Huffington Post 4/22/14: Why Are 1,000 People Doing Yoga in the Same Room? Because of This Woman! A recent article in Forbes says that innovation is 1 percent inspiration and 99 perecent perspiration. It sounds cliché, but it stands to reason. I wonder: Does a person who perspires a lot — say a personal trainer or certified yoga instructor — possess a greater capacity to transform innovative ideas into realities? I have no way of knowing, but after meeting Sarah Gardner, I’m inclined to say hell yes! Sarah is indeed a personal trainer and yoga instructor, hailing from Wayland, MA (just west of Boston). She recalls driving down a major highway in 2009, and saying out loud, “I want to have a Yogathon at Gillette Stadium to help kids in need.” For the sake of context, Gillette Stadium is the home of the New England Patriots. It’s a big venue. Up until that moment, Sarah had never spearheaded and organized a fundraising event in her life. [That moment in the car was the 1 percent of inspiration.]
