been a life changing experience for me. I am a disabled veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and I am sad to say that the experience there has left a dent in my mental well-being. It has been a struggle. Then I discovered CorePower Yoga. My wife actually forced me to go. I went there, at first grudgingly, but later I wanted to go there on my own. I am pretty sure I am addicted by now. I can't imagine my life without CorePower Yoga. My favorite time to go is the 8:45 pm class. Our instructors, Yanira, Aaron, Katie, Cindy, and Uliana are totally awesome. Their classes are wildly popular, and are always full, yet I always feel that I am not just another body to fill the classroom; I feel the individual connection with my instructor. My evening Yoga classes have allowed me to quiet down my mind before going to bed. I sleep better. My body is now able to do things I never imagined it would be able to do. My balance improved. Yet I have ways to go. I am always eagerly awaiting my favorite time of the day, when the kids are in bed, and I grab my mat to have some real "me time" at CorePower Yoga at the Ward studio. My only regret is that there isn't a CorePower Yoga studio in Mililani. read more

CorePower is easily my favorite workout spot in the world! I had heard so much about it but never built up the courage to actually go. I started out with the free week and after that I was hooked. I decided to buy the black tag membership and I do not regret it at all. The classes are great, and all very different depending on what you want. As someone who was an athlete and enjoys something a little more up-tempo, I absolutely love the sculpt class. The music is great and you use light weights to go along with certain poses. The other classes at CorePower are also great but definitely more calming typical yoga type classes. The only down side is that it is on the expensive side but I honestly think it is worth the money. The facilities are super nice and clean, with locker rooms and showers if you want to clean up after class. They also have hair brushes, blow dryers, deodorant, and lotion if you need. The instructors are also very friendly and supportive which makes for a fun, comfortable class! read more

Kudos! The Ward location came back strong and is dealing well with expected issues--well done management.

Went to a Valentine's event and it was fabulous. The manager Mary Brister was super engaging, helpful and encouraging. The event was well organized. I will go back! read more

I am always thankful for places like CPY that have a week free trial to guarantee their quality of training. I believe it's the most effective way to get new members into their studio and get a lot of referrals. Things Needed Yoga Mat (You can rent the mat at the studio as well) Yoga Towel Sweat Towel Water bottle I walked into this studio and felt completely positive about it. On the right side at the entrance, there is a place where you can put your shoes. Immediately to the left is the check in counter and some items for purchase. They have everything from yoga mats to yoga outfits for both men and women. Granted I am no yogi but a beginner at everything. This wasn't my first time taking yoga classes; however, I am a newbie to their training and the flow of things in the studio. Every teacher/instructor are different but at CPY, their method of training is really exciting and lots of motivation and self boosting. Wait, self boosting? Isn't that the same as motivation? When I say self boosting, I meant they will not only get you geared up for what you're about to go through in that one hour, but the class is almost like a story. There's a beginning and the end. In that one hour duration, you're pretty much on overdrive. 5-10 minutes into the hour, you're pretty much sweating because you've officially decided on your own that you want push through it. This is a heated studio of about 95-100 degrees. CPY offers classes for: C1 - Beginning Power Yoga C2 - Heated Power Yoga Hot Power Fusion CorePower Yoga Sculpt - Heated Power Yoga with Weights C3: Advanced Heated Power Yoga I've had the chance of taking a C1 level class and and C2 sculpt class. I don't believe I've earned nearly enough strength and experience to do their advanced C3 classes yet. But what's great about CPY is they welcome all levels with assistance and they're always motivating and pushing people to their limit. I've enjoyed Talaya's and Eric's C2 sculpt classes and Laura Mary's C2; Heated Power yoga. The instructors here are all wonderful. The C2 Sculpt with weights class consisted of high energy music with concentration to all muscle groups while still practicing some yoga poses while getting some good fat burning high metabolism work out and still using your core. Overall, you're working everything in one hour. The C2; Heated Power Yoga is still a rigorous class while still doing those demanding yoga poses. This will stretch you out like a pretzel. Lots of balancing and use of your core. I barely survived it all. I highly recommend CPY to everyone. They have some of the most flexible hours, For the early risers, they have classes as early as 6am. For the workaholics, the last class is at 7:45pm. Plenty of parking near or around TJ Max and Nordstrom Rack. They're located behind TJ Max. I had a bit of a hard time finding this place in the beginning. read more

CorePower Yoga - Ward - Breathe.... GO! - Yoga Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Everything about Ward is wonderful. From the instructors to the atmosphere, manager Mary is dynamic.

