Reason #1 - This morning I had a great workout at the Mecca Gym and Spa, www.meccagymandspa.com, an amazing gym in downtown Austin. It is located on the top floor of a three story building and has windows on three sides, offering a panoramic view of downtown. The windows also offer great natural light. I always feel uplifted when working out there!
Reason #2 - After the workout, and a visit to Bookpeople (a local book store beloved by Austinites) for coffee, I headed to a Hatha yoga class at Black Swan Yoga, blackswanyoga.com. This was my first visit and I immediately loved the studio. The space had a great feel, very comfortable. Ben, the instructor, taught a class true to the Hatha style. The poses were held a bit longer than in vinyasana classes. I enjoyed this slower pace, which gave me time to turn inward and tune into my bodies subtle messages.
Reason #3 - After class I was off to Casa de Luz, www.casadeluz.org, for an amazing lunch at this downtown vegan, macrobiotic restaurant. The lovely courtyard seating offers sounds of wind chimes and running water flowing through fountains. Surrounded by bamboo and other vegetation it is truly an oasis in the middle of this busy urban city.
There you go...three fabulous reasons to love this city!
