Here's some additional information from people and businesses who have inspired me, and hopefully will inspire you too. In the future I'll include more links and personal thoughts on resources like these, and if you have any suggestions please feel free to email me.

Erich Schiffmann is a balanced thinker and yoga instructor who's influenced my approach to yoga. He and I both have a focus on using yoga to encourage a meditative mindset that's used as much on the mat as it is in daily life.

Andrew Weil is a leader in integrated medicine. His approach to being a doctor is as alternative as it is traditional. He's an authority on sane, balanced and researched information on diet, nutrition, and overall healthcare without gimmicks.

Deepak Chopra is a medical doctor who also has a practice of ayurveda, the healing tradition of India. His insights into yogic philosophy, medicine and spirituality helped strengthen the insight I was having from my yoga practice in regards to healing.

Stephanie Shrum is a friend, mentor and my Thai Massage teacher. I've assisted her as a teaching assistant on several occasions and couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Austin Farmers' Market is your chance to see what Austin has to offer food wise. Find one in your area and talk to the people who raise your food.

Local Harvest allows you to find local farms, farmers and farmers' markets in your area. It helps give you connection to the people around you who are raising their own food and can provide higher quality goods that are ethically raised.
