Our Story
Sara Harward and Ashley Gangloff each fell in love with the way yoga made them feel — free to be human, messy, and present. But for years, yoga was something they squeezed in between the demands of careers, kids, and full lives. They had it all, and were quietly wondering if something was missing.
They lived parallel lives — their kids attended the same school — and somehow had never met. A mutual friend finally insisted: You two have too much in common. You have to meet.
They connected in early 2023. Long walks, coffee, scones before and after class. They talked about disappointments and fears, the feeling of missing the moment, and what it might look like to finally stand in their own space. That collective longing drew them into friendship — and eventually, into something bigger.
On one of those walks, Sara wondered out loud: What if I could create a space for people to share what I find through yoga? Ashley responded: What if? They agreed to sit with it over the holidays.
Ashley texted 24 hours later: Let’s partner.
Why Bloom
To bloom, a seed must first root. It stretches toward light, weathers seasons, and never finishes growing. It doesn’t compare itself to the flower beside it — but it can’t thrive in isolation either. Every part of the transformation matters. That’s the practice. That’s us.
What is Bloom Yoga Co?
A soulful space that cultivates physical and personal transformation through movement and connection.
