Life Long Health Maintenance

by ptsw

November 2007 was my wake up call. A body composition test showed I was nearly obese at 25% body fat and had extremely low muscle mass. I couldn't believe it! At 5'11'' and 185 lbs I didn't think I was in THAT bad of shape. I was classified as a skinny fat person. I didn't look fat, but most of my body was composed of fat. I knew it was time to do something! At 42 with an arthritic condition high impact activities are no longer an option. I started yoga and haven't looked back! My last body composition test showed 15.8% body fat with a respectable amount of muscle. I've started watching my diet a bit more, but the main change has been 1 hour of yoga, 3 times a week. Yoga has been the most complete body workout I've experienced! Addressing strength, flexibility, joint lubrication, organ massage, etc. Yoga is truly a life long health maintenance program.

I've been to several Core Power studios - Lone Tree, Ken Carly, Broadway, Cherry Hills - with one consistent theme, extremely knowledgeable, high quality instructors. Their dedication and enthusiasm is contagious. It is obvious they all have a passion for teaching that goes beyond just a job. And to the teachers at Core Power, you change lives! Thank you!

Best yoga experience

by thinkpink5836

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: Parking can be hard at Grant and Broadway
