Pricing for unlimited month /year passes

Opening my own studio and trying to decide on “fair” pricing for unlimited month and or year passes! Right now i have a 10 class pass for $130 or drop in for $15. But i just had somebody say they would much rather buy an unlimited month pass. TYIA!

Yoga at equinox

I am a yoga teacher, and I’m curious to hear from people who have practiced yoga at equinox gym. I would like to know what types of classes they have, but would rather find out through people online, then paying their huge membership fee. I would like to know how similar they are compared to the typical classes that are offered at places such as CorePower, yoga 6, hot 8, trufusion, and other chains. Any opinion is appreciated, thanks so much!

In my mind this is an unspoken rule of yoga

​ That you don’t step on a yoga mat that isn’t yours. Thoughts?

My GF made a photo. How this sign is called?

Even doing 20 mins of yoga is better than doing nothing.

I have depression, there are days when I can't get out of bed even if I need to. I'd skip exercise for 2-3 days and then do a ton of it on the fourth day. I realised if I do yoga for one hour, I wouldn't have the energy to do anything else around the house. But if I do just for 15-20 mins I still have energy to do stuff around the house and leave some free time for myself feeling like I've conquered the world. Weight loss is not really the goal for me, being more fit and flexible is the goal.

Questions from a beginner

I have three random questions so I decided to combine them in one post. Would appreciate answers from people who has experience🙏🏽 1. If I do reclined butterfly pose while reading my book in bed, will it help with my butterfly when I get on the mat? (My hips are very stiff) 2. It seems to be pretty hard for me to practice with just 1 mat, my knees hurt. So I put another thick one under my yoga mat. Is there any way I can train (?) my knees to be able to practice with just one mat? 3. I get a weird sharp headache when doing cat-cow (when switching from cat to cow), what can cause that?

Unrealistic Comparisons

Just writing to remind myself and others that many beautifully choreographed flows that you see here, on youtube, and on tiktok were performed by gymnasts and dancers. I’ve watched too many videos getting frustrated comparing it to myself only to dig a little deeper to see the poster say they were a gymnast or dancer their entire adolescence. What they’re doing is impressive and possibly aspirational, but remember like everything else on the internet: you only see the good side. You didn’t see these posters practice for years a profession that ultimately is not yoga. Focus on you! Your breath, your small victories, and your daily practice - no matter how simple <3

What’s yoga? Cause it’s definitely not a ‘workout’.

Some styles of yoga require lots of exertion, raise the heart rate, and are physically challenging - leading to strength and flexibility. But, of course, yoga isn’t *just* a ‘workout’ like a spin class or Pilates class. I’ve heard (and I agree with) “you can’t take a ‘photo’ of yoga”… just the same way you can’t take a photo of ‘meditation’. You can take a photo of someone seated cross-legged with their eyes closed, but only they know truly know if they’re actually meditating. You can take a photo of someone doing a handstand, but only they truly know if they’re doing yoga.
