ABOUT US

Bud to Bloom Yoga grew from one mom’s love and a simple moment of connection. When founder, Sarah, heard her neurodiverse son ask, “Can we do the five-finger breath?” during a difficult moment, she witnessed firsthand the profound impact of yoga on emotional regulation and self-awareness.
At Bud to Bloom Yoga, we help children discover those same tools within themselves using breath, body, and movement to find calm, build confidence, and bloom into their best selves.

All classes are rooted in traditional yoga techniques, aligned with Sonia Sumar’s Yoga for All Abilities Method, designed to enhance development of gross and fine motor skills, communication as well as improvement of body awareness, breath capacity, movement, and flexibility. They are also grounded by research-backed practices that support children's nervous system regulation, attention, emotional well-being and readiness to learn.

Sarah is a Certified 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher, a Certified Children’s Yoga Teacher, official licensed practitioner of the Sonia Sumar Method and is specially trained to teach children with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

TESTIMONIALS

  • My son and I absolutely loved Sarah's class! She introduced us to a meditation jar that we still use to this day when Emmett is having a tough moment. We use the things he learned from her class everyday.

  • I can't say enough about how amazing Sarah was with my four-year-old pre-K class! She kept the children engaged, calm, and smiling the entire time, blending movement and mindfulness in a way they could easily follow. The experience was so beneficial—she helped the kids learn simple calming techniques they can use whenever they feel overwhelmed, setting the foundation for lifelong self-regulation. Her gentle energy and creativity made yoga such a fun and positive experience for everyone!

  • Sarah is a very attentive yoga instructor. She works closely with all her students, making sure they feel included. Sarah leads with patience, respect, and makes each child feel comfortable and acknowledged for their own abilities. Through breathing techniques and other yoga tools, my daughter felt confident and strong.
