“Everyone can benefit from yoga, so we wanted to make it accessible and welcoming for all,” Gaona explains. However, The Inner Warrior store isn’t just for experienced yogis. “He sees all! No matter where you are in the store, he is watching, removing obstacles and keeping The Inner Warrior in balance.” The hashtag #JudeSeesAll is now an easily searchable Instagram favorite, with regulars posing in their favorite yoga position by the mural. “Gabriella created our mural, Jude,” Gaona explains. One of these unique twists is a now-famous mural of an elephant, painted on one wall. “We are always striving to bring new and exciting clothing and accessories to Louisville,” Gaona says, “things that you can’t find anywhere else.” She easily lists products ranging from leggings and graphic tees to mats, tapestries and unique jewelry. “We are a West Coast-inspired yoga boutique, specialized in eco-friendly clothing and accessories for both men and women,” Gaona explains. The Inner Warrior has its own twist on yoga accessories. The three arrows in our logo represent my three daughters – each a little different, but each a warrior.” “The shop is and will be, ultimately, for them, so the three are always in the loop. “We complement each other with our ideas and are able to get different perspectives on styles,” Gaona says. “Sasha and Nicolette now live in California, and my youngest, Gabriella, is here and runs the store with me.” Together, the women have brought their vision to life. “I have three daughters, all raised in Louisville,” Gaona says. Together, the family teamed up to create a unique yoga boutique. “Yoga was such an integral part of our lives and we practiced side by side for several years, so starting a yoga boutique was something that just made sense.” “I had been waiting for something great to happen in my life,” Gaona explains. “On my birthday, the summer before I even imagined The Inner Warrior,” Gaona recounts, “my youngest daughter, Gabriella, gave me a stone that simply said, ‘It is up to you.’” It was the sign she didn’t realize she’d been looking for. “My three daughters were my inspiration for The Inner Warrior,” says Gaona, “their belief in me, and my strong desire to create happiness in my life.” Her yoga boutique, The Inner Warrior, is a thriving and unique spot that is quickly becoming a local legend. And that’s what Warrior Flow is all about.”Īdrian Molina is also a writer, massage therapist, Reiki healer, meditation teacher and sound therapist.Ten years ago, Sabine Gaona discovered the life-changing practice of yoga, and she hasn’t looked back since.
