We are excited to announce a NEW member of our fitness team! Meet, Serena! 🧘😄❤️❤️
Serena discovered her deep love for yoga after doing a "yoga every day" challenge in 2020. Initially, a way to get back to physical health postpartum, it quickly became an enjoyable personal therapy for past injuries, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Though born with hip dysplasia, she was an athlete. Though she experienced childhood trauma, she is an inspiration. She now loves to help others discover their own yoga practice, knowing the healing benefits can help them relax, recover, and restore their true potential. She is a registered nurse, certified yoga and meditation teacher, sound healer, certified yoga life coach, and exercise scientist. Serena is blessed to be a wife and mother to four young children. Physical, mental, and emotional health and wellness is her passion and life-long journey.
Help give us a warm welcome to Serena!

Today marks the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month, an annual celebration to celebrate our diversity and the histories, cultures and contributions of our Hispanic, Latino and Latinx community members in and around Central Texas!
Hispanic Heritage Month traces its history to 1968 when it was just a week-long observance. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a bill designating the week of September 15 as “National Hispanic Heritage Week.” It wasn’t until nearly 20 years later that Hispanic Heritage Week was lengthened to an entire month under President Ronald Reagan’s term.
Visit the link for a historical overview of the month and learn the importance of when and why these four weeks are celebrated in the United States.
