Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.
How much do yoga classes cost?
Single group sessions at yoga studios cost$15 to $20 on average. For private yoga training, you will likely spend between $30 and $70 on each lesson. Yoga classes mostly take place in a group setting, and the price per class depends on the location, yoga teacher’s knowledge and experience, and years of teaching.
How long is a yoga class?
On average, a yoga class is 75 to 90 minutes long. Many instructors say 90 minutes is simply how long it takes to pace through all the sacred yoga asanas, but a new shorter 60 minute class is quickly becoming popular with students.
What to wear to yoga class?
Most women prefer to wear tank tops or a sports bra that's made of a cotton and lycra (spandex) blend when they do yoga. Loose tee shirts and underwire bras are usually a no-no because they have a tendency to get in the way of movement.
For the bottoms, most women prefer to wear tights. These comfortable and stretchable pants will provide you with a full range of movement and allow your instructor to check your alignment. For slower-paced classes, you may be able to pull off wearing long skirts or stretchable harlem pants.
What to bring to yoga class?
Although many necessities are usually provided for you, there are a few things you may still want to bring yourself.
Here's what to bring to yoga class:
Comfortable yoga attire
Water bottle
Hand towel
Yoga mat
Change of clothes
Post-yoga snack
How often should you do yoga?
For those who are already quite active, doing yoga at least once or twice per week is recommended. For experienced practitioners, doing yoga every day is not uncommon. However, if you begin to be sore, consider taking a day or two off. Even if you only do you for one hour a week, you will experience the benefits of the practice.
How long does it take to get good at yoga?
There are many beginner yoga poses and sequences that you can get good at in your first yoga class. On a more spiritual level, it may take a lifetime to find the union between mind, body and spirit. You should expect to practice regularly for about six months before you feel confident that you can perform fundamental poses steadily and with some degree of proper form.

Siri helped me to design a bespoke daily workout routine, that can be done at home and without any equipment (stretches, body weight exercises etc).
After trying it for a month, I feel more flexible, have more energy, and it has helped my strength in the gym.
Siri also helped me learn yoga, which helps to decompress and relax after a long day at work. Would highly recommend!

I'm 76 yrs old and I've been taking dance lessons with Adrienne for several years now, it's been a great experience and a lot of fun!! We dance Country/Western, ECS, WCS, NC2Step, and some of the Ball Room Dances, she's teaches in a way that makes learning these dances easy. Well not easy, but doable!! I've lost some balance and agility with age, but Adrienne has done a marvelous job working around my problems and making dancing an enjoyable hobby for me.

It was great how passionate and excited the trainers were and their dedication to help you reach your goals. I trained for 3 months and it was totally worth it. I was even able to do some cool outdoor workouts with my trainer just to mix things up and when the weather was nice.
