![]() I feel like some teachers take pride in challenging their classes but there is a balance that needs to be recognized. I appreciate a teacher who can push your limits, but when 85% of your students are not following the flow, you should probably give them a rest especially when the classroom feels hotter than 100F. The heat was unbearable at times and breaks were rare. Taught by Marxel, it was one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. I decided upon the CorePower Yoga Pilates after my friend Maria recommended it on my blog from Friday. The next day when I got back to my Brother’s house, I checked the CorePower schedule at the nearby studio for a class I could take. I also realized how much I really like Beyond Yoga clothing. I had never heard of teeki or soybu so I’m excited to check out their other designs. This way I can also remember the smaller brands. I assume if I like one piece at a studio, there is a good chance I will like more of their designs (and perhaps snag a deal). ![]() ![]() I always take pictures of the labels of clothes I like at boutiques to go and look them up online later. You can’t see it but the water bottle below has text along the outer edge of the heart that says, “I just hearted.” So cute and funny. The boutique also sells super cute yoga clothes and accessories. Strength-training exercises such as squats, lunges, bicep and tricep curls are incorporated to build lean muscle mass. This class complements your regular yoga practice while boosting your metabolism and pushing your strength and flexibility to new heights. Free weights are added to the CorePower Yoga 2 (C2) sequence, creating resistance and intensifying each pose. I knew I was going to be sore the next day but felt energized the rest of the day! Here is what the websites describes the class as well, for your own FYI:Ī total body workout, CorePower Yoga Sculpt classes are set to energizing music and designed to tone and sculpt every major muscle group. The hour went by really quick and felt amazing. I have never sweat so much during an exercise class in my life. Lacey gave us breaks when we needed to wipe off the sweat and grab a drink of water but kept us moving the entire hour. We picked up our light weights to “flow.” We did pushups, tricep dips, bicep curls, core work and more sun salutations with the weights. The music was a chill mix of popular songs, like Bieber and alternative rock. The sweat began to pour from my skin right away. We began with some traditional yoga sun salutations to get the body warm. She helped me get set up with a pair of 3 and 5 lb dumbbells. She knew everyone in our class and immediately made me feel at ease despite being my first heated yoga class (not to mention with weights!). Lacey has one of the most warm and welcoming personalities. With a studio up by my brother as well, it was a perfect opportunity to test a number of classes from the same studio. I saw online that new members get a free week of classes. She is an instructor and also helps train new teachers too! It was fate that her 8:30 AM CorePower Yoga Sculpt: Heated Power Yoga with Weights in Costa Mesa fit my schedule perfectly. I first heard about this mega studio on the Oakley Women’s Summit from Lacey Calvert. On my list of studios to visit was CorePower Yoga. ![]()
