JANUARY HAPPENINGS

"When your intention is clear, so is the way." - Alan Cohen

January is fresh, clean, and full of possibility. As we step into the new year, many of us set New Year’s resolutions—but have you ever paused to ask why we set them, how we plan to follow through, and what we’ll do when obstacles arise?

These are the questions we’ll explore together at my Vision Yoga Workshop at the Spears YMCA on January 10th. This workshop is designed to help you move beyond resolutions and into clear intentions, realistic goals, and supportive practices that carry you through the year ahead.

Join me as we slow down, reflect, and intentionally lay the groundwork for the coming year—mind, body, and spirit. Open to all levels.

✨ See more details below and reserve your spot! ✨

This workshop is just one of the many exciting things happening this month!!! I will be subbing a lot of extra classes at Radiance and YMCA this month so be sure to check them out!

I also am going on a Yoga Retreat with Cathy Yonaitis and her crew to Guatemala at the end of the month so there will be no classes from Jan. 23-Feb. 1st.

I look forward to seeing you in classes or in private sessions as we start the year off strong and full of intention.

Namaste,

Sarah

Winter Solstice Fundraising Event Supporting The Yoga Connection was a HUGE success!

Our Winter Solstice Fundraising Event supporting The Yoga Connection was a huge success! On Tuesday, December 16th, our community came together for a beautiful evening filled with connection, reflection, and the joyful return of the light.

We were honored to welcome 65 participants and volunteers, supported by 4 incredible teachers, 26 generous sponsors, and 11 heartfelt donations. This year also marked a special milestone as we hosted our first-ever raffle, featuring 13 amazing items generously donated by our community.

Thanks to the overwhelming support and generosity of everyone involved, we are thrilled to share that we reached our fundraising goals! We are deeply grateful to all who attended, volunteered, donated, and helped make this event so meaningful.

Thank you for being part of this light-filled evening and for continuing to support The Yoga Connection and its mission.

December 21st is National World Meditation Day!

This year marks only the second time this special day has been officially recognized. To honor the occasion, The Art of Living Triad team hosted a gathering that united the Greensboro community while also connecting us to a global meditation event, with the inspiring goal of reaching 10 million meditators worldwide.

Together, we watched, listened, and participated in a guided meditation led by Gurudev, creating a deeply meaningful and transformational experience. The sense of connection—both locally and globally—was truly powerful.

If you’re interested in learning more about meditation or getting involved in future events, I invite you to explore and connect with The Art of Living Triad Branch.
