Hatha Yoga Hatha yoga refers to a set of physical exercises known as asanas or postures. Sequences of asanas are designed to align your skin, muscles, and bones. The postures also open the many channels of the body-especially the main channel, the spine-so that energy can flow freely.
Hatha is also translated as ha meaning "sun" and tha meaning "moon." These are meant to be the balance of masculine aspects-active, hot, sun-and feminine aspects-receptive, cool, moon-within all of us. Hatha yoga is a path that works toward creating balance and uniting opposites. In the physical body Hatha helps develop a balance of strength and flexibility. Learning to balance our effort and surrender in each pose is part of that yogic path.
Other forms of yoga such as Vinyasa are based in Hatha practice.

Yin Yoga with Chakra Therapy
Ignite Yoga Center is the only yoga studio in the area to offer Yin Yoga with Chakra Therapy. Yin Yoga is beneficial to the bones and the connective tissues such as joints and ligaments. Yin Yoga targets these areas by providing prana (life energy) to help sooth, heal and realign the joint and ligament system.
Yin Yoga is "passive". Simpler poses are held longer than other forms of yoga. The breath is kept steady and soft to the point of meditation. The benefits of the extended retention of the poses are that it lubricates and creates more space in the joints. The quiet harmony of deep, rejuvenating holds, joined with easy, uniform breaths; infuse the ligaments and connective tissue with life energy.
Yin Yoga might at first seem boring or tedious. The holds can actually become quite challenging. The resulting outcomes of released tension and pain will affirm the benefits.
Yin Yoga is suitable for any level student because there are many modifications that can be given and the slow pace allows the practitioner to achieve a comfortable position for their own body. Our smaller yoga room, Agni is equipped with special lights that correspond to the colors of the Chakras (energy centers of the body).
Starting with the first Chakra and working up to the seventh the energy centers are further stimulated by the corresponding colors relating to each Chakra. This can lead to a more balanced Chakra system and accelerated healing of the bones, joints and ligaments.
We are very pleased to bring the very healthful practice of Yin Yoga to our community.

Kundalini Inspired We live in a supercharged era. The vibrational frequency of the planet is accelerating to the frequency of the Heart Center. We need to get out of our head and elevate ourselves to the fourth chakra level. In order for us to live a calm, prosperous and happy life, the body, mind and spirit must be organized. We can no longer ignore the soul and follow just the brain. It is time for us to train the mind to be a good servant of the Self. To be able to face the difficulties of the times and harmonize ourselves with the new vibrations we need balanced and open chakras (energy centers), a strong and healthy nervous system, clarity of the mind and spiritual strength. The only way to that is through yogic techniques. Kundalini Yoga, the “Raja” or Mother of all yogas provides us with a bright and strong electromagnetic field. It will lead us to the end of human insanity as well as we can finish with the ideals of the Piscean Age. The transition to the Aquarian Age is a complete shift of consciousness and world views.
