Bodhi Yoga is a comprehensive Austin yoga studio that welcomes students of all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re looking to get fit, find inner peace, or both, these patient, skilled yogis will guide you on your unique journey.

“Bodhi” is Sanskrit for “awaken,” and dedicated yoga practice aims to unlock your mind, body, and spirit. The studio here features infrared heating, a silent light conversion process that allows students to absorb heat without heating the surrounding air. This promotes concentration and maximum body cleansing.

See Bodhi Yoga’s site for information on classes, events, retreats, teacher training, and schedules.

Born in Bangkok, Madam Mam learned Royal- and family-style Thai cuisine in her grandmother’s kitchen. She grew up to run restaurants and be a food critic in her native country before coming to Austin in 2001.

Here, she combines family-style cuisine in a slick but comfortable atmosphere, boasting the closest thing to Thai home cooking this side of the Pacific. Ex-pats tend to agree, calling Madam Mam’s a taste of home, with no concessions or compromises for American palates. Natives love it too; they praise the huge menu across the board, saying that the classic noodle dishes and curries give them a new perspective on Thai cooking.

Prices are decent considering the quality and portion size, and there are frequent specials. Take-out is available.
