COLI Quarter 3 has been released!

Yoga Prices Have Customers Saying ‘Namaste’

The price for a one-hour, drop-in yoga class is one of the newer items in the Cost of Living Index (COLI), introduced in 2018. With only two years of historical data when the pandemic hit in early 2020, the COLI team stopped pricing the local yoga classes as yoga studios, like many other businesses, had to shut down. Quarter 3, 2021 is the first time we have priced current yoga rates since the pandemic. Over the last four publications, we kept the rates equal to the pre-pandemic prices.
