Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.
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.

I loved how I was being asked the day before the lesson which bodyparts I’d like to work on! This gave me a chance to express to my teacher, in this case Sharon,what needs I have and also helped me to learn how to work on those parts by myself! I felt after the work out every single time good and my body felt relaxed but awake after all!

Kai is masterful at integrating corrective exercise, yoga, and mindfulness into his fitness teachings. For the past 4 months, my goals with him have included muscle growth, endurance, and living a healthy lifestyle. Within this timeframe, he has used my goals as a template for the way he approaches our time together. I always leave the class with a better understanding of how to feel my best emotionally and physically. I use this knowledge every day now, even in workouts outside of our weekly meetups. Knowing how much he has accommodated my needs and educated me on engaging muscle groups, I am certain he is an outstanding choice for anyone looking to heal, prevent injury, or gain strength and mobility.
