If you're just starting yoga in Manteca, you might be wondering:
“Should I just do drop-ins, or is a membership actually worth it?”
You're not alone. Many new students begin with drop-in classes to test the waters. But once you start attending regularly, the math begins to shift.
Let’s break it down so you can choose the option that saves you the most—based on how often you plan to show up.
Drop-In Yoga Rates at Excel Yoga
At Excel Yoga, our drop-in rate is:
$25 per class
This is typical for high-quality yoga studios in the Manteca area, especially those with certified instructors, small class sizes, and a calming environment.
Drop-ins are great for flexibility and spontaneity, but they can add up fast.
Example:
2 classes/week = $200/month
3 classes/week = $300/month
If you're planning to come more than once a week, it's worth doing the math.
The Cost Per Class with a Membership
With an unlimited membership, the more you attend, the less you pay per class.
Let’s break it down:
Attend 2x/week (8 classes/month): $13–$22 per class
Attend 3x/week (12 classes/month): $9–$15 per class
Attend 4x/week (16+ classes/month): $7–$11 per class
That’s a huge difference compared to $25/class.
Plus, with a membership, you also get access to:
All class styles (Vinyasa, Heated, Yin, Slow Flow)
Special events and workshops
A welcoming, supportive yoga community
Who Are Drop-Ins Best For?
Drop-ins might be the better option if you:
Travel often and can’t commit
Are just testing yoga for the first time
Prefer to attend only once in a while
Want total flexibility with no commitment
They're a great starting point, but not the most cost-effective for long-term progress.
Who Are Memberships Best For?
Memberships are the clear winner if you:
Plan to attend 2+ times per week
Want to build consistency and results
Are looking for a full-body, long-term wellness tool
Want to save money over time
They’re built for people who are ready to make yoga part of their lifestyle, and who want to get the most value from every class.
Final Thoughts: It Depends on How Often You Show Up
If you're a casual yogi or just exploring, drop-ins are a solid short-term option.
But if you're committed to feeling better, moving easier, and showing up weekly, membership pays off fast.
