Devens community’s free outdoor yoga series returns to Rogers Field

Free yoga returned to Rogers Field in Devens with a Wednesday night series that runs from June 17 through Aug. 26, giving the community a steady summer fixture instead of a one-off class. The June 24 session was scheduled for 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., and Dragonfly Wellness Center describes the program as free outdoor yoga on Rogers Field.

The series is in its ninth year and is sponsored by MassDevelopment, with support from IridESSENCE Community Health Collaborative and Dragonfly Wellness Center. Dragonfly says three certified yoga teachers lead the classes each week, and the one-time registration covers the full summer season. After that first sign-up, participants receive a bracelet for easier access.

Weather is built into the plan. If conditions turn bad, classes move indoors to the Bob Eisengrein Community Center across the parking lot, and Dragonfly says that means the class will never be cancelled. Participants are asked to bring a yoga mat, water, sunscreen and bug spray, and portable restrooms are available in the parking lot.

The setting is part of the draw. Devens Community describes Rogers Field as a 44-acre former military parade field used for camps, events and sporting competitions, all within a community that includes about 1,700 acres of open space. Devens is also marking its 30th anniversary in 2026, adding another layer of local identity to a program that has become part of the town’s summer rhythm.

MassDevelopment previously described free Rogers Field yoga as an eight-week summer collaboration and identified Dragonfly owner Anne Ferguson as the source of instructors. That long-running structure helps explain why the series keeps landing as a community calendar anchor: it is free, it is recurring every Wednesday, and it is set up to keep going whether the class stays outside on Rogers Field or moves inside to the Bob Eisengrein Community Center.
