FAIRHAVEN Fitness is alive and vital again at Cushman Park, Fairhaven this summer! The South Coast community can keep fit and stay healthy with free exercise classes taught by two of the top fitness instructors in the area.

Yoga in the Park will take place starting June 17 and continue for 10 weeks through Aug. 19 every Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. This is a gentle yoga series for all levels, designed to introduce newcomers to the basics of stretching and mindfulness and challenge yoga enthusiasts with a focus on compassion for the body.
