about us

what does “community powered” mean? UrbanCore was founded by students just like you - not instructors. In fact, when we’re in class we’ll likely be somewhere toward the back. we simply believe downtown Bakersfield deserves a place like this and we’re proud to be playing our role in creating this space - the intersection of students, instructors, and studio.

UrbanCore is located in the heart of town, between Dagny's Coffee Shop and the historic Fox Theater, the studio itself is the birthplace of Bakersfield's downtown yoga scene. steeped in a healthy history, the tradition continues now with UrbanCore.​
