Questions & Answers about Jeg går på yoga hver tirsdag for å slappe av.

Why is går used here? In English we say “I go to yoga”, but går also means “walk”, right?

Yes, å gå basically means “to walk”, but it is also the default everyday verb for “go” when you talk about regularly going somewhere (especially nearby or as a routine).

• Jeg går på yoga hver tirsdag.
  = I go to yoga every Tuesday. (habit, routine)
• Jeg går på jobb.
  = I go to work. (often implies by walking, but not always heavily stressed)

If you want to emphasise travelling (by car, bus, plane, etc.) rather than just the routine, you can use å dra or å reise:

• Jeg drar på ferie. – I’m going (leaving) on vacation.
• Jeg reiser til Norge. – I’m travelling to Norway.

In your sentence, går is just the natural, neutral choice for a regular activity like a weekly yoga class.

Why is it på yoga and not til yoga or just yoga?