If you are looking for a high intensity workout with motivating instructors, take a class at this studio. I go to a gym regularly to work out and these classes still push my limits. I have taken classes with both Mary and Tara and the music and energy make the challenging exercise go by quickly and I leave feeling accomplished and wanting to come back for more. Keep up the great work and amazing space to practice! read more

A friend encouraged me to give CorePower Yoga at try as they were having a free two-week trial membership. Their Ward Village location is tucked away on the Diamond Head Side of the TJ Maxx / Nordstrom Rack Building. It took me a while to figure out where they located and I wandered around the building for a few minutes as the entrance is hidden away from the rest of the storefronts. I finally found the entrance which faces the Ko'olani building and a small park. I found their facilities to be very modern and clean. They have nicely designed restroom and shower facilities for men and women and a retail store up front. The Ward location has two rather spacious studios which is great because you have time to warmup or chill before or after class as they alternate studios for each class. They also have a great sound system and the instructors play some great tunes for the various classes. They have several types of classes: traditional yoga, hot yoga, and sculpt which is a combination of yoga, yoga with weights, core, and cardio. I really enjoyed the sculpt sessions as I felt it was giving me a great total body workout into a fun, but tough hour long session. It really worked my core and I left buckets of sweat on the floor. I also enjoyed their fusion aka hot yoga class as well. I noticed this class was not as hot as some other hot yoga classes I've been to, but it was enough for me to completely melt away onto the floor. This company is big on technology. Even if you have a trial membership, they'll assign you a barcode card that you use to check-in to every class. You can also download their smartphone app and input your barcode to the app, so you have a virtual card to check-in with. The app also gives you the class schedules and updates for all of their locations such as Kailua and Kahala and you can easily add your session to your smartphone calendar. After 3 days of classes, I'm hooked on CorePower Yoga! Namaste! read more

Core Power Yoga is a great addition to your fitness regimen. I always get a little anxious and intimidated by a new training method, but the instructors do a great job of informing and inspiring. My girlfriend and I decided to do the two week free trial, and ended up going with one of their set class packages after experiencing Core Power. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by the instructor for the next class, they check you in, and direct you to the appropriate room. The facility is clean and tidy, and provides you with just about everything you need for freshening up after a sweaty class, even disposable bags for your soaked workout clothes. The classes themselves, range from beginner to intermediate levels, and their handy app allows you to get an idea of what each one will be like. I enjoy the Yoga Sculpt class, as it really gives you a great aerobic workout -- a lot of dynamic movements incorporated with yoga positions. And they guide you nicely through each set, offering optional hands-on assistance, to correct your form and posture. Whether it's your thing or not, inspirational/motivational guidance is also offered just before, during, and immediately after class, helping set your intentions well. If you're looking to add some balance to your typical gym workout, while gaining the added benefits of yoga, I highly recommend trying out Core Power Yoga. read more

COREPOWER YOGA @1170 AUAHI ST.: Located across from Kolowalu Park, east side of Rack and TJ Maxx building with 7 floor parking structure. Before store hours, parking is super easy. I got a groupon 1 month deal. I tried all the classes but Advanced Heated Power Yoga. I wish they had these classes during the weekday. Compared to Kahala studio, I felt the classes are not as packed and did not have any odor issues. Nice! I enjoyed Alex M. classes the best as his instruction was clear. He often starts classes with nice notes and repeat it at the end. I loved it. He used Bruce Lee quotes on my first class. That really got me. Tip: Make sure you bring a bottle of water, yoga mat, large and small towel and $1.00 for locker. There is a rental $1.00 locker, you pay first for a key and get your money back when you return the key. Although locker key could be all gone at busy time. read more

I wanted to check out Core Power Yoga via their free week trial and learned that the grand opening of their Ward studio would be January 1. Perfect timing! I was fortunate enough to be there during their first day and loved the vibe of the staff and venue. It's always exciting to launch a new initiative or business! They have two studio rooms and provide excellent amenities - showers, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, Q-tips, hair dryers, and brushes along with a changing area and lockers. I felt spoiled when taking advantage of this - what a time saver! Forgot your stuff? Don't have a yoga mat? No worries, you can rent. They also sell athletic apparel. Overall, it's a pretty damn nice hot yoga studio and the location is ideal - located along Queens Street, on the same side as TJ Maxx. So parking is typically not an issue. Everyday so far I've experienced a different instructor and tried most of the classes offered. If you're not new to hot yoga, definitely shoot for the level 2 and 3 sessions. Want a challenge? You need to attend the Yoga Sculpt with Weights class. Trevor M made me burn! Need to relax before you head home? Attend the Hot Fusion session during the weekday evenings - challenging in the most calmest way. My week trial is coming to an end and they hooked me in! They are pricier than the Nimitz Hot Yoga studio. But my experience with Core Power Yoga has been great! This is the start of a great relationship... read more

