Yoga was founded in India as a non-competitive, no-impact, safe way to get in shape and relieve stress. It has quickly become a mainstream way of staying healthy in America with 16 million Americans including yoga in their weekly workout routines. Stars like Madonna and Oprah Winfrey swear by the benefits of yoga. New Bedford and the South Coast of Massachusetts have seen a major growth in yoga studios and independent instructors.
This article provides a list of yoga classes in the South Coast area for each day of the week. I hope it will be a “living” document and grow with inputs from our readers. It is important for you to contact the yoga instructor to ensure the class schedule is still current. Below the schedule is a list of the the yoga studios in the area ad their contact information. If you know of a yoga studio or classes please e-mail info@newbedfordguide.com so we can include them on the list. Please include details like location, time, fee and contact information and any other details you feel will be useful. Thanks to Erin Macedo and Pam Teves who were major contributors to this list!
