Lost ‘n Found Yoga is a welcoming community of yoga and Pilates practitioners located in the Niagara Region. Our studio is located in the Grantham Plaza at the corner of Scott St. and Vine St. in St. Catharines. We have over 2,000 students who call Lost ‘n Found Yoga home, with more than 700 visits per week on average. It's a busy studio with 4 beautiful practice rooms, over 25 instructors and 60+ weekly classes. All are welcome, from those who are new to yoga and can't touch their toes, to others who are lifelong practitioners and can stand on their head. We are unpretentious, down-to-earth, and easy-going. We hope you make Lost ‘n Found Yoga your home too!
Our vision at Lost ‘n Found Yoga is twofold. First and foremost, we want to dispel the myths of yoga in order to make the practice accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability and personal ideology. Second, we want to cross the bounds of traditional yoga and use yoga as a tool to help support the mental and emotional health of Niagara residents.

Lost ‘n Found Yoga was rebranded from "Yoga by Sarah" in August 2019. The "Sarah" in Yoga by Sarah comes from our founder's name, Sarah Giovannone. Sarah discovered yoga in the mid 1990's when she found a yoga VHS tape on the shelf of a local video store in St. Catharines while browsing for fitness workout videos. This video led to her friends regularly coming to her house at 6am, moving furniture out of the living room and popping the video in the VCR for an early morning workout. She founded the studio in 1999, and over the years she grew Yoga by Sarah from a one-woman show to the thriving community it is today. After getting engaged, she sold the studio to April and Bill in the Fall of 2017 in order to move to Collingwood to be with the man of her dreams.
