Mica May
Mica started Austin DIY Studio in her back house studio in 2021, after the pandemic hit in-person arts & crafts studios in Austin really hard. Many of the local favorite “go tos” closed – and summer camps were a challenge, with gatherings still needing to be small. With back to back summer camps in 2021 and again in 2022, she found a studio space in the heart of Central Austin and officially opened Austin DIY Studio, a makers space for after school art and DIY craft classes, adult workshops, private events and birthday parties.
Molly Owen
Molly Owen is grateful to be a yoga teacher in her hometown of Elgin, Texas. Adventuresome and creative, Molly graduated from the University of Texas – Austin in her 20s and left the state to begin her career in pursuit of acting in New York’s Big Apple. She found studying and pursuing the craft a deep dive into exploring the human spirit and the array of behaviors that reflect or dampen that spirit. Triumphs and failures of the next three decades provided Molly with greater insight into her truest north. Her aspiration became clearer: uncovering the innocence of our human spirit and supporting our highest expression of that truth.
A change of course found Molly in a highly competitive corporate environment. That detour brought new perspective. She had first-hand knowledge of how extreme work conditions can lead to an unconscious habit of stressful living. Seeking to regain her own equilibrium, Molly moved from Brooklyn back home to Elgin and embarked on her yoga training with new fervor. She found new goals in yoga’s breadth and depth and began sharing the study and practice with others. Molly quickly transferred her interpersonal and public speaking skills into the new realm of the yoga classroom. Yoga provided the perfect forum for delving deeper into the body-mind-spirit integration with her students.
Molly is a teacher of Power Flow, Slow Stretch, and Restorative Yoga. She also offers Chair Yoga, as well as customized and private lessons. Her most recent accreditation is that of Certified Laughter Yoga Leader.
Today, she is honored to share the power of Laughter Yoga, an invitation to connect with others, express courageously, and reawaken the inner wisdom and joy residing within all of us!

To top it off, her live performance delivers those songs with quick wit, tasty guitar work, and a huge voice.

Reba Wiedner
The awakening of “music as medicine for my soul” began with my first piano lessons at age 7 and continued throughout my years as a music major at Texas Lutheran College. Later in life, a health crisis led to another path of studies, now focusing on “food as medicine” at the Natural Epicurean of Culinary Arts (2011) and CranioSacral at the Academy of Massage Therapy (2013). Curious for deeper wisdom about Five Elements, Marma Point Therapy, and the body’s Seven Energy Centers, I attended summer intensives with Dr. Vasant Lad at the Ayurvedic Institute (2017 & 2018) and the Inner Engineering Yoga program at the Isha Foundation (2018). I am inspired by the many parallels between music theory and ancient healing philosophies across the globe. Today I use a full set of Tibetan sound bowls, Biofield tuning forks, and Halo hang drum for those desiring deep multi-faceted healing. Encouraging clients to access the “healer within”, I quote Tesla’s wisdom: “If you want to find (know) the secrets of the (your) universe, think (feel) in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”
