CorePower Yoga says it expects to open more than 20 studios in 2026 and anticipates a similar annual pace going forward. The planned sites include new locations in Brooklyn, Miami and Nashville, as well as first-time entries into Long Island and New Jersey.
CorePower Yoga expects to open more than 20 studios in 2026, adding locations in markets including Brooklyn, Miami and Nashville while entering Long Island and New Jersey, the company told Athletech News. The expansion would extend the footprint of a chain that already operates more than 220 studios across 23 states and Washington, D.C.
The planned sites include flagship studios in Downtown Brooklyn, Coral Gables in Miami and The Gulch in Nashville. CorePower is also entering New Jersey with a planned Hoboken studio and expanding in Long Island, where it has already opened a location in Roslyn. Long Beach, California, is another first-time market cited in the report, and a studio there has opened this year.
The company says it has signed 20 leases for 2026, with 18 of those locations planned as new builds in residential or mixed-use developments. The company anticipates opening more than 20 new studios annually going forward, according to Athletech News. That is a stated expectation; the report does not provide a complete address-by-address schedule or confirm that every planned site is under construction.
CorePower says new studios will generally have practice rooms for 30 to 35 mats, upgraded locker rooms and larger communal areas. The company is also seeking locations near coffee shops, juice bars and other wellness businesses. It has already opened studios this year in Ardmore, Pennsylvania; Long Beach and Del Mar Highlands, California; and Roslyn, New York.
A Larger Studio Footprint
The plan would add a sizable number of sites to an established chain and give CorePower a stronger presence in several dense urban and suburban markets. For students, the announced locations could make the company’s classes more accessible in communities that currently have fewer or no CorePower studios. The impact will depend on which leases become operating studios and when they open.
The expansion also signals that physical locations are a priority under CEO Dan Lynn, who took over in July. The former Inspire Brands executive said he intended to accelerate studio growth. CorePower’s chief growth officer, Abby Gilbertson, described the current rollout as based on years of planning and demand the company says it has seen in local communities.
CorePower is emphasizing shared space as well as class capacity: larger communal areas are intended to give members more room before and after class. The company has also broadened its programming beyond yoga to include strength training, cardio, mobility and recovery. Those features indicate how it is positioning studios, though the company has not said how the additions will affect membership, class availability or operating costs.
Growth Under New Leadership
CorePower was founded in 2002 and has grown to more than 220 studios. When Lynn’s appointment was announced in the summer, he said he planned to “listen, learn and build” as the company accelerated growth. At that time, the company had roughly 20 studios in development, according to the source report.
The expansion follows other efforts to broaden the in-studio experience. CorePower has partnered with HigherDose to place red and near-infrared light panels in select studios and with Oura on a program intended to use biometric data to inform class recommendations. The report does not say whether those offerings will be included at the planned 2026 locations. Yoga remains central to the company’s offering, alongside its newer fitness and recovery programming.
““Our 2026 studio expansion reflects years of strategic planning and disciplined groundwork.””
— Abby Gilbertson, CorePower Yoga chief growth officer
Opening Dates Still Pending
The company has not provided exact opening dates for each planned 2026 studio, and the available report does not name all 20 leased locations. It is also unclear whether every lease will result in an opening on the anticipated schedule. The expectation of more than 20 openings annually going forward describes the company’s plan, not a confirmed number of completed openings for later years.
CorePower has not disclosed projected investment, staffing needs, membership targets or expected revenue from the expansion. The report also does not specify which planned locations will include wellness technology partnerships or whether all studios will follow the same design.
2026 Sites Move Toward Opening
The next milestones are the buildout and opening of the leased studios, including the planned locations in Brooklyn, Coral Gables, The Gulch and Hoboken. CorePower has not announced a full opening calendar in the source report, so specific dates and any changes to the site list remain to be disclosed. The company says it expects the expansion to continue at a pace of more than 20 studios a year, making the 2026 openings an early measure of Lynn’s growth strategy.
