I LOVE my yoga practices at Root Down!

At Altra, we value small businesses and their contributions to our community. Introducing Business Feature Friday, where we highlight our communities' local gems!

This Friday, we are highlighting Root Down Yoga. Root Down Yoga is the La Crosse area's first hot yoga studio! Their classes are fun, sweaty, challenging (and guru-less). Their highly trained teachers will give you the tools you need, but ultimately, they want to find your greatest teacher - the one already inside you.

"At Root Down, we are partners for life. My husband and I not only shared our lives together for the last 32 years, we also co-founded this yoga studio. We both teach classes and love the connection we have with our students and team. We feel so fortunate to share yoga with this community. Most of our teachers have been with us since day 1. Root Down really feels like a family."

A down payment is the part of what you pay to buy a house that is not included in your loan amount. However, it is what you owe at the time of purchase. You may not need 20% down to purchase a home, but saving for a down payment will likely cause you to pay off your mortgage sooner. You will also save yourself some interest and build equity quicker when you put down a solid down payment!

𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡: Single people never own houses by themselves.

𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭: 60% of First Time Homebuyers are unmarried.

If the fact that you are unmarried or single is holding you back from owning a home, most first-time home buyers are not married! If you are in the market to purchase a home, don't let this myth stop you. Finding the right house and the right plan can be worth it to buy a house regardless of your marital status.
