Welcome
My name is Olga and I am a travelling yoga and mindful movement teacher, dedicated to helping curious individuals move with greater freedom and awareness. I bring this approach to life through a variety of offerings, which you can find below! Sign up for a virtual private session for individualised support, try one of my pre-recorded classes for a self-care session at home or enjoy one of my sequencing resources!
My movement practice is a melting pot of two decades of training and study in various disciplines. I am a certified movement specialist with over 900h of training in yoga therapeutics and an honours degree in contemporary dance. Between dance and yoga, I have been teaching mindful movement for ten years. My practice embodies my blend of interests in creative movement and movement science, both grounded in mindfulness and playful enquiry.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch - I am happy to chat!
One to ones
Fully adapted to you
Therapeutic yoga is completely adapted to your unique needs. The practices I use are inspired by yoga but enriched by the collective wisdom of other movement and exercise disciplines. There is no one way to do them, only the way that suits your body, in this moment. I have worked with all kinds of people including absolute movement beginners. The beauty of therapeutic yoga is that you don’t have to be flexbile or be able to balance on one leg to begin. Your body is adaptable, it just needs the right input through an intelligently designed, individualised programme.
Holistic approach
While there are a lot of valuable tools across different disciplines I draw from, the unique benefit of yoga is it’s understanding of the person as a whole, especially the connection between the body and the mind. Scientifically speaking, this has proven to be of immense benefit for people struggling with musculoskeletal complaints. Alongside building strength, flexibility and balance, you will learn to understand your body better. Not only that, you will also learn useful techniques that help with relaxation and stress reduction if this is something that would be of benefit to you.
Supported by science
My priority when working with people is using techniques that are grounded in the scientific understanding of the body and the mind. I have extensive training in movement science and the science of yoga, which helps me design programmes that focus on developing movement intelligence, a skill you can take away with you. A lot of the intuitive teachings of yoga, including breath practices, mind/body awareness tools and meditation have an increasing amount of evidence to support their effectiveness. I teach all of those techniques with a down to earth approach.
