Let’s not mince words here—yoga is expensive. And while I totally believe that it’s worth every penny, it’s still nice to get a deal here and there. So I’ve put together a week-long schedule of free or reduced-cost classes to try. It’s a great chance to experience new teachers and save some change. (Some of these studios have more than one free day—so check out their websites for more info.)
Monday: Check out this gorgeous studio in Roger’s Park to start off your cheap week! Imagine Yoga Studio hosts a level 2 pay-what-you-can class on Mondays. 6-7.15pm.
Tuesday: Hit up Moksha’s cool space in Logan Square for a Karma Class. It’s only $7, and you get some of the best teaching in town. 4.00-5.30pm.
Wednesday: Head over to YogaNow and enjoy their excellent Donation Yoga class. It’s conveniently timed to drop by right after work, and they ask yogis to pay what you can. So if it’s $5 or $10, they’ll take it! 6.30-7.30pm.
Thursday: Take a ride on the blue line into funky Wicker Park, and enjoy Nature’s Donation yoga class. When you’re done, drop into Adobo for a killer margarita. (What? You earned it!) 4-5.15pm.
Friday: Zip up to Lakeview and give Namaskar Yoga’s sliding scale class a try. Perfect timing for a quick class before a fun Friday night. 6.10-7.30pm.
Saturday: Options abound here, so I just picked my favorite free class option. YogaView’s Elston location hosts an incredible community class. These are usually taught by their Teacher Training alum, so they’re pretty fab. 2-3.15pm.
Sunday: If you haven’t tried Kundalini yoga, this is your shot. Spirit Rising Yoga hosts a community Kundalini class from 5-6pm.
Appreciate the tips! I just saw that Moksha's Logan Square location is having a "Bring a Friend for Free" promo for the entire month of February. The flyer says: "Mention the BFFF promotion and for each paying student (drop-in, class package or membership), bring one friend per class for free."
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca! Imagine, A Yoga Studio has just changed all of their prices for all classes to $10! Also, Imagine will still offer one donation class a week on Fridays and the free Community Class on Saturdays!
