cheap or free yoga in vancouver bc

I love yoga but have gotten to the point where I think the prices are becoming a joke.

The yoga studio owners much be raking in the dough by charging people on average between $10 - 20 a class!! They upsell you on the $120 monthly membership, by the time you had HST....yikes. My favourite line is, "This is the best option for you even if you only go 2x per week." Ha!

The quality of instruction isn't even that good in many classes, which have 30 - 40+ people crammed together like sardines! What kind of overhead do studios like Semperviva believe they incur to be charging so much? And then the weekend workshops with out-of-town guest instructors....don't even get me started on the high prices they charge for those. It's a bit of a racket.

I try to practice on my own but it's nice to go to a class once in a while. So bummed that my gym closed as my membership included yoga classes.

Does anyone know of any reasonably priced yoga classes (preferably west of Main St) with free street parking? I'm familiar with Lululemon's free classes but they can get a little cramped and nuts - especially the West 4th location, which seems to attract a lot of students.

Signed,

Sick of paying outrageous prices for yoga

Check out if the community centres have any yoga classes or organize your own group.

I looove Ravit's Yoga class. Mondays at 5:45. address: Balance studio, #105-4338 Main St, Vancover. 3-7 people, 90 minutes, 10$.
Check it out.

Nice try, Ravit.

On a serious note, the OP mentions $10-20/class being too expensive, so I don't think your post helps by suggesting a $10 per session class.

Your best bet would be groupon-type vouchers. Social Shopper typically advertises $20 for a month of unlimited yoga/pilates at Inner Space every couple of months. They are pretty good.

Another option would be to keep an eye out for charity yoga classes by donation such as: http://www.forumvancouver.com/threa...e-fitness-nutrition-classes-by-donation.2453/

Sorry if I missed someone writing this already, but do you know there's FREE yoga in all the Lululemon stores? Check their site for specific times. I went tonight and it was great, my body loves me

Hey, Have you checked out Steve Nash Sports Club.

They do have many yoga classes included in the membership, as well as pilates and spin classes, and obviously you get the gym as well.

If you are a student you will get a super good deal right now, or if you prepay for the year you will get second year for free. or even come try out the gym for free!

Come to this! The entrance is in the alley and right now there a small spray painted sign that says 45 west hastings in grafitti on the door.
