CorePower Yoga Opens Downtown Brooklyn Flagship at One Willoughby Square

Current assessment: The available evidence supports reporting that CorePower Yoga opened a new Downtown Brooklyn studio on Saturday, August 22, 2026, at 420 Albee Square W in One Willoughby Square. This is a documented expansion by the company rather than only a prospective lease or hiring plan: CorePower’s official location page is active, identifies the studio and address, and offers class booking and a founding membership.

Reported facts: In an August 21 announcement distributed through PR Newswire, CorePower said the Downtown Brooklyn site would open the following day and described it as a flagship location. The company said the studio joins its existing Brooklyn locations in Park Slope and Williamsburg. It placed the studio at the ground-floor/street-level retail space of One Willoughby Square, across from DeKalb Market Hall and Trader Joe’s.

CorePower’s announcement said the site has two practice rooms totaling 3,262 square feet, capacity for 60 mats, locker rooms and eight showers, and more than 95 weekly classes. It listed Yoga Sculpt, CorePower Strength X, CorePower Yoga 1, CorePower Yoga 2 and Hot Power Fusion among the planned formats. Those operational details are company claims and should be understood as such.

Supporting evidence: The strongest evidence is CorePower’s own current studio page. It lists the Downtown Brooklyn address, describes the site as being at street level of One Willoughby Square, displays a class-schedule entry point, and offers a “Founding All Access Membership” specifically for the new studio. The page also identifies a studio manager, further supporting the assessment that the location has moved beyond pre-opening promotion.

A separate Downtown Brooklyn Partnership quarterly report, published in late 2025, had already identified CorePower Yoga as an incoming tenant at 1 Willoughby Square with storefront frontage on Albee Square West. That earlier local-business record is consistent with the address and building subsequently reported by CorePower.

Limitations and competing evidence: The central opening announcement is a company-issued press release, not independent reporting or a government occupancy record. The active studio page provides meaningful corroboration of the location and commercial launch, but it does not independently establish that every announced feature, class count or capacity figure was available on opening day. Likewise, an active booking and membership page is strong evidence of operational intent and launch status, but it is not a direct observation of classes being held or of customer traffic.

The candidate date also required correction. August 21, 2026, was the publication and announcement date; CorePower stated that the studio would officially open on August 22, 2026.

Current conclusion: The most defensible present interpretation is that CorePower Yoga has launched a new Downtown Brooklyn flagship studio at One Willoughby Square, representing an expansion of its Brooklyn footprint. The available record supports the opening, address and affiliation with CorePower. It does not establish first-day utilization, the long-term performance of the location, or independent verification of all company-reported facility and scheduling specifications. Direct observation of the site, an independently published class schedule, or city occupancy documentation would materially strengthen verification of those remaining operational details.
