Services
Serenity Yoga Center has served Bedford and local communities since opening in 2000. In 2001, Serenity Yoga Center was invited to be a Kripalu-affiliated studio. Our spacious studio is fully equipped with a variety of yoga props you may use to assist in your practice. We provide individualized attention and modifications so that everyone can practice at the level appropriate for them.
With donations from our students, the Serenity Yoga community has helped dozens of people continue to attend classes. Many of those we helped are now giving back and donating to the fund to help others. We started suggesting to our currently-enrolled students that they could donate a refund the studio owed them for a class that was canceled due to snow and that the money would be used to help classmates in need.
Conscious breathing - full diaphragmatic breathing, also known as Yogic breathing. Simple conscious breathing every day can have dramatic effects on the way we feel, on our outlook, and how we conduct ourselves in the face of challenges. Be aware of inhalation and exhalation and you become fully present - the breath is the key to 'staying in the moment'.
We are not offering Prenatal or Kid's Yoga classes at this time, but recommend these places that are. Our classes are for adults (ages 18 and over); young adults (ages 15-17) may be able to attend - prior approval is required. We add new classes when we have enough students interested - so if you're interested in early morning or mid-day classes, please contact us.
If you are new to our studio or cave only taken a drop-in class we invite you to try unlimited classes for 30 days for only $30! Attend any of our regularly scheduled weekly classes during the 30 days - see which ones suit you best. We will keep track of the start/end dates and will send an email to notify you when you are near the end of your 30 days.

This is an awesome yoga studio for all levels! I just started attending classes here about a month ago and I love it. The studio is calm, quiet and clean. All of the staff/teachers are very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. They offer a variety of classes everyday including in the evening which is key for me because I can go after work. They have a ton of yoga props (mats, pillows, blocks, belts, etc) so you never have to bring anything of your own if you don't want to/don't have. I would say the only downsides are that the studio is somewhat small (can accommodate around 15 people

There are many things to like about this yoga studio.
1) The environment is very welcoming and the staff very friendly.
2) It's a great place for beginners as there are multiple suitable class options.
3) There are lots of props which is fun.
4) In the month that I've attended, I never found it to be terribly crowded.
5) There's a great balance between the physical and spiritual components as there should be in yoga.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I tend to like faster pace, more athletic, maybe even heated, yoga and I didn't really find many

I went to this yoga studio for about a year (left because I moved). I love this place. The classes are about 1 hour and 15 minutes which is the perfect for me. They offer various class levels. The ones I have been to is "all level" and "intermediate". The instructors are one of the best yoga teachers I have had. They follow the yoga philosophy and never pushes their students to the point of possibly hurting themselves. With that said, teachers are able to adjust their class intensity based on request by students. My Thursday class with Nina is probably the best yoga class I

I tried several yoga studios before finding one that fit. Serenity Yoga has the care and concern you associate with a family business. It's truly a labor of love for Toni and her crew. They really made me feel welcome and comfortable asking questions, which was important to me as someone new to yoga.
The studio is well maintained with an abundance of props. Parking is a breeze.
I highly recommend taking a class with Asha. She's supportive and gently guides you to try just a little more each week. She also incorporates medical information and how yoga can help with the realities

This is where I got my start in the regular practice of yoga, and my heart will always feel it as a second home. Through regular practice twice a week (and weekly Weight Watchers meetings), I lost 80 lbs in 14 months, a true testament to the holistic benefits of yoga for the body, mind and spirit.
The beginner classes are true to their designation, a place to learn about yoga as a whole, not just somewhere to twist yourself into a pose for a few minutes and hope you can unwind from it safely. Classes were well adapted to all sizes, shapes and skill levels. Teachers always took the time to demonstrate

Where do i begin, this studio has it all!
I would consider myself an intermediate skill level. I have taken yoga on and off for years and tried many studios. While there are many that i do like, i have yet to find one where the classes and teachers create a connected space with absolute peace and kindness. They are incredibly caring and respectful of each individual's skill level.
Toni, the owner is an amazing person and a certified yoga teacher by the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. She can answer any questions you have about what is best for your practice, of course the teachers can

I really enjoyed this yoga studio. As someone new to yoga, instructors made me feel very comfortable learning the positions and understanding what yoga was about. Now that I don't live as close, I don't go but I do miss it. I am considering the occaasional drive just to get in some great relaxation sessions.

I look forward to my weekly class at Serenity. I attend the 730pm class-which is a great way to end my day. I take the Vinyasa class with Jim and always leave refreshed and feeling stronger. The pace is a bit slower than a hot yoga flow class yet still challenging- but it gives me a better opportunity to work on my poses. Only drawbacks is the studio is small and classes fill out quick but hopefully they will add more Vinyasa classes as more people inquirer.
