You likely know Austin as the Live Music Capital of the World or the home of the University of Texas Longhorns. What you may not know is that in addition to music and football, many Austinites are involved in Yoga practice and training. Their interest goes beyond the traditional asana practice and extends to spiritual development through the Eight Limbs of Yoga. This progressive and compassionate approach to life in Austin is what motivated Kelly Hollis to depart beautiful San Francisco in February of this year.
Kelly came to Yoga Bear a month ago through 3 clicks online. She was researching Breath Awareness techniques for pain management so she could share those with a woman she assists who is undergoing breast cancer treatment. After landing on Kelly McGonigal's site, she was intrigued by the name, Yoga Bear, listed under Kelly M.'s bio; so, she clicked through to the Yoga Bear Home Page and within 5 minutes of reading Yoga Bear's Mission, Kelly sent off an email to find out more information about the organization. A well timed trip two weeks later to San Francisco led to a lunch meeting with Halle. Austin's Yoga Bear Chapter was formed then and there!
When Kelly is not working with the Care Communities (cancer and HIV/Aids support organization) and Yoga Bear, she offers consulting services to both small and large companies who operate in the online media space (video content monetization, distribution and syndication). To round out her time, she studies and practices Yoga and Pilates.
If you are interested in becoming involved with Yoga Bear Austin or simply want to share ideas with Kelly, you can reach her at kelly.hollis@yogabear.com.
