 It's been awhile... We've been so busy learning to find inner peace, connecting with ourselves, and spending time 'belly to belly' with folks, that it's time to roll out something for others. Our motto at SELFignition is: Be good. Take care. Give back. So, we present - Sweat in The City 2017 A series of donation based outdoor JOGA workouts that are taking place through out Winnipeg. We will be teaching the NEW Foundations program, which is perfect for everyone! If you have never heard of JOGA, head over to our JOGA section for more info. If you are curious how we started up here in Winnipeg, then find out what being a JOGI means to us! What exactly is a donation based workout? Come workout, donate the amount you choose. Put your monies in the jar, find a spot for your mat and enjoy! 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the charity. That's the give back part... We have partnered with Be The Reason, a local grass roots charity that is completely volunteer run.  Be The Reason is a non-profit organization that was created in August 2016. They are devoted to passionately advocating for the homeless, displaced, our communities most vulnerable and politically under-represented members of our city. This very young, Not-For-Profit has humble beginnings... "I started Be The Reason because I knew I had to give back to an amazing city. An amazing city that came together regardless of social status to help find a family member of mine when he went missing back in February of 2016. From the businessman in his 3 piece suit, the Middle Class families, the entire Bear Clan Patrol, to the homeless with nothing but the clothes on their backs and the “Missing” flyer in their back pocket. It was this last group that created a profound effect. I figured if someone who has absolutely nothing can help my family, I needed to help them. With $25, and a phone call to James Favel of the Bear Clan, Be The Reason was born. In September of 2016, I created 40 Care Packs and handed them off to the Bear Clan Patrol to hand out on their nightly patrols to those in need. A great partnership was formed and I have never looked back!" At Be The Reason, they create and supply Care Packs filled with Personal Care and Hygiene items. Your donations will go directly towards providing much needed monies to fill the gaps where direct product donations are not enough. Where to find us?
