Experienced MK yoga teacher Sarah launches Urban Ōm Yoga

Sarah Kassam (pictured below) will be a well-known face to many people in Milton Keynes after playing a significant role in the rapid growth of yoga in the city over the past decade since she relocated here from Florida. Sarah has now launched her own studio in nearby Buckingham and explains in a guest column for Celebrate:MK how she is hoping to get people back into yoga following the pandemic...

Hi! I’m Sarah, a Senior Yoga Teacher, Holistic Health Therapist, as well as the founder of Urban Ōm Yoga in Buckingham.

We started off as virtual studio eight months ago from yoga studio closures and changes, and have recently moved into our new premises in the town centre of Buckingham.

It’s a purpose-built infrared heated yoga studio featuring non-heated classes, warm classes, and hot classes.

Here at Urban Ōm yoga, we are passionate about yogaspecific health and exercise.

We as yoga teachers have all had our own journey on how yoga has supported us either physically, mentally, or emotionally – and we love teaching and sharing the benefits.

Yoga was new to the area when I moved from Florida to Milton Keynes 10 years ago.

As a teacher, it was exciting to see the Milton Keynes yoga community grow through studios advocating and successfully spreading yoga over the decade.

These larger studios reached a wide audience, launched teacher training programmes, graduated over 200 teachers in the area, as well as helped to improve the quality of life for so many.

We have seen the effects of Covid on the general economy, and even more so, have really seen the impact this has had on small and large yoga studios in the area.

Losing students and studios due to difficulties over the past few years has surely had an affect.

The team at Urban Ōm Yoga are looking forward to the next chapter, in which we can support past students who may have lost their practice due to these many changes, and support new students who did not have an opportunity to join the yoga community that was growing strong just a few years ago.

Our studio has entry-level classes that are accessible and practical, restful classes to combat the effects of stress, as well as high-energy classes for fitness goals.

I feel we are at a great turning point in how yoga is becoming a more recognised tool for supporting weak posture, organ-health, and mental clarity.
