I have been practiceing with CorePower for three weeks now and I just love it. I have gone to the Grant, Cherry Hills, and Broadway locations. At all three locations I have had experienced teachers who are will to help when needed. The teachers are very warm and welcoming, and the classes are not intidiating at all! The flow of each class is great! I leave feeling like I got more than just a great work out. I always feel relaxed and refreshed, even covered in sweat :)
Pros: Everything!!
Cons: At the Grant location it is difficult to find parking, and get there a little early because classes can fill up fast

I just want to address the criticisms of Corepower I see written here. I started doing yoga a couple years ago. My first class was at Samadhi. I then went to Coprepower, and have gone there several times a week consistently since then. Corepower is what it is. The instructors are all young and relatively inexperienced. They cover the same set of asanas, and do not go beyond that. They do not teach anything but asana. There is no spiritual component. There are few if any adjustments done. Corepower classes are slightly heated, but below the level of bikram studios. I went back to Samadhi last week, because I just wanted to compare. I went into a level 2 class. It seemed designed for absolute beginners, or maybe for those with a few classes under their belts. They taught the same asanas and went through the same routine as a level 2 class at Corepower. It was slower, although it was vinyasa. The instructor gave me one adjustment, which I appreciated, but that was it. Nothing more was taught, nothing discussed. Samadhi was not heated. I do have a problem with Corepower's corporate design, but that is my own problem. I've heard it snobily referred to by another studio's teacher as "Corporatepower." But what are we to expect? I have no answer. But to me yoga applied to American capitalism is seriously depressing. I try not to think about it. And I keep going there. Corepower, like other places, brings joy to people's lives. There is nothing wrong with that. Anyway, Corepower is fine for what it is. Just give it a try, give other places a try, compare. For me, I get more out of the Corepower classes and I feel I do at Samadhi. It is is only asana, though - just don't forget that. Asana is merely a component of yoga. If anyone knows of a studio that teaches at a more advanced level, and goes into aspects of yoga beyond asana, please, tell me where it is.
Pros: Numer of classes and times
Cons: Not enough depth
