FAQs

There’s no universal answer — it depends on your overhead, location, class size, and income goals. In most Canadian and US markets, drop-in rates range from $15 to $35 per class. Use the calculator above with your actual costs and attendance numbers to find a rate that covers expenses and pays you what you’re worth.

Class packs encourage commitment and give you more predictable revenue. A common approach is to offer a drop-in rate alongside 5-class and 10-class packs with 10–20% discounts. Students who buy packs tend to attend more consistently, which builds community and retention.

Unlimited memberships are typically priced to be attractive for students who attend 3 or more times per week. The calculator assumes 3x/week average usage — meaning the per-class cost to the student drops significantly, while you benefit from predictable monthly recurring revenue.

If the number feels above market rate, you have a few levers: increase the number of students per class, add more classes to your schedule, reduce your fixed costs, or adjust your income target. The sensitivity chart at the bottom shows exactly how many students you’d need at different price points.

A 20–30% margin is a solid starting point. This covers taxes, savings, equipment replacement, sick days, and slow months. Teaching yoga isn’t just about covering today’s costs — your pricing should sustain your practice long term.
