Stronger Austin is activating the Austin community with one goal: health for all. We believe that every neighborhood in Austin should have easy access to health and wellness programs. What’s one of the best parts of Stronger Austin? Our amazing participants like Arnoldo!  Arnoldo attends our Friday morning yoga class at Dove Springs at 9:30 am led by our ever-inspiring yogi, Linda Natera. She leads our free, bilingual yoga classes offered at both Dove Springs and Montopolis Recreation Center (Tuesday’s at 6:30 pm). Here’s more on Arnoldo!
