Free Yoga Classes in Boston from January 12th to February 16th
The Copley branch of the Boston Public Library will begin hosting free yoga sessions in the Abbey Room within the McKim Building. To get there, enter the McKim Building entrance on Dartmouth St. This is the main entrance directly across from Copley Square. Here’s the Google Maps street view. Then take the stairs to the second floor. From there, if you’re facing towards Dartmouth St, the Abbey room is on your right. Here’s a map of the library.
These yoga classes will be offered only at noon on Tuesdays. All classes will be taught by Rebecca Pacheco, yoga instructor and author. Get her book, Do Your Om Thing: Bending Yoga Tradition to Fit Your Modern Life

The best part about all of this is that the classes are completely FREE!!!! So take advantage while you can. Not only is there free yoga, but you’ll be getting a nice dose of art as well. The Abbey room is full of paintings depicting the quest and achievement of the holy grail. So, free yoga, art, books, and the always lovely view of Copley Square… sounds like a pretty good Tuesday lunch break! It just may be the “holy grail” of all Tuesday lunch breaks (yay Dad jokes!).
Other branches of the Boston Public Library are also offering free yoga classes this winter. Here’s the full schedule:
- Gentle yoga for seniors, Hyde Park branch, Tuesdays at 10:45 a.m. (ends December 29)
- Radiant Child Yoga, South Boston branch, Thursdays at 4 p.m. (January 7 to January 28
- Yoga flow, Charlestown branch, Tuesdays at 1:30 p.m. (ends February 23)

You can also view the BPL’s calendar here and you can filter the calendar with the search function on the right. Search ‘yoga’ to see only the yoga class schedule. Or, you can download their calendar here and it will add their yoga class schedule right in to your iCalendar on your Mac or iPhone. Enjoy!
Finding Cheap Yoga Classes in Boston
When looking for inexpensive fitness classes in Boston, the best deals to be found are yoga classes. There are a good number of yoga studios around the city that offer classes all day long at multiple experience levels. If you’ve never taken a yoga class, often a good place to start is at a “community class”. These sessions are usually discounted – most are $5 – and are good introductions to the practice. If you’re more advanced and just want to find a good place to get your downward dog on, many offer new membership discounts and packages. Long time readers may remember Molly’s two week yogic adventure back in the summer of 2012 at Back Bay Yoga. Keep an eye out on daily deal sites such as Groupon and LivingSocial which often feature deals on yoga classes.

Before trying out these classes, be aware of what you’ll need. Some studios offer mats that you can borrow or rent. If thinking about previous users’ germs and sweat gets in the way of your namaste and you’d like to purchase your own, look in the fitness section of stores like Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Especially when you’re starting out, there’s absolutely no reason to spend more than $15-20 on a yoga mat.
Also check out those stores for yoga pants and a top to wear – think comfortable and breathable. Again, there’s zero reason to spend $82 on a pair of lycra capri pants no matter how trendy. I will never be convinced otherwise.
