33 Reasons To Love Yoga

Here at Ignite, we love yoga so much that we practice it everyday and train others to do the same. And to share what works for them! We are enthusiastic about teacher training.

Experience the benefits of yoga and more! It’s all about finding and sharing your genuine voice, developing practical in-class skills, making lifelong friends, deepening your practice, and supporting people on their journey.

This is yoga off the mat!

We love:

That you can feel like a carefree kid when doing happy baby and child’s pose!

How it is, and so isn’t, a fad.
How, as one student said, “It makes me feel like a unicorn mermaid floating thru cotton candy clouds.”
How yoga teaches functional anatomy- know your parts- and how to use ‘em!
