Image of free yoga class on Boston Common.

Wondering what it’s like taking a free yoga class outdoors? There are some videos by Michelle Garcia that will give you an idea. Take a look at Free yoga classes at the Boston Common 2.

In another video, Garcia interviews yoga instructor Genevieve Oba about the classes. Oba also teaches at Yoga Mandala in Winchester and at Gold’s Gym in Arlington.

She says that everyone should try yoga. Yoga is for everyone! Even if you don’t think you’re flexible!

Summer 2016: Free Yoga Classes in Boston

A sepia image showing one of many free yoga classes in Boston.

Looking for free yoga classes in Boston? You’ve come to the right place.

Memorial Day weekend may be the the unofficial start of summer. The summer solstice is the official start of summer. But for me, once the 4th of July rolls around, then it’s truly summer. So here we are! In the heart of summer. Bring on the picnics, barbecues, trips to the beach and of course, lots of outdoor free yoga classes in Boston! This year class locations expand beyond the Boston area to the South Coast and includes Fairhaven.

While the listing of free yoga classes is year-round now, one for each season, this is the 5th Annual listing of free yoga classes for the summer. Remember there are Meetups in the area to try out. Hands To Heart Center Yoga – Yoga for the People provides free yoga classes for people living with poverty and trauma in Boston. Check out their website and Twitter for class schedules.

There are also free yoga classes being offered by a new group called Breathe Boston. They offer individual or group yoga and meditation classes.  You can sign up for classes at their location or have them come to you for a private class in your own home.

+ + +

Here are some general suggestions for those of you who may be new to taking free yoga classes in Boston that are outdoors. All classes listed here are free or donation based.

Sometimes mats and props might be available to you, but don’t count on it. If they are available, there may not be enough for everyone. So bringing your own mat, water, towel, etc., is the general rule.

Double check if the weather is bad. Usually the Facebook page and/or website will give an update if the class will be cancelled. Sometimes classes are brought indoors instead.

Most outdoor summer classes start in June or July and are over by the end of September.

Based on my sources, most classes take place on the days listed, but there can be gaps in the schedule for certain weeks, so you may want to double check first before you go. Also, most classes last for an hour, but when I am not sure, I do not put an end time.

+ + +

The Free Yoga Boston Community on Facebook is updated most everyday and more than 1000 have “Liked” the page.  Thank you! Check each day for all sorts of yoga news in addition to free yoga classes in Boston.

free yoga classes BostonI hope you’ve been enjoying all the free yoga classes this summer. I certainly have, but did not go to all that I hoped. Luckily there is still some time!

One thing that’s nice about these classes is that not all of them end with the summer. Some are indoors and will continue.

If things continue with the trends that I’m seeing, I would not be surprised to see a lot more free yoga classes popping up even through the colder months, but with different themes.

On the Free Yoga Boston Facebook page, I update it several times a day with with news about yoga, wellness and good living. Please “Like” it and make sure you keep up with the news! I’ll let you know about free yoga classes that may pop up here and there.

You can also sign up for the mailing list to get more information about free classes, special events and offers.

There are three free yoga classes coming up that I thought deserved their own separate post. As with most free yoga classes, bring your own mat, towel and water.
