Edgardo was born and raised in Laredo, TX and has been a running coach in South Texas since 1998. He has worked with children and adults to help them achieve their running goals.

After attending teacher training in Encinitas, CA with Tim Miller, I started a business teaching private and corporate yoga classes and... Read the profile >>
