Yoga = $$$

[demelza]

Holy man - 

So my sister is getting way into yoga as of late and she is looking so toned up!  Her stomach has a six pack now.  

Definitely motivated me to look at the yoga places near me.
It seems expensive here. The cheapest place offers 12 classes for $100 or 50 bucks for a month's membership or $500 for a year membership.  There is only like 3 studios in the area so I guess they can charge more.  I just never thought it would be quite that much of an expense.

I pay $60 for five classes.

That's a really awesome deal. My yoga studio charges $24/class with a 10-pack. I think it's $28 for a walk-in.

How often per week do you guys go to the studio?

yoga isn't bad try pilates.

I don't even want to know how much that costs lol.

I pay $8/week to go to the class my friend teaches. I practice at home the rest of the week. I'm cheap.

I pay $80/month with a student discount. Going rates are $100/mo around here, and I'm LCOL

Is that unlimited?

The stuido I go to is $99 for a month unlimited. I try to go to 6-9 classes a week. Drop in fee is $15. I'm sure there are cheaper ones in my city, but it is only 6 blocks from my place so the walking to and from is a nice perk. $500 for a year is a crazy good deal, IMO.

I'm never going to complain about the $5 drop in class I go to.

I do a 10 week session for $90 (so $9 per class).

Check your local parks & rec, they may have some inexpensive beginner classes. That's how I got started =)

I feel like I found a great studio. Instructors are good, it's kept at about 80-88 degrees so not insanely hot, and they have a schedule that works for me. I don't want to do the unlimited though because I don't go enough and I'm trying to get over an injury.

Yes, it is. I am interested in trying it but the cost is holding me back as well.

LCOL here: My studio charges $15 for a drop in, $100/10 class card, and $100/unlimited month.

For the equivalent of the cost of the nicest gym in town, I only get 4-6 yoga classes. I agree that it's expensive!
(But I love it.)

Check if any of the places have a "starter special". As in mine did an unlimited for $40 for the first month, so you can try it to see if you like a place first.

The YMCA has yoga.

Have you checked groupon and living social? A lot of studios have introductory deals that are cheap! But then once you use that up - the prices are what they are.
