Emily (and sometimes friends) leads a hatha yoga routine fit for all levels including first timers.
Emily Johnson gained her 200-hr teaching certification at Kriya Temple of Yoga Chicago and has been teaching for 11 years. A Hatha yoga teacher and long-term student of yoga & meditation, her classes combine flow sequences with longer holds, conditioning the body and helping to restore mobility and pleasure to movement.

P. S. The hardest class to go to is your first one. Did you know it is so for us all? Yoga is meant to “meet you where you are,” we start from any degree of mobility and work (or play, if you like) from there. Mention if you’re new to yoga. Good teachers will be welcoming and just watchful enough over beginners.
