I agree with all of you shaking your heads right now, it&#8217;s a high price to pay, especially if you&#8217;re planning on attending classes regularly. Fortunately, there are options available that allow you to start relaxing without dishing out your life savings. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning on maintaining your yoga practice, you should definitely purchase bulk passes offered in groups of five, 10 or 20. If you want to go more than twice a week, consider buying a monthly pass. Either option works out to be much cheaper than the $18 drop-in rate. Most yoga studios also offer student rates and energy exchanges, where you work at the yoga studio in exchange for yoga classes.<\/p>\n<p>Look out for community classes taught by teachers-in-training. They are significantly cheaper and you&#8217;re giving a teacher-in-training the opportunity to build their teaching experience. Some studios also offer karma classes where you pay by donation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/05\/21\/is-yoga-too-expensive\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Is Yoga Too Expensive?<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/05\/21\/is-yoga-too-expensive\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permanent link to this entry\">Permalink<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/forward\/19482656\/\" title=\"Send this entry to a friend via email\">Email this<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/05\/21\/is-yoga-too-expensive\/#comments\" title=\"View reader comments on this entry\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filed under: Advice, Happiness, Health, Fitness, Fit Yoga The average rate of a drop-in yoga class in North America is $18.
