In this month’s interview we sit down with Erin Austin, board member at large for Abundant Yoga Community, a non-profit organization with a mission to reach people who might have limited access to commercial yoga studios due to financial or geographical constraints. Our conversation focuses on how yoga is changing lives in River Falls, Wisconsin and across the state.
