About the Writers


Kristi Cochran I'm a Junior at the University of Texas at San Antonio pursuing a bachelors degree in Communication. I'm a native to San Antonio. I've always been a fan of the outdoors and spend a great deal of my time hiking, biking, and rock climbing. I'm currently a member of BYSA, Bikram Yoga San Antonio practicing at the Union Yoga and Strength located here in San Antonio. Remaining fit and active has always been important to me and I'm always looking for ways to get other people involved and excited about their health.
