Magic
We invite you to joins us Saturday, September 20th for our Emerald Anniversary which includes some (introvert- and extrovert-approved) human interaction to celebrate 20 years of Greenville Yoga!
Whether you're a current, former, or future student—this is for you.
Whether you're a current, former, or hopeful future teacher—this is for you.
If you're yoga-curious, craving community, or just want great food and a fun space for your kids—this is for you.
When the GY teachers gathered for our summer Inspired Luncheon, our goal was simple: plan something truly special for you. Our first question was:
How do we want our students to feel after attending this party?
Here’s what we came up with:
CONNECTED – welcomed, seen, accepted, and belonging
LOVED – celebrated, remembered, and empowered
MAGIC – laughter, joy, inspiration, and radiance
…and (of course) that you simply had a good time!
Each week leading up to the party, we’re sharing our top three reasons why you won’t want to miss this event. With less than one week to go, here’s reason number one:
✨MAGIC✨
Over twenty years, we’ve created something that isn’t easily named—but you feel it the moment you walk in. There’s something special here. I know when we left our first location in North Main in 2020, several students were worried that it just wouldn’t feel the same. We spent 15 years breathing, meditating and caring for one another in the same space. When we reopened in 2021, somehow within months people were commenting, “I don’t know how you did it. It feels the same!” The only answer I have is, “Magic!” But maybe the magic is in our intention when we gather and the quiet magic that occurs when we show up, hear our own inner longings and allow ourselves to be seen.
As we prepare to celebrate two decades of community, connection, and transformation, it might be nice to take a moment to remember all the magic that brought you here:
That first brave step onto your mat.
The class that cracked something open.
The teacher who saw you.
The moment you felt, in your bones, that you belonged.
When was the moment that this was the place, the teacher, the practice that brought you home?
It’s these tiny memories, that may not feel like much, that connect us all to one another. So when we gather with intention and love to celebrate this space and each of you… how could it not be magical? Show up just as you are, follow your inner excitement when you are here, and let yourself be seen. What is more magical than that?
Some things we have planned to let you feel the magic this Saturday:
Hugs, deep conversation and community!
Free Henna tattoos from 5-7pm
Bubble machine, music & games for the garden
Special something at 6pm, along with our raffle drawing for One Year of Yoga! ($1 / ticket and all money goes to Jasmine Road… available now through Saturday at 5:30pm)
Good food from Nef’s Healthy Kitchen
Spirits from Traveling Taps (they are bringing a vintage truck to go along with our garage-vibe)
And as for the unexpected magic… Two of my favorite people had their first date at an anniversary party years ago after practicing next to one another in class. Now they are happily married and stewards of nature, meditation and stillness practices in the Greenville community. You can’t plan that kind of magic. But you can show up—and let it find you.
