The desire of Ignite Your Light LLC is to create a Sacred Space in which a person is inspired to look inward, activate their inner awareness, develop their “inner knowing,” and travel their own path to greater vitality + empowerment.

Hi, I’m Courtney Riley

I am so grateful you are here!

I’m a yoga instructor, massage therapist, meditation coach, energy healer, athlete, wife, daughter, sister, and proud Mama. 

I treasure working with people!

I'm passionate about holding space for others as they transform, awaken, and deepen into self-remembrance.

I look forward to Sacred time together.

"Courtney is a loving, kind, peaceful person. She is a world class athlete with a strong competitive drive combined with a deep knowledge of the body and mind as well as a great life coach.

Courtney brings a wonderful combination of compassion and motivation to each session. She can quickly assess my physical and emotional state of mind and tailors our session to what I need that day.

My health today at 63 is better than it was 20 years ago when I started working with Courtney. 

I look forward to our sessions and see immediate results within the hour. She works well remotely and in person.  

I highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking to improve their overall fitness and mental health”

Before going on the meditation series journey with Courtney, I would have considered myself "meditation curious" -

I'd heard from so many trusted sources that it is an invaluable tool for managing anxiety, deepening presence and self-awareness, and basically getting through this wild and messy life, but I'd never known how to even go about approaching it. Every time I downloaded an app to try, I would get bored within a few minutes and give up. This experience was nothing like that.

Courtney started with the basics - literally teaching us (reminding us) how to breathe in a way that actually serves our health. She is incredibly knowledgeable and able to explain and demonstrate things in a variety of ways for different kinds of learners, all while keeping us grounded in the purpose behind the practice. She has taught us a wide range of techniques, sharing both the anatomical science behind them and the practical how-to information.

Courtney welcomes whatever we bring with us each day, and reminds us that it is okay to laugh, cry, or fall asleep - basically, to love and care for ourselves, however that may look in a given moment.

Since working with Courtney I've become much more aware of my breath, and I am able to remind myself to utilize it throughout the day, particularly during stressful moments. Most importantly, she has provided a warm and accepting space to be with other women seeking peace and a greater connection to ourselves, each other, and all that's beyond.

Truly, just to be in Courtney's presence is a gift, and I highly recommend it if you have the opportunity.

Thank you Courtney, I will be eternally grateful!
