The private lessons sound intriguing, though. Are they terribly expensive?
Yes, they are $$$ (but I'm in California, maybe would be cheaper elsewhere). My first 7 sessions were a special pre-Christmas deal, $75/hour. The regular price is $100/hr, but if you buy 5 sessions it is 10% off or $90/hr. This is vs fancy yoga studio which is unlimited classes for $75/month (but still a bad value for me personally given the crowding) or the Y which has 3 yoga classes per week I could attend in theory (schedule-wise), plus lap pool, weight room, cardio room & other group fitness for $36/mo (great value). The Ys yoga isn't terribly good and right now with my cycling training schedule, the class times don't really work for me, but Im still a member because of the lap pool. The other key thing for me right now with the cycling schedule- the private yoga is 5:30 am and doesn't interfere with anything else.
