Out of all the yoga teacher trainings I’ve done over the last couple of years, Yoga Sculpt teacher training at Corepower Yoga has been my favorite teacher training so far. This is quite a statement for me because when I started my first yoga teacher training, I was obsessed with Bikram Yoga. After my initial […] Read more…

Countless hours of preparation – attending training classes after work, memorizing cues, practice teaching, studying postures and learning and practicing giving hands-on adjustments during postures – all came to a head for me on Monday night. I auditioned to teach Hot Power Fusion at CorePower Yoga. I feel like so much was built up into […] Read more…

One of my big goals for 2016 has been to get myself through yoga teacher training in hopes of becoming a part-time yoga teacher. I’ve had to invest a fair amount of money into the training, dedicate countless hours to studying and practice teaching and sacrifice numerous nights and weekends to attend lectures and class […] Read more…

Before I decided to sign up for yoga teacher training at CorePower Yoga, I did my fair share of research. I checked out other yoga teacher trainings in the area, based on location, schedule availability, price and the style of yoga studied. Since I’m a huge Bikram Yoga fan, I knew I wanted to go […] Read more…

Today was a milestone in my yoga teacher training journey. We hosted a Hot Power Fusion community class this afternoon at the CorePower Yoga Greenwood studio. I got to teach half of it! Normally in a bigger sized group for the Extensions Program, I’d only get to teach a small portion of the community class, […] Read more…

I did something really exciting this week. I started the next stage of my yoga teacher training, the Extensions Program at CorePower Yoga. If the last eight weeks of teacher training were considered the undergrad portion, then Extension would be its master program counterpart. The Extensions Program is where the real fun begins on the […] Read more…

My goal for this week was to finish taking the rest of my CorePower Yoga classes to meet my Hot Power Fusion Teacher Training requirement. With some careful planning, lots of preparation and a fair amount of discipline, I reached my goal by Saturday morning. To meet my goal this week, it meant I had […] Read more…

I know what you’re thinking – eight yoga classes in seven days? Why? Is that healthy? Isn’t that a little…obsessive? Yoga is totally healthy to do at least once a day. As for the obsessive part, I’ve been playing a little game of catch up. This past Sunday, I graduated from the CorePower Yoga Hot […] Read more…

I remember signing up for Carly Hayden’s indoor SUP yoga class way back in February, a week before I started my yoga teacher training at CorePower Yoga. I knew ahead of time that as part of my 60-yoga class graduation requirement for CorePower Yoga, I’d need to take three yoga classes outside of CPY. I […] Read more…

Last night, I introduced my 12-year-old niece, Carmen to yoga. I had been telling her about my recent experience with yoga teacher training at CorePower Yoga. She got super interested and wanting me to lead her in a yoga class so she can see what I’ve been up to over the last seven weeks. Carmen is […] Read more…

Even though this was technically my last week of yoga teacher training, I was still far behind with meeting my 60-yoga class requirement for graduation. At the beginning of this week, I still had 20 more classes to go. I have some serious catching up to do over the next couple of weeks. I foresee […] Read more…

Bring A Beginner Guest Day! I can’t believe this day has come. I remember when we were going over the entire Hot Power Fusion Teacher Training schedule back in February and saw this. I kept thinking how far off April 10th seemed to be at the time, a whole seven weeks away. Deep down inside, […] Read more…

I started off my Saturday morning in a Yoga Sculpt class with Sunny. This was the first Saturday morning Yoga Sculpt class I’ve been to where the entire room wasn’t completely packed. Where was everybody? I guess when the sun is out and its warm outside, people don’t want to get their sweat on indoors. […] Read more…

Long gone are my days of unwinding from the workweek in a bar over a cocktail or two or three. These days, my favorite way to unwind from the workweek is in a restorative yoga class. CorePower Yoga has this fantastic class called CoreRestore: Restorative Yoga. It’s a 75-minute Yin Yoga-inspired class filled with yoga […] Read more…

It’s becoming apparent that no one wants to do hot yoga in Seattle when it’s warm and sunny outside. I didn’t expect many people to be in tonight’s Hot Power Fusion class. Turns out, there were only three of us taking the class, four if you include the teacher. Tonight’s Hot Power Fusion class was interesting […] Read more…
