✨ Latinas in Wellness ✨

One year ago, I started this series to highlight Latinas taking up space in the wellness industry and creating impact in their communities.

In honor of Latinx Heritage Month, I wanted to look back at the incredible women we’ve featured through Commune + Bloom across Dallas and Austin.

From wellness studio owners, Pilates instructors, functional medicine doctors, chiropractic office owners, nonprofit founders, personal trainers, skincare professionals, run club founders, and more, each woman has shown a different side of what wellness can look like.

Different backgrounds. Different stories. Different modalities.

But so many of the same threads.
A deep why behind the work.
Learning how to move through different seasons.
Regulating their nervous systems.
Holding onto the quotes, scriptures, and mantras that anchor them.
And taking up space in their Latinidad while creating something meaningful for others.

I’m so grateful to every woman who has trusted me to share a piece of her story.

Excited to keep highlighting even more Latinas in Wellness in this next season. 🤎

✨ LATINAS IN WELLNESS: RUN CLUB EDITION | FALL 2026 ✨

Run clubs are everywhere right now, and for good reason.

There’s something powerful about choosing an activity that asks you to push yourself, build discipline, and keep showing up, and then doing it alongside community.

Movement can be good for the body, but community adds something different. You’re meeting new people, getting outside, doing something social that doesn’t have to revolve around drinking, and moving beside people who encourage you to keep going.

There’s something regulating about that too. Moving together, breathing together, laughing together, and sometimes struggling through the same mile together.

For this Fall edition of Latinas in Wellness, we’re highlighting five Latina-led run communities throughout Austin and the surrounding areas that are making movement feel more welcoming, social, and accessible.

🏃🏽‍♀️ LATINAS RUN ATX
Austin
Saturday morning runs centered around fitness, fun, and connection.

🏃🏽‍♀️ chicas run club 🏃🏻‍♀️🍒🌸
Leander
Saturday mornings. Walkers, joggers, and all paces welcome.

🏃🏽‍♀️ Runneritas Run Club
Leander, Cedar Park + surrounding areas
Weekly runs, races, community, and all experience levels welcome.

🏃🏽‍♀️ Mueller Mamis Run Club
Austin
A Latina-led community rooted in Latino values, joy, connection, and welcoming all paces.

🏃🏽‍♀️ Live Bold Chicas | Round Rock TX
Downtown Round Rock
Beginner-friendly 2-mile runs with runners, joggers, and walking chicas welcome.

Whether you’re already a runner or have been waiting for a reason to start moving, maybe your sign is simply finding a group and showing up.

Join a club. Meet an amiga. Move your body. 🤎
