As a distance runner I always feel like I could do more yoga. It truly makes me feel restored and re-energized! So I jumped at the opportunity to attend a sunset yoga session with CorePower Yoga and my fellow Dallas Fitness Ambassadors.
I was chosen as a Dallas Fitness Ambassador not too long ago and I am so excited to link up with this group to check out new workouts in the DFW area. I will be posting more about the workouts that I attend and new fitness studios popping up all over the metroplex. So definitely stay tuned for more of these posts!
I have attended CorePower before (check out my review here) and have taken a few different types of classes at their studio. This particular class was held outdoors at the beautiful CenterPark Garden at Northpark Mall! It was a perfect evening for getting your strech on outside. Nice and cool but not too chilly with a sweet sunset and colorful flowers in the background.
Green House Market was there also sampling some of their sweet treats. I loved the little date bites with berries on top as well as the chia seed pudding. Total yum and all natural.
They had a live DJ and an instructor to lead as through the vinyasa flow. I ran just over 12 miles yesterday so I totally needed this stretch! Warrior 2 is my jam.
I love also the concept of doing yoga outside. For me it really helps me to zen out and really get into the practice. Plus the soft surface on the grass was so cozy. Way better than doing yoga on a hard floor or pavement.
After the session DryBar and MiniLuxe had stations for manis and braiding hair etc. They also had a juice bar! ‘We’ve Got the Beet’ – I simply adore beets in juice form. I honestly am not sure why.
Overall it was such a wonderful night of yoga and networking with my ambassador friends. I am thrilled to be plugged in with these amazing folks who are also bloggers like myself and in love with health and fitness! Plus, I can now try new workouts and share them with you so you can get the exclusive skinny on the hottest and latest in fitness.
Hey, it also is nice now not to be the only person constantly taking photos at events. Because all of my blogger buds are photo happy! I love it.
Check out CorePower Yoga to see if there’s a studio near you and if you are in the Dallas area, hit up Green House Market for some healthy eats and treats.
When is the last time you got your yoga on? What’s your favorite type of yoga?
Definitely vinyasa/power flow!

That looks so fun. I’m not a yoga person, but I do like big events like these. I’m actually going to Vancouver in August for the lululemon seawheeze Half so I should probably start to try more yoga so I don’t look like a total noob at the yoga party after the half.
You definitely should try it! Yoga is so good for runners…I’ve learned after years and years of marathons and ultras just how important yoga is for your body 😉 Namaste!
I am right there with ya on needing to do more Yoga…it is always so much better outside too!
Oh gosh I just loved it!!!
Yoga has helped me so much! From flexibility to strength, it’s so beneficial!
Absolutely! I 100% agree!
Haha as soon as I saw that second picture, I knew you were at Northpark! #shopaholic Love that courtyard, seems like a perfect yoga spot.
I love yoga, I actually have practiced yoga for longer than I’ve been running! I usually get one class in a week, I should probably do more. I regularly do vinyasa yoga, but a restorative class is really nice once in a while! I’ve seen Core Power Yoga, they opened near me not too long ago. It looks nice!
I remember you telling me that little tidbit about you! Fun! Yoga is definitely awesome. Yeah definitely check out CorePower when you can!!
Strong warrior! 💪🏽 Love that pose too. This event sounds like such a ball. I cannot wait for the return of warm weather to practice outdoors again with my ladies on Saturday. I love mostly Kundalini and Hatha. Flow is great, but tough! I went to one hot yoga class under my friend’s advice. Don’t think I’ll go again. She was laughing at my angry, grunting face through the entire class. 😂
Haha oh yeah that hot yoga ain’t no joke!
Omg that looks so fun!!! I go to yoga (almost) every Thursday for a class called “stretch it out”. I used to be a power yoga junkie but now I’m all about slow and stretchy.
Nothing wrong with slow & stretchy! I like it too!!
wow that sounds like so much fun! and what a gorgeous night for the event! i’ve started to do more yoga to help recenter my body. it just feels so good when you are done!
True story!!!
