Jo Temte

Jo’s special interests regarding Yoga are working with the hands, feet, finding pain-free movement, building functional mobility and healthy aging.

Jo is an American Council on Exercise (ACE) group fitness certified and has been teaching group fitness for over 20 years! She’s led classes from step aerobics, HIIT, Zumba, kickboxing, weight training, to Yoga and Pilates. While she loves all styles of movement, she kept going back to Yoga and all it has to offer mind, body and spirit!

So, in 2018, she completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Alex Pfeiffer through the 21st Century Yoga on the Mat program in Madison, WI. Other certifications include: her Pilates basic mat certification from the Mind Body Institute, a 20-hour Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) training, and the Mind Body and Pain Free Movement Specialist certificates from ACE.Jo also enjoys working with at-risk youth and is the Director of Dane County Programming at Rise Above Yoga, whose mission is to provide safe, accessible, and trauma-informed yoga for incarcerated and justice-impacted communities to support resilience and rehabilitation on the journey from incarceration to re-entry.

Outside of the studio, you can find her in her garden or kayaking, paddle boarding, playing violin, or hiking with her family and dogs!
