Vinyasa Yoga with Jo Beth
Jo Beth Kavanaugh is a 500 hour trained RYT with experience teaching group as well as private instruction. This class is an intermediate level, giving options for beginners as well as for more advanced yoga students. A typical class would consist of breathing exercises or meditation, a warm up and stretching, different flow sequences, and then a winding down before the end of class.
Class Description:
Jo Beth has been teaching a class in Madison Town Park for the last few months every Friday morning and would love to continue on teaching indoors at The Hall on Foster. This class would be more of an intermediate class as there are many gentle and beginner yoga classes in Madison but this would meet the needs of people who would like to have a little bit more strenuous and challenging classes.
