Beginner yoga in ChicagoWalk into any yoga class with confidence.
Whether you're brand new to yoga, returning after a break, or want to understand poses instead of just copying them, this four-class series will help you walk into any yoga class with confidence.

What to expect
You'll learn the common yoga poses, how to practice safely with good alignment, and more about yoga's traditions. No flexibility or experience is needed.
Josephine Ferorelli teaches it. She has taught for 16 years, with a background in alignment, therapeutics and sustainable body mechanics, and she uses props and modifications so the practice works for every body.
