Austin Yoga Bear Chapter Taking Off!

Taking over as Chapter Director for Yoga Bear has been a great challenge so far. We have 3 new participants who have joined the program in Austin in the last week, and I'm happy to see the Texas chapters continue to grow in not only studio and participant relations, but also in events and press. In the past week, I have had three articles written about our Austin Chapter, the work we have accomplished, and our exciting event taking place on Labor Day with Sundara Yoga. Please check out our mention in Pam LeBlanc's Fit City blog about upcoming fitness events! Pam has a daily online blog where she writes about health and fitness related stories in the Austin area. Her blog is very informational for anyone in the Austin community searching for upcoming events, stories on health issues, or just news or tips to live a healthier lifestyle.

Yoga Bear was also mentioned in a national online Yoga Journal called the National Yoga Examiner. Jordann Rawls writes for the Examiner, and did a wonderful article about the Free Day of Yoga we are participating in, as well as the Austin Chapter and the program we have been growing here. Her article is truly worth the read for anyone looking to join the program not only in Austin, but nationwide.

A good friend of mine, Taylor Shanklin, works at Convio here in Austin. Convio has been awarded one of the best places to work in Austin, and I have actually applied to work there! They have an online blog called Connection Cafe, and Taylor is one of their featured bloggers. She did an article on our Austin Yoga Bear Chapter today, and mentioned our healing therapy session with Sundara Yoga during the Free Day of Yoga on Labor Day. Thank you so much Taylor for the the wonderful mention!
