Yoga & Fitness
Dockside Yoga & Fitness began in 2016 when a local instructor, inspired by the stunning Duxbury Bay views, started Saturday morning classes. Since then, we’ve grown to serve our community with an expanded schedule and staff. Practicing in Clifford Hall’s spacious, panoramic setting offers a chance to disconnect, breathe, and connect with nature. Drop in and experience the waterfront in a new way—we look forward to seeing you soon!
