Hello…I’m Sarah Bainbridge, the founder of Yoga Union. I want to tell you my story and how I came to be so passionate about yoga and wellness.

I used to be someone else entirely. I had a successful career in education and on the outside looking in all was sunshine and lollipops.

However, my role and the pressures of life was taking its toll, eroding my peace and leaving me feeling anxiety and burn out. I struggled to sleep, drank too much to self medicate and felt constant exhaustion.

All the colour had gone out of life and something had to change. My wake up call was the end of my marriage, which left me unable to continue in my current role.

I left my full time job and dug deep to find courage to embark on the journey of self discovery that has led me hear, to you.

Nowadays, my life is full of joy and ease because I choose it. I spend time doing something I love and work with the most amazing people.

Yoga has brought me home to myself. It has given me the tools to quieten the inner critic and allow the inner cheerleader to speak. It has helped me heal my relationship with myself. My head is now a much nicer place to be.

I looked at yoga originally as fitness… and it can be. I looked at yoga as flexibility…and it can be. But the benefits don’t end there. Strength of body is great but a strong mind is better. Yoga can teach you resilience, acceptance and bring you back home to yourself. Thank you for reading my to begin your journey,
