Yoga
Yoga is the ultimate self-care practice. It’s also a perfect place to begin your journey to health, happiness, and transformation. If you’re brand new to yoga, this is the ideal first step in your self-care journey. If you’ve been practicing yoga for a while, growing your practice is the cornerstone of your healthy lifestyle. Yoga expands our awareness at the same time it heals and harmonizes our body, mind, and spirit, transforming us from the inside out! Available Live or through Zoom by appointment.
Workshops & Special Events:
Summer Solstice Singing Bowls Restorative Event with Barb & Ron Esposito
Sunday, June 19 from 3:00 - 5:00 pm at Ignite Yoga, 669 Miamisburg Centerville Rd, Dayton, OH 45459
Welcome the light of the Summer Solstice in this delicious restorative sound bath meditation with Barb & Ron Esposito! In this 2 hour live music and restorative yoga event, Barb will lead you through a special restorative yoga practice designed to take you to a place of deep physical, mental and emotional relaxation. Class will begin with a guided meditation leading you into a profoundly relaxing restorative yoga and pranayama practice. As each pose brings you deeper into relaxation and renewal, Ron will take you on a sound meditation journey you will feel on all levels.
The singing bowls sound meditation features ten quartz crystal singing bowls, four Tibetan brass singing bowls, and the kalimba (African thumb piano.) The singing bowls produce long resonant tones that shift in a cloud-like manner. The sound of the bowls focuses the mind and enables the meditator to be present in the moment, practicing bare attention to “what is.” The kalimba produces a melodic sound generated by metal tynes vibrating over a small wooden box. Sound meditation is a form of nada yoga, using vibration as a transformative, healing practice. This 2 hour live music and yoga event is suitable for all ages, body types and experience levels.

Barb Morsa, BA, JD, E-RYT500, YACEP
Barb is a functional health coach, yoga and meditation teacher and
teacher trainer. She is a founder and the former director of teacher
training at Indigo Yoga, and she has trained numerous teachers over
the years. She teaches workshops and in teacher trainings nationally
and is certified at the E-RYT500 level and as a continuing education
provider through Yoga Alliance (YACEP). Barb is passionate about
travel and regularly leads yoga and wellness retreats nationally and
internationally.
Barb was drawn to yoga many times before developing a dedicated
practice. She began her yoga journey in high school when a theology
teacher introduced her to meditation. The experience of profound
joy and peace, she realized, was the experience of her own soul,
and it launched a lifetime journey into Eastern philosophy and yoga.
Barb holds a B.A. in Philosophy and she is a former litigation attorney.
In law school, and again as a young mother, Barb found that her yoga practice kept her grounded during life’s inevitable challenges. With continued practice, she saw that yoga was transforming her life in both simple and profound ways. Inspired to learn and experience more, she completed her first 200 hour teacher training at YogahOMe in Cincinnati. She began teaching yoga while maintaining a full-time corporate law practice. Several years later, she completed her 500 hour training at YogahOMe, eventually leaving her law practice for the full-time practice of yoga and the founding of Indigo Yoga.
A perpetual and devoted student, Barb continues to study with many national and international teachers. She has studied extensively in the area of Restorative Yoga and yoga therapy with her Iyengar teachers and the Urban Zen Integrated Therapy faculty. Barb is truly passionate about yoga as a tool for active compassion, self-care, and deep healing on all levels. She brings humor, compassion, and wisdom to all of her heart-centered practices, which blend asana, breathwork, and mindfulness meditation techniques. Both in her teaching and in life, she considers it an honor to guide others to a direct experience of body, mind, and soul.
