Affordable Yoga

So, it's new years and we all try to make resolutions. Two most common are getting in shape and saving money. Well, they are both fine goals, but what do you do if your new fitness regime is expensive?

Yes, practicing yoga regularly at a studio can get pretty pricey. Before you know it you could be spending hundreds per month on yoga classes (believe me I've been there).

Here are some tips on being able to practice yoga and not break your bank account:

1. Find FREE classes. Most studios offer a free first class to new students, so use them! Many studios also offer a free class per week or a donation only class where you can give as little as $5 per class. (not to throw in an advertisement, but myself and 2 friends teach a free class every Sunday night at Emmaus Yoga)

2. Class cards! Usually the more classes you buy in advance then cheaper each class gets. So, evaluate how often you take classes and figure out which class card is right for you. Sometimes you can get a class card for $10 per class. Also try and find a studio that offers expiration date-free cards. Most studios put expiration dates on their cards, after all they are also running a business, so you can't blame them.

3. Yoga Glo. This is the most awesomest website ever. You can get a 15 day free trial and then after that its only $18/month to take as many online yoga classes you want from the coolest instructors on the planet!!! AND....if you have a fancy HD TV with Tivo, you can stream it into your TV.

4. Yoga Videos. I am a fan of videos, but sometimes they can seem boring after you do the same one over and over, but they are an inexpensive option.

So, you see Yoga can be accessible without the $$$$$$$
