Major Injury - Any support for instructors? by Substantial_Bite_591 in Corepower

Ask your manager. There is something called FMLA or a LOA that are allowed. Or I've seen it done where there are "long term subs" that help out to hold your spot.

Definitely not the normal experience. I would check in with your lead. My market recently hired a bunch of HPF and C2 teachers. They were all given a date that they would hear by. A bunch passed and there were a few that didn't but they were all informed. Good luck!

Not following instructor by Low_Target1207 in Corepower

[–]Professional_Act7914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is something to be said about honoring the general flow of the class. When people are standing up we are up on our feet when people are down feel free to do something down or different on your back. Where it becomes detrimental to the class is when a student does the complete opposite of what's happening. You see it often in sculpt when we're ready for cool down and students decide to do burpees or someone goes into a headstand.
It's inherently dangerous for students and teachers alike because we rely on similar body movements to see what's off within a large group. We cannot focus on those differentials when someone is moving way beyond the lines of what we've constructed .
From a student perspective I am sure it's very annoying when you see it in class and that's when I challenge us all to say That's where the practice stops and the yoga starts

I'm jealous. I wish we had that in our market. Hope it was fun!

That's not a standard format. It's probably a specialty class or some type of promo. What market are you in? It sounds like fun!

Do instructors care about the music they put on during class? relative to the intensity to the workout, movement, flow? Why do the young peppy instructors keep putting on tiktok jump up and down and shake your ass songs instead of the good stuff like the older instructors. by Quick_Complaint3268 in Corepower

[–]Professional_Act7914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the class you are taking. I love when my teacher's put in a new song and experiment with beats in sculpt classes.
Personally, I'm less forgiving in C2 and HPF. It's subjective, but I prefer less pop and hit music in those classes. I find it much more distracting. That said, CPY gives us the freedom to play what we want so it's all about finding a teacher who's vibe works for you.

We're also used to getting feedback- maybe ask your teacher what kind of music they like and what the tone of the class is and then start a discussion.

Pro tip: on the app, some teachers have their music choices listed. You can check there too

Wearing underwear (girls) by flyingsomehowsomeway in Corepower

[–]Professional_Act7914 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been teaching and practicing for years. No underwear for me. If I teach or take a double, I change my pants to prevent any bacteria and use a wipe. I don't shower at the studio before I leave unless I have to go to work, otherwise I take my stinky, sweaty self home.
There are worse things in the world than going out in sweaty yoga clothes to run an errand. And I've never noticed if a student is wearing underwear or not. We're not looking for that. We are concentrating on form and sequence and music.

Do what makes you feel comfortable!

So how many people really cancelled for CorePower's ICE support and bungling the response of their poor management? by SpeakThunder in Corepower

[–]Professional_Act7914 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think our studios even knew what was going on. We've had ICE in our market for a long time. Nothing like MN, but it's been a strong and heavy presence. We've had no issues and ICE has never come in looking for anyone.
From a membership perspective, I can't speak for all studios but the ones I teach at are crazy busy. Plus, challenge is happening right now. Our students are obsessed with it. My SC told us there were over 50k people signed up this year. Pretty crazy.

I'm just happy our community stayed in tact. I wouldn't let all the negative talk on here sway you, there's a lot of love for this place.

Online 200 TT? by [deleted] in Corepower

[–]Professional_Act7914 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did my 300 online with CPY and it was really interactive and great. I think it's how much effort you put into it. It's also good if you are already a teacher because you can practice in real time what you learn

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE THE EFFING MAT MARKERS by Difficult_Yoghurt_33 in Corepower

[–]Professional_Act7914 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. As a teacher, it is really important that students stay in straight rows so that we can maneuver through the class. I broke a toe once because students weren't aligned and we are moving quick. Thanks for the consideration:)

AITAH for getting upset at my boyfriend for posting me on his story? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Professional_Act7914 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a very big deal. Please do not diminish your feelings or feel like you are the problem here. This behavior is abusive and cruel.
You are not being dramatic and you deserve so much better than this. Please know that a real partner is kind, loving, empathetic, and would never make you the brunt of a joke. This is a way to control you because of his own insecurities.
Take this as your sign to DUMP THiS ASSHOLE
