With more than 200 locations nationwide, CorePower Yoga is the largest yoga studio chain in the country. Trying anything for the first time can be intimidating, especially an exercise class with a cult-like following and an Instagram-worthy studio. But not to worry: unlike some swanky fitness studios, CorePower is very beginner-friendly.
Still, if you’ve never done yoga (let alone hot yoga), or you’re just new to CorePower, there are some specifics you should know before arriving at the studio. At the time of my first class, I’d been a dancer for seven years and practiced yoga regularly, so on a whim, I grabbed my mat and water bottle and headed over, wildly unprepared. Learn from my mistakes and make the most of your CorePower Yoga experience using these tips.
