"Rumors are circulating of potential strike action next month from CorePower Yoga instructors, who say they are paid less per hour than the cost of a single class drop-in fee. CorePower Yoga has a cult following online, particularly for their Hot Sculpt classes, and currently has more than 200 locations across the US. But in the r/Corepower subreddit, a recent post urges members to pause or quit their membership to show support for instructors, who are fighting for fair wages and cleaner studios."
""If you can stomach it to pause or quit your membership, it will benefit you as a consumer as well as the instructors who are paid on average $16/hour to teach and who are NOT paid for instruction preparation, playlist curation, and cue perfection," the post reads. "CPY instructors deserve better conditions and better pay to provide for you, the high-paying consumer. You deserve to get what you pay for. At ~$200/month, you deserve a pristine studio with well-compensated instructors.""
"While details of the strike action remain unclear, in a separate subreddit dedicated to CorePower Yoga teachers, a graphic posted last month claims the striking staff are demanding $30/hour compensation for CorePower instructors, $20/hour for cleaners, and studios to be deep cleaned a minimum of four times a year, suggesting they currently aren't (alleged incidents of cockroaches, ringworm and black mold have also plagued the subreddit)."
CorePower Yoga instructors are considering strike action next month over low hourly pay and poor studio conditions. Instructors report being paid less per hour than the cost of a single class drop-in fee and receiving average pay around $16/hour without compensation for preparation, playlists, or cueing. A subreddit post urges members to pause or cancel memberships to support instructors and demand better wages and cleaner studios. A graphic circulated by teachers sets demands at $30/hour for instructors, $20/hour for cleaners, and deep cleaning at least four times yearly. Alleged hygiene incidents and a viral TikTok have amplified member attention.
