As I approach seven years in Austin, I am still finding new ways this city teaches me how to slow down, evolve, and come back to myself. I moved here in 2019 right out of college without ever visiting and did not know a soul. I felt a deep draw to this city and decided to trust that gut instinct, and I’m so glad I did!
The last couple of months have been a mix of soft rituals, grounding practices, and new wellness finds that help me feeling my best amongst the inherit fast pace of city life. Here are some highlighted spaces/practices around ATX (all tagged) that somehow always know what I need before I do. I share these as inspiration to help you find what nourishes you and to encourage you to make time for play and R&R. Remember, you are a human being not a human doing ;)
Rising Lotus has always been about more than events and yoga. It’s about building a life that feels regulated, intentional, and deeply alive in the middle of real, messy, beautiful human experience. It’s about filling your own cup so that you can authentically show up for the people around you and be a giving force in this world that so desperately needs it 🤍
If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, disconnected, or just craving something softer, this is your reminder that your wellbeing is worth investing in. Simply taking time out of your day to breathe & journal can completely reset your mood & perspective.
Curious what’s been grounding you lately? If you have a favorite spot that I should try, let me know! Stay connected for more unique wellness experiences throughout the city 🧘🏻♀️🪷
