Why Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga Is The Best Summer Workout
You can’t drive across the Congress Street bridge in Austin without seeing dozens of people on stand up paddle boards (or as we like to say around here, “SUP” boards.) At first glance, it doesn’t look like much of a work out. You’re… well, standing. And paddling. But one time trying SUP is enough to […]

DIY Dumplings Might Be the Best Girls Night Idea Ever
Last week we caught up with food and travel writer Deana Saukam while she was visiting friends in Austin. It was so much fun hanging with this fun group of girls and watching them work together to make Deana’s DIY dumplings. When I say these scallop and garlic chive blossom wontons were good, I mean […]

Desperately Seeking Cindy
Recently we were all chatting about our favorite bygone fitness trends (Tae Bo? Zumba, anyone?) and I realized I’m the only one here in the studio old enough to have been fully obsessed with Cindy Crawford’s Workout Challenge tapes in high school. If (like my colleagues) you’re too young to have ever owned a VHS, let me […]
What to Do With Your Life in June
