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.

Mark S.
Kacy is an amazing person full of energy and life. She inspires so many people via her Yoga teachings, classes, and retreats. I once was a doubter of Yoga, thankfully, Kacy convinced me to try one class. Yoga has changed my life. I work in a stressful environment and the relaxation from both the physical and mental aspects of Yoga helps me tremendously to cope with stress. Her vast knowledge of the art, the ability to easily teach, and passion for Yoga instantly clams any hesitation you may have. I will never be as flexible as others and I sometimes wonder why such amazing person would want to teach me. The answer is simple. Her love of Yoga with constant positive reinforcement to help you strive to be the best you can be is her life’s passion. Another amazing aspect I think some might want to know, Kacy teaches private classes. I have yet to take a public class, but I am going to be put to the test very soon on one of her Yoga retreats. If anyone has hesitation about Yoga, try a private class. Kacy has the ability to create a Yoga secession based upon your ability whereas in public classes, she has to assess the whole group and guide based upon the level and abilities of the whole. I’m sure private classes are not for everyone, but its just another amazing aspect of her business. Thank you Kacy!
