At CorePower Yoga your instructor might be one of the people checking you in before class. If you have an injury, inform the instructor beforehand: As an instructor I like knowing if someone is dealing with an injury so I can provide modifications throughout class. Focus on your form and then you can go crazy picking up heavier weights. Because of this I recommend grabbing an assortment of weights, typically 3 lbs and 5 lbs for females to start and 5 lbs and 8 lbs for males. Grab an assortment of weights. Much like in a barre class you’ll do a high number of repetitions for each strength move. up dog, down dog, Warrior 2, High lunge, you’re good to go! If not, check out C1 at CorePower Yoga or a basics class at another studio to familiarize yourself with some of the postures. Due to the quick nature of the format, there’s sadly not enough time to really flesh out the proper form in every posture.

If you’ve never done yoga before I’d recommend taking a yoga class before hitting up sculpt. And be warned that CorePower in particular can be strict about letting people in late.įamiliarize yourself with the yoga basics. There’s nothing worst than feeling flustered because you ran into class at the last minute. Give yourself plenty of time to arrive, check-in and get situated in the studio. I mean, this is true for any fitness or yoga class you’re taking for the first time.

#Core yoga description update#
*If you have any questions about the class not covered below, email me or comment and I’ll update the post to answer additional questions.īTW: You get your first week free at all CorePower Yoga locations, not just in NYC. I thought I’d do a big ole round-up of everything you need to know about Sculpt and some advice for your first class. I get a lot of questions about what the heck Yoga Sculpt is. Yoga Sculpt is a class I’ve so loved teaching as it combines yoga, strength training and more often than not a playlist with Lady Gaga. This weeks marks one year since I taught my first Yoga Sculpt class at CorePower Yoga - how insane is that?
