Heartfelt Consciousness Podcast
Free Community Offering | Mondays | 6:30PM-7:30PM CDT
Laura Bender
Yoga first made an appearance in Laura’s life several years ago and as an avid runner, she heard yoga could play a huge part in improving her form, mental control, breathing, flexibility and balance. Over the last few years, she discovered that it’s so much more than that. While her practice has helped her grow stronger and more flexible, it has taught her the importance of mindfulness and gratitude. Yoga inspires Laura to shine from her heart and open up her soul, to be her most authentic self. Laura completed her 200 hour Vinyasa training with Omnipresent Yoga and has gone on to complete her 300 hour training with My Vinyasa Practice as well as several other programs in Yin, Yoga Nidra, Mindfulness Meditation, Mindfulness Coaching, Aromatherapy and Restorative Yoga. In addition, being a Reiki Master allows her to bring a holistic aspect to her classes that help balance the body and mind. Laura is currently an E-RYT 200, RYT 500, and YACEP with Yoga Alliance.
Our latest Heartfelt Consciousness Podcast Episode goes LIVE every Monday.
Laura Bender talks with a variety of individuals from fellow yogis, yoga teachers, specialists, and more to share their knowledge and expertise on challenges many of us face today both in and outside of our yoga practice and teachings. Not to mention, the fun and entertaining connections that can happen along the way in our journey!

INTEGRATING MUSIC
MVP Community Offering | September 2nd | 7pm – 8pm CDT
Vanisha Weatherspoon
Vanisha is an RYT 500 and native of Killeen, TX. She began her yoga journey when she began taking classes in Austin after making her way there for school/ work. Her love for yoga truly developed when she began law school in Washington, DC. Law students are at heightened risk for alcoholism, drug abuse, anxiety and depression, so she looked to yoga to help her avoid falling victim to one of the former. It was here on her yoga mat where she discovered true happiness and peace, which led her to want to bring this to her law school community, but also others.
Want to learn more about how to integrate music into your teaching classes and personal practice? Especially when offering this to practitioners, whether in-person or through live stream, there are some points to consider, that Vanisha (RYT500) will be happy to explain and ponder on with you.

INTRO TO INVERSIONS
September 18th | 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM CDT
Kristiana Castillo Vuong
Kristiana first came to yoga after moving to Austin to attend college. From the start she got far more from the practice than a workout. Though she was first drawn to the intensity of power classes, she now enjoys the structure of Ashtanga and the ease of a gentle flow.
She completed her 200hr YTT and began teaching in local studios full time. Her classes focus on intention setting, breath and moving meditation.
Join Kristiana for a two hour Intro to Inversions workshop. In this workshop we will learn how an inversion practice can benefit your overall yoga practice, while focusing on strengthening the core and isolating the muscles required to invert through accessible warm up techniques. We will also learn how to utilize props to assist us into inversions. You do not have to have experience inverting! All levels are welcome, and beginners are encouraged to join!
