My Favorite Brand: CorePower Yoga
Currently my favorite brand is CorePower Yoga….it is a “Macy’s” for yogis of all types; beginners to experts – it is bringing yoga to the masses. Yoga is no longer the “hippy” workout and the base of those practicing is growing expeditiously. Presently they have 3 locations in Chicago and are growing. I have been to the Chicago Maple Street and the Lincoln Park location. They both have a clean cool design and sale just a bit of overpriced yoga gear (mats & clothes) if you need something on the fly. One disappointing observation for both locations is that the front desk staff should be more welcoming/ inviting, more – maybe I should say at least try….. It is already a bit intimidating when entering a new facility and not know how the studio works soooo if the people at the desk were happy and welcoming it would really kick start your visit off on a good foot. But now on to better areas to focus on; the PowerFlow class was taught by a young lady who you could tell was enthusiastic about the practice; I liked her and appreciated her passion and I feel that is what yoga is about. What I also value about CorePower are the e-Blasts….they are not only informative: teaching a new pose, but they also share community news and events. Which has what has lead me to what will be my blog….Chicago Yoga Social Scene.
