The Austin Yoga Festival

On October 8th & 9th the yoga community of Austin gathered together for the first Annual Austin Yoga Festival!  The festival was conceived by Russell Burns who thought Austin ought to have a yoga festival.  With over 44 yoga studios in Austin alone, I couldn't have agreed more!  What is remarkable about the festival is Russell's decision to showcase local yoga teachers and kirtan artists.  The other remarkable aspect is that he worked to put it on completely for charity.  The energy flow of the festival was embued with the essence of seva, selfless service.  All the teachers got a chance to shine, meet other teachers and studio owners.  I had the opportunity to play kirtan and teach kundalini yoga to a new group of people.  Thank you Russell and all of his support team for all your work.  I'm so excited to experience it next year.  Here are some pictures from the festival:
