Appreciate the response Madeline! I visited the studio a few more times and found that the cleanliness improved - maybe because i went during a busy time and people were walking around the bathroom with shoes on so light floor looked dirty!! On another note, I like the teachers at this studio a lot. I took a morning class with Gerianna last week and I was the only person who showed up at first. She didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all and was still excited to teach. I really appreciated that! Two other people joined later so it felt less awkward, but overall it was a great class. Recognized that I was a bit harsh in my first review so wanted to update this. :)

I have love for all yoga studios but I must leave this review because I don't think teachers realize that not everyone can practice yoga in the dark. Some people are visually impaired and actually need light to balance and function. The reason Corepower classes without light are titled "Candlelight" is so members know that there will be minimal light. I went to "catie's" class this week, and she's a very sweet and kind teacher but 1/3 way through the class she turns off all the lights and leaves them off for the remainder of class. Firstly, it was 4:30p in the afternoon. If I wanted a candlelight class I would have taken a later class.... read full review

One of my least favorite CPY studios. This space is super tiny and for some reason always smelly.. but that could be because the classes are always soooo packed. The locker area and bathrooms get very congested because of how many people use this studio. It is right in the FiDi area so a lot of people make their way through here before and after work and trust me, it smells like it.