How can you go wrong with CorePower Yoga? The instructors are awesome. If your posture/pose isn't right, they will gladly help you out. Their tone is always perfect, which is important. You want your instructor to have energy, but not to sound like they are at a concert. The ambiance of the studio is relaxed. Music gently playing in the background, and sunlight beaming through the windows (if you go to a earlier class). I think my only issue is how over crowded it gets, but how can you blame anybody? You just have to make sure you get there early. read more

I am OBSESSED. I am in my honeymoon stage, in love with passion, and I just can't get enough!!! By that beginning statement, you probably wouldn't believe that I never really was a fan of yoga. I've done it before at various places. Actually took a class in college. I never really thought it was a "workout." Plus I'm so not flexible. I'm use to doing high intense cardio classes such as bodypump & turbo kickboxing, and yoga to me just didn't give me the same feeling...UNTIL I experienced CPY! My friend tried to convince me to sign up for the black tag membership Kailua promo deal for $125 right off the bat. With my skeptical yoga thoughts, I was not about to spend over-a-hundred-dollars for a non-workout when I already only pay $30 elsewhere to do high intensity classes. SO, I opted for the 2 week free trial JUST TO KEEP HER COMPANY..... And boy oh boy do I regret not signing up for the $125 membership! During the free trial I tried pretty much all of the classes they offer. I went 6 times. Although the $125 promo was up, there was a 2nd promo for $148 (10% off regular membership of $165). The emails kept coming - 5 days left....1 day left.....And eventually I pulled the trigger on the last day of the promo! I just could not get enough. I literally had #FOMO! CPY has changed my mind about yoga. It is high intense. I sweat. A LOT. More than bodypump or TKB. I love the mixture of classes from Sculpt to Hot Power Fusion to C2. They are all challenging in their own ways, even C1. I love the heat. Now I realize what the big hype is about. And why people pay big money for this stuff. My body feels great, my mind is relaxed after a long day's of work, and results are immediate. So so so so worth it. read more

Read my Yelp friend Kristine C.'s review for the perfect review of CorePower Yoga. If you're like me and have been trying lots of different Yoga studios downtown and in Kakaako you're probably also frustrated. Not to worry, give CorePower Yoga a chance and you may be pleasantly surprised. They give you a FREE WEEK to try it out so you've got nothing to lose. Namaste! read more

CorePower Yoga - Ward - Awesome locker!!!! - Yoga Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Initially encouraged by my co-residents and I have been coming here for exactly a year now! I've been to the other locations and by far the Ward studio is my favorite! Parking is easy to find, studio includes two rooms, one larger for more popular classes. Bathroom is clean but can be a bit tight when during peak hours and there are three showers in the men's locker. Lots of lockers available in the men's locker room but I hear differently for the women's locker room. All of the instructors I've met so far have all been friendly. The rooms are heated and maintained well, there is no smell of sweat!! Big plus! haha. The downside is if it's a popular class like Yoga Sculpt with Troy, it can get tight and all of the blocks and weights will be used. You can get there early but it's a hit or miss on how early you get there to get a spot. Have a yoga buddy to save you a spot if you need to! It can be pricey and there is various options. I first started out with a groupon deal and then paid for class packages since I only go about once a week. If you go more than 4-5 times a week, then it's best to get the unlimited pack. read more

I think I've fallen in love with this place! I fell in love with yoga when I took it at UH and I have been trying many different places out. Luckily my friend suggested we come here on a Saturday morning to try their Hot Power Fusion (HPF). You get a free trial week, which I am going to take full advantage of! So at 9 we sat in the warm room, think sauna temperature, & I was already sweating before we even started class. The class was amazing & the instructor was very helpful when he assisted us with our poses. I enjoyed this place so much that I drove down early Sunday morning from Mililani just so I could try the body sculpt class. I think I'm kinda fit, but this class really worked me. There was a lot of cardio, weights, yoga, awesome music & lots of sweat. This class had reggae music which I absolutely love! Since it was my first sculpt class I looked at what everyone had & grabbed my weights. This class was a good pain that you become addicted to! The locker room is so so so clean! It's a bit tiny, but somehow all the ladies make it work. There are 4 showers, 2 toilets & a handful of lockers. You can rent towels for a $1 or you can just bring your own. They have plastic bags for your dirty clothes which was a lifesaver because I totally forgot mine. I'm seriously hooked on this place & I'm debating on becoming a member. I just wish it was a bit closer to home! read more

