Turn On the Red Light

Welcome to the Next Era of Post-Class Recovery

Warmer muscles, brighter skin, better sleep, and a recovery experience that feels as good as savasana — this is post-class recovery, upgraded. CorePower is teaming up with HigherDOSE, the revolutionary wellness brand blending nature-inspired rituals with biohacking technology, to bring red light recovery to life — on the mat, after class, and at home. It’s a natural extension of the practice: “Yoga creates the opening and awareness in my body, and red light and infrared support and amplify that work,” says HigherDOSE cofounder and co-CEO Lauren Berlingeri.

We’re going all-in in recovery. Expect red light-infused classes and a curated selection of HigherDOSE’s cult-fav products on our shop site and in select studios nationwide, so you can experience this wellness ritual for yourself.

Red light doesn’t just boost your skin

What’s red light therapy? Red light therapy is a multitasker that supports cellular regeneration in a way that improves blood flow and speeds recovery, making it a must-have among fitness-forward enthusiasts. “Recovery felt faster, but more importantly, it felt deeper,” observes Berlingeri. “My body stopped feeling like it was constantly catching up, and mentally I noticed a calm coming online much sooner.” Red and near-infrared light provides a gentle, non-invasive treatment that supports energy, reduces inflammation, and promotes brighter, healthier-looking skin by promoting collagen production and cellular repair. 

Red light therapy might sound futuristic, but it’s been trusted in wellness and recovery spaces for decades. What’s new is how seamlessly it fits into modern recovery routines, especially when paired with movement and mindfulness. In the early 2000s, it was registered by the FDA, so it’s not necessarily new – it’s just finally being appreciated for its potential.

Your recovery, upgraded

You’re probably more than familiar with the at-home red light face masks that came onto the scene in the mid-2010s and skyrocketed in popularity five years ago. So think of the HigherDOSE Full Body Red Light Mat as a face mask for your whole body. The mat is designed for full-body rejuvenation. With HigherDOSE’s biohacking technology, you can jumpstart recovery with a nervous system reset and sleep-supporting wind-down that benefits your whole body. “I look at what gives me the biggest return with the least friction,” says Berlingeri. “As a busy mom and CEO, time matters, so I gravitate toward practices that support my body without adding more to my schedule. Being able to do red light while stretching or moving through yoga is a huge win because it allows me to stack rituals and be efficient with my time.”

Instead of overstimulating your body, red and near-infrared light work gently beneath the surface, encouraging balance and restoration from the inside out. Specifically, red and near-infrared light may help lower cortisol (your stress hormone), aid muscle recovery, support serotonin and endorphin release for a mood boost, encourage circadian rhythm balance for better sleep and support cellular energy that contributes to skin radiance.

Movement deserves the smartest recovery

Imagine moving through your practice bathed in a warm red glow, where the shift from effort to ease begins before class even ends.

Starting mid April, select CorePower Yoga studios will host red light–themed classes every week where HigherDOSE’s full-body red light mats will be installed on the studio walls to immerse students in red light and near-infrared light while they move through a yoga class. Unlike targeted face masks or panels, the wall-mounted mats are designed with wide-beam coverage, bathing the body in clinically studied red and near-infrared wavelengths that support cellular energy and muscle recovery from head to toe, no stillness required. This immersive recovery moment is designed to help students transition seamlessly from movement to restoration. The lighting, the vibe, the recovery ritual — it all works together. After class, you’ll feel deeply restored.

And recovery doesn’t stop when you leave the studio. CorePower is also launching a curated HigherDOSE collection that’s available online and in select studios. Think of it as your recovery toolkit – built for studio days and rest days alike – featuring our favorite self-care tools: 

• Full-body Red Light Mat: Designed for rejuvenation from head to toe, supporting skin, mood, muscle recovery, and circadian balance.

• Infrared Sauna Blanket & Insert: For that deep, detox-style sweat without leaving home.

• Red Light Face Mask: Supports skin radiance and pairs perfectly with a chill playlist and 10 quiet minutes.

• Serotonin Soak: Because sometimes recovery means getting off your feet and into the bath.

• Supercharge Copper Body Brush: Like dry brushing, but better.

• Light-activated Glow Serum: Designed to work with red light for a luminous, hydrated look.   

• Light-activated Oxytocin Oil: A grounding, sensorial oil that turns recovery into a ritual.

• Transdermal Magnesium Spray: Supports muscle relief, restorative sleep, and a balanced body.

Wellness that works wonders

What makes red light therapy so compelling is how easy it is to integrate into your routine. “My advice is to start small and choose one practice that makes you feel noticeably better and fits into your real life,” suggests Berlingeri. “Consistency comes from simplicity, not doing everything at once.” 

There’s nothing new to learn – just space to slow down, lie back, and let your body do what it does best: restore. Whether you’re discovering red light therapy for the first time in the studio or building a recovery ritual at home, consider this your invitation to tune in and recover smarter.
