Joseph Arden

Prior to yoga, Joe’s practice was primarily sitting at a desk, hunched over a computer. Needless to say, his first yoga class was an eye-opener. Joe has explored several schools of Hatha Yoga including Forrest, Yin, and Iyengar. Joe finished his 200 hour yoga teacher certification at Bloom Yoga Studio in June 2016. In addition, Joe has been focusing on Trauma-Informed Yoga (TIY) working with inmates in Cook County Jail and also teaching chair yoga to seniors. Joe’s class puts an emphasis on safety, breath, and alignment as the foundation to a healthy yoga practice. Joe is married and has three daughters. In his free time, Joe can be found hiking, in the garden, or strumming a guitar.