Na-ma-freakin'-stay, babeh! I've found my favorite yoga studio of all time. So conveniently located in town near the Ward Center with a parking structure, CPY is the town's cleanest, coolest (nice and clean showers and lockers) and swankiest of the yoga studios around. They offer a FREE unlimited week of classes to new and veteran yogis at every hour of the day (i.e., 6a-8:45p) so you can squeeze in a sesh almost any time. Classes vary from beginner (i.e. C1) to C2 to more advanced flowy classes and high-energy classes like Yoga Sculpt. All the classes integrate some fitness workout in combination with yoga. This means you get some cardio, stretches, and some workouts all in a 60-minute sesh. By far my favorite class, Yoga Sculpt does it for me. Not a class for the faint of heart but a revitalizing class for many, this class will kick your butt into gear. The class includes light to moderate weights of your choice. Go light at first and pace yourself. Remember the whole point of coming is to listen to your body, set an intention for the rest of your day. The aspect I love is that these classes really set you straight for the day. Not feeling your best. No prob bob, take a class and you're good to go. You'll love the crowd energy. Finally for once, you get to be in a setting where you can complain and grunt without the awkward looks because when you're in there sweating balls, pushing your limits, and setting your intention for the rest of your day, of course you're gonna moan and grunt. While you're at it, punch someone. OK. I'm kidding. Don't do that. Swing by and take a class or two. You won't regret it. read more

I was dragged into CPY by a friend. Before that, I thought, how hard can it be? Also, I do yoga at home for FREE with youtube, why do I need to pay $$$ to commute to yoga classes? I took my first C2 class and I understood why. Now, I consider myself fairly active, I take spin classes a few times a week, lift weights, and box. However, CPY kicked my butt. The very next day, I was sore all over...FROM A YOGA CLASS. Whatttttt. Yes. A few dozen C1s, C2s, and Sculpt Classes later, I can honestly say CPY has changed my life. I've even invested in a quality yoga mat and yogitoes towel.. because yoga at CPY has had that much of an impact on my life and I'm committed to it. Not only is it an amazing workout but it's also very therapeutic. I'm a very type-A person so classes at CPY really help me to decompress after a stressful work week. I try to take a few C2 classes each week and at least one Scuplt or C1 class a week. If you are looking for a workout either C2, Hot Power Fusion, and of course Sculpt will be your best friends. C1 classes are gentler but by no means do you not sweat-- it is considered a 'beginner' class but I think it is important to go to C1 even if you are advanced in your practice... I find it really helps me to balance out the more challenging C2 classes. Now I haven't quit my gym membership because I still enjoy the hour long spin class rides and lifting weights...but CPY is the perfect accompaniment to counter those intense grunt sessions. The heated rooms really help me to 'open up'. My tight cycling hips have never felt better and my posture has improved tremendously. Let's not evven get started with the progress I have made in my balance, flexibility, and upper body strength. I'm so much stronger physically and mentally. The person I was in January 2016 vs. March 2016 is night and day. CPY will change your life!! Now the reason for the docked star is that CPY is definitely not cheap. Lucky for me, I found an online deal for 3 months unlimited, much cheaper than the regular price. For now, CPY is affordable for me. But in the future, I'll have to get creative with my finances because I can't imagine my life without it. read more

3:45pm YS w/ Cindy = SOOO GREAT!! I've completed well over 850 CP Yoga classes in the last few years at studios all over the continental US (& now OCONUS!)! Anyways, feel like I'm qualified to provide an accurate rating ... Cindy kicked my lazy 1 week in vacationing sunburnt bum today!!! Amazing vibe, fantastic workout, clean studio, perfect scorching hot studio! The place was starting to get packed as o was leaving - but it was right about 5pm on a Thursday ... in a big city ... what would you expect?! Friendly staff, felt right at home! read more

I've been coming here on and off for about a year and a half now and I only wrote a review now...(I know, so late!). Every time I come here I am greeted with a warm smile and very helpful staff. (Just a tip: if they are in between classes, they lock the door). The staff has always helped me with any issues or any vouchers that I wanted to redeem. The classes they offer have a wide range for beginners (c1, c2) to people who want to go all out (sculpt). At first I was afraid of sculpt because sometimes you can hear a lot of yelling, but really it's not scary at all! They are just yelling to motivate you and get you to give it your all. Every instructor has their own style so just gotta try it out to see which kind you like over others. The instructors make sure you are comfortable in your space and makes sure you go at your own level. The bathrooms are always clean and provide everything you need for a shower & post-shower (except a towel - you can rent one for $1 from the front desk). The parking is easy, same parking lot as tj maxx. I love this place and will continue to come as long as I can afford it!! :) read more

Corepower Yoga is my latest addiction. They have a variety of classes for all different skill levels. I especially love C2 and yoga sculpt. I learn something new at every class I attend. The heated classrooms give that extra oomph to get your muscles a nice stretch. The classrooms and locker rooms are very clean considering how much sweating goes on in this place. Yes it is pricey, but it's totally worth it to me because I feel so good after class. They offer a variety of discounts on black tag membership and you can get one week for free to try it out. read more
