Meet Sarah Small, goddess of wicker, teacher of yoga, a human who embodies LOVE

love

“This is your PSA that its never too late. To be happy, to fall in love, or to chase that dream.”

This angel has been in my life for a few years now, and it is a delight to see her grow, shine, and thrive as an entrepreneur, a yogi, an artist, and a human ball of LOVE. I’m so happy to introduce Sarah Small of Wicker Goddess (and a lululemon educator, which is how we met). I think you will feel the love + intention in her message through your screen.

What is your name???

 Sarah Small

Where can we find you?

 Yoga + Meditation classes at Abundant Space every Monday night from 6:30-7:30. Shop Wicker Goddess at pop-up markets all over the valley.

shop her hand-drawn cards for Valentines Day on 2/12 + 2/13 from noon-3pm at lululemon Scottsdale Quarter!

What lights you up inside?

 You know that warmth you feel when you find the courage to step into your power and boldly take a stand for your worth? Have you ever watched someone else do that? Those are the moments that light me up. Finding new ways to both feel that warmth and help others feel it too is how I keep myself feeling grounded, and full.

10 Things! Respond with the first answer that pops into your head.

·      I love…snuggling my pup, Jibby.

·      Favorite way to connect with friends...calling them to just check-in, going for a walk together, sending them a handwritten letter.

·      I am the best in the world at...loving on and rooting for my people

Edit: yes, she IS

·      My favorite insta follow is...@justinablakeney

·      Favorite way to sweat...yoga or sweating my brain through meditation

·      A book I love is....To Love and Let Go by Rachel Brathen

·      My biggest unicorn dream is to...Publish my book, and watch the healing unfold from it.

·      I serve my community by...holding space for others to step into their power. Through my yoga and meditation classes and the way I run my business.

·      The one thing I can't live without is...water and sun. I'm basically a more complicated house plant :)

·      My favorite lululemon item is...Wunder under 7/8 - luxtreme - black. High times for life baby.

What do you like most about your favorite lululemon product?

 Those wunder unders take me from my morning walk, to the thrift store to source for Wicker Goddess, to lunch with a friend, to taking or teaching yoga at night. They're lightweight, comfy, and seriously feel like a second skin.

Edit: I couldn’t have said it better myself!! Check them out HERE. Also available as a crop, and in a full-length tight. (As a member of the lululemon collective, I will receive a small commission if you purchase through these links. Thank you for your support!)

Tell us about this one thing you can't live without!

Gratitude. Every single time, without fail, gratitude heals me. Humbles me. Connects me to my people. And brings me back to myself. I love making a quick gratitude list in the notes on my phone, sending a text to someone I love when I think of them, or just saying thank you for my breath and body every day when I wake up. Focusing on gratitude really has changed everything for me. You should try it :)

How do you practice kindness to your body?

 I feel like mornings are extremely sacred. They are the first taste of what the rest of your day will be like. So I put a lot of intention into them. I take five deep breaths right when I wake up, make time to stretch or go for a walk, and drink lots of water. When my week gets hectic or I feel overwhelmed, I've found a few other things that really help me build self-love. Like holding myself accountable and putting my phone away when I've been on it too long and going back to the things that make me feel more like "me." Writing, going on walks, petting my dog, saying something kind to myself, and doing something for someone I love. Yoga is also my go-to. Every time my feet find their way back to the mat, it feels like coming home to my body over and over again.

There is magic in finding what works for you. And then every single day our goal can be bringing those things in - even in small ways - to love on ourselves. After all, we deserve a spot on our own priorities list.

Edit: YES, we do!! That’s why you will find me at Sarah’s yoga class nearly every Monday night. Come join us!

What else do you want to share with our community?

 I am an entrepreneur and the owner of a small business. We've been open for a little under a year, and are thriving. Don't worry, we still hit speed bumps and I google everything under the sun. But this is your PSA that it's never too late. To be happy, to fall in love, or to chase that dream. You are enough and are worthy of living a life that brings you warmth every single day. And just in case you're wondering, you don't have to be fearless to be brave. Fear and bravery go hand in hand, and whatever it is you're up against, you've got this.

need a dose of happiness?
