About Tani
My name is Tani Hamagishi-Allen and Ignite Pilates & Yoga is a space for movement & mindfulness amidst the backdrop of Whistler to enrich experience.
With over a decade teaching group classes and private sessions, facilitating special events and wellness incentives, with an evolving personal practice, I specialize in Pilates, Yoga and Sound Bath.
My language as a teacher is one of encouragement, empowerment, connection and an invitation to notice - whether the historical context of Pilates, the elements of nature in the landscape of the mind, or the vibration after the sound.
Our depth of experience lays within the opportunity to notice. Taking time to land. Time to connect.
How does this shape the Whistler experience?
I believe Whistler holds a particularly unique lens in making one feel both grounded and limitless. It’s a community populated with exceptional athletes, free spirited travellers, small town values and an international current. I’ve come to realize that it is this energy that shapes and fuels my passion: it has made me the teacher I am today. I offer to share this influence to you, with an openness to meet you as you are - so that we may be fluent in the energy of Whistler.
