Ten minutes? Depending on the pose, this is not typical, but there are types of yoga where you do hold the poses for a long time. IME, it's not easy, and it's not very everyone (it's not for me).

Try the class. Just don't expect it to necessarily address your glute issues. Just go easy. The last thing you need is to injure yourself in some other way.
