Her experience teaching many students over the years has been invaluable to my tai chi progression. She has been taken me from a complete beginner to being able to practice several different forms on my own at home. I am very appreciative of her guidance and highly recommend anyone interested in Tai Chi to give her a try!

Working with Abi over the past 3 years has shaped my yoga journey in a powerful way. She's…read morechallenged me into a deeper, braver practice (I was sure I couldn't do half of what I'm capable of now!), but she's also helped me to listen to my own body to make the practice my own and to do work beyond just the physical movements.

I participated in a Yoga and Enneagram online program with Abi and it was so cool and insightful…read more I'm a yoga teacher myself and I've been an Enneagram buff for a few years now so it was cool to see those two things brought together and especially some of the Enneagram info was new to me. I'd recommend her Yoga and Enneagram work absolutely! :)

Cute little yoga studio in Buda. They offer a variety of heated and non-heated classes. I love that…read moreI was able to come here on ClassPass since I don't live in the area. I took the 6:30pm hot yoga class and then the 8pm candlelight yin. Both were wonderful and I feel amazing leaving. I sweated, stretched, breathed, and relaxed. All the good things. I needed it! My body feels so much better right now. Thanks WGY for having a clean space with friendly staff :) and welcoming me to practice as a guest in the studio. Hopefully I can squeeze in another class before heading back to Arizona! Fingers crossed.

Beware, if you're attending a class after a hot yoga session as the room is a bit stuffy but after awhile it airs out and is comfortable.

I've tried several yoga studios, but like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, none of them felt just…read moreright. As Yelper Hannah G perfectly put it, "With how saturated the yoga market is, it was hard for me to find a place that I connected with". For me, that place has turned out to be Sukha Yoga. Sure, Mark (co-founder) has no idea who I am--I've only taken his class once--but that single experience left a lasting impression. I attended his Saturday Bhakti Service: Flow, Meditation, and Sound, an 80 min class that collaborates an intentional vinyasa flow practice with mindfulness. For "busy" folks who struggle to slow down or are close-minded, this class (and maybe even this style of practice) might not be for you. As Mark's fists say, he certainly is a "GURU." He guides his class with intention and power, while also subtly weaving in his musical talents, playing several instruments and even singing, in a way that feels genuine and somehow not cringe. The class is structured, yet somehow freeing. Mark allows you to set your own pace during sun salutations, which feels like pure magic. The experience made me feel grounded and safe. I could have cried with how deeply content my soul felt. BONUS: If you love dogs, you'll probably find Mark's extremely well behaved mini doodle, Mai, practicing her down dog. If you don't, there's a door... NOTE: For first timers, it's located next door to Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co--easy to miss if you're not looking for it.

Another day, another new yoga studio. This time I found myself just off South Lamar at Sukha Yoga…read morefor a 6am practice. I arrived at the studio and it was still dark out. Finding the studio and parking was a bit difficult, but once I was inside it felt warm and inviting. There was a small waiting area with some seating which led right to the studio itself. Not huge, but cozy. The class started on time and the instructor took us through a well sequenced flow. It was powerful but far from overwhelming. The studio was supposed to be heated, but it's possible I was not near enough to an infrared light which kept me from getting a sweat in. After the class was over, the instructor invited me to join a small group for a Barton Springs plunge. Really appreciated the community building outside of class! Thanks again and I'll look forward to returning and trying out some other class styles!

It's portable, I can do it if I'm being driven in a car, sitting on a plane, on a bus, or anywhere there's a chair. Contrary to what some seem to think, TM is not effortful. It's incredibly easy, and it always leaves me refreshed, as though my batteries have literally been recharged. "Recharging our batteries" is an overused phrase, but it's very, very accurate for TM. In the middle of a long work day, the 20 minutes of TM that I usually do at the end of my lunch break keep me focused, productive, even cheerful at work for the rest of my day. It really does wonders for me as a stress relieving tool. So it's always been easy for me to keep it up---never feels like effort, or something I have to squeeze in. Because it feels so good, I make it a priority, like drinking water or eating.

The little temple/church in Austin has a fantastic vibration. It's not open during the pandemic…read moreunfortunately. When things stabilize I can't recommend it enough if one wants a serene, high vibration non intrusive place to meditate or just be quiet and centered. It's open for Sunday services. The weekly service is conducted by lay people (monks visits once in a while from other parts of the world) and there is a spiritual lesson read aloud each service that covers a myriad of topics. You'll see people meditating before and during the service and you're welcome to do the same. SRF is a practice. It's a philosophy. I don't want to use the word religion because that implies dogma which is definitely not a part of SRF. When I first walked in oh so many years ago in Los Angeles, no one asked me for my address, phone number, money or invited me to a "seminar" "which only costs $ [insert large amount here]. It is still the same today. They never push you - that's totally antithetical to what they stand for. SRF teaches that each person has their own personal relationship with their higher power - SRF calls it God, Divine Mother, Friend and says there are a myriad of names for this Omnipresent Consciousness that is the Oneness of all things. Therefore no one will intrude into your space. They have volunteers with blue badges and you're welcome to ask them questions. SRF wa]s founded in 1920 by the late Indian guru Paramahansa Yogananda, one of the very first Indian spiritual teachers to come to North America. There are no "rules" or requirements to attend other than common sense decorum necessary when entering any place where there is a silent meditation or a service going on. You don't have to be a "member." There are meditation groups and centers all over the world. Most of the larger temples are in California where he resided. Yogananda never said SRF is the only way to God or to higher consciousness. In fact he says there are many paths and one needs to find the one that works for them. That non-exclusive point of view was and still is very attractive to me. As soon as a teaching or orgaziztion claims to be the only way or the right way I know I'm in the wrong building. The meditation techniques are very simple and straightforward. One can have their printed meditation lessons mailed to your home. I think it's 2x or 1x a month. It was $50 for 12-18 months for about the past 40/50 years - didn't even cover the cost of the stamps. And they just raised it to $99. The lessons are for either 12 or 18 months. And you do not have to get them. Many people attend SRF and don't read the lessons. It's all up to you. In the beginning of my attendance, I went to services using a different silent meditation technique that I had learned and the depth and peace I attained was wonderful. Eventually I decided to take the lessons and I've discovered that SRF is my go-to spiritual path. There are SRF staff and monks available by telephone in California during the day if you have questions. SRF Mother Center in LA. 323-225-2471.
