If you've ever signed up for something and later discovered “surprise” charges, you know how frustrating it feels.
Unfortunately, some yoga studios operate the same way, advertising a base price, then tacking on fees for basic amenities, mats, or even workshop access. At Excel Yoga, we do things differently.
Here’s the truth about hidden costs in the local yoga scene—and how we keep it 100% transparent at Excel.
Common “Extras” at Other Yoga Studios
When researching yoga in Manteca or nearby cities like Tracy and Ripon, it’s not always easy to tell what’s included in your membership.
Here are some typical hidden costs you might encounter elsewhere:
Mat rentals: $2–$5 per visit
Props (blocks, bolsters, straps): Some studios charge to borrow or require you to bring your own
Workshops: Can cost $30–$50 each, even for members
Towel service or shower access: Sometimes an additional fee
Early cancellation penalties: Even with month-to-month memberships
These extras can turn a “$129/month” membership into something much pricier over time—without you even realizing it.
What Excel Yoga Includes (No Hidden Fees)
At Excel Yoga, your membership includes everything you need to show up and succeed:
Mats provided for every student
Props included: blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets
Unlimited access to all yoga styles: Vinyasa, Heated, Yin, and Slow Flow
No required gear purchases, just bring yourself
Our pricing is clearly listed and explained. Whether you're on a month-to-month or long-term plan, you'll know exactly what you're paying, and exactly what you're getting.
Optional Add-Ons? Clearly Marked and Optional
We do occasionally offer special events that are optional and separately priced, like:
Sound baths
Guest instructor workshops
Special focus classes (e.g., yoga for anxiety, inversions, breathwork)
But here’s the difference:
You’re not automatically charged
Pricing is listed clearly and up front
You’ll always have the choice to attend or skip
No fine print. No auto-enrollments. Just value-driven options when you’re ready to go deeper.
No Surprise Charges. Ever.
We believe trust starts with clarity. That’s why you won’t find:
Hidden annual fees
Processing charges
Surprise “studio maintenance” costs
Membership auto-renewals without your knowledge
When we say “$109/month,” we mean it. What you see is what you pay.
Final Thoughts: Transparency Builds Trust
When you’re investing in your health and peace of mind, the last thing you want is uncertainty around pricing.
At Excel Yoga, we’re proud to be one of the few studios in Manteca that offers full pricing transparency, no hidden fees, and a clear breakdown of what you receive.
Whether you're brand new to yoga or looking for a better studio experience—you’ll know exactly what you're paying for and why.
