CorePower Yoga

CorePower Yoga at 1055 Thomas Jefferson Street NW Suite L11 is a yoga studio in the Georgetown waterfront commercial district, near the C and O Canal and the Washington Harbour waterfront development. CorePower Yoga was founded in Denver in 2002 and has expanded to more than 200 locations nationally, developing a signature yoga format that combines the physical intensity of the athletic yoga practice with the spiritual dimension of the yoga tradition in a heated studio environment.

The CorePower format distinguishes itself from the standard yoga studio through the combination of heat and intensity: the C2 class, which is the CorePower signature format, is conducted in a room heated to approximately 93 degrees and combines the flowing vinyasa yoga sequences with the strength-training elements that the CorePower method introduces. The heated room, which the hot yoga tradition uses to warm the muscles and facilitate the deeper stretching that the yoga postures require, also produces the intense cardiovascular challenge that makes the CorePower class a complete physical training session rather than simply a flexibility practice.

The Georgetown waterfront location at 1055 Thomas Jefferson Street serves the Georgetown professional and residential community with the early morning and evening yoga classes that the working professional needs as a component of the daily fitness practice. The proximity to the C and O Canal towpath, which provides the Georgetown runner and cyclist with one of the best outdoor fitness corridors in Washington, makes the Thomas Jefferson Street area a fitness destination that CorePower extends into the heated studio format.

Hours run from early morning through evening on weekdays and Saturday. The CorePower Yoga community at the Thomas Jefferson Street location creates the social dimension of the yoga practice that the individual home yoga routine does not provide: the class environment in which the Georgetown client practices alongside familiar faces from the regular class schedule builds the community connection that the yoga tradition has always valued alongside the physical practice. The Georgetown professional who attends the CorePower class before the work day begins the professional day with the physical and mental preparation that the yoga tradition provides.

The Thomas Jefferson Street waterfront location at 1055, Suite L11, provides the Georgetown yoga student with the canal neighborhood environment that complements the mind-body yoga practice: the C and O Canal towpath, which is visible from the Thomas Jefferson Street approach, is the Georgetown waterfront’s most direct connection to the natural landscape that the yoga tradition associates with the contemplative practice. The CorePower session in the heated studio at Thomas Jefferson Street prepares the Georgetown student for the walk along the canal that the post-class cooling-down might include. Hours run from early morning through evening on weekdays. The CorePower Yoga Georgetown location at 1055 Thomas Jefferson Street NW Suite L11 schedules the full CorePower class curriculum across the weekly calendar, including the CPY fundamentals class that the new student uses to learn the reformer Pilates movement vocabulary and the C2 heated flow class that the regular Georgetown CorePower student uses as the primary training session. The Thomas Jefferson Street waterfront location is open from early morning through evening on weekdays and Saturday, with adjusted Sunday hours.
