I scheduled private sessions with Olga for my low back and sciatica pain. Olga is extremely knowledgeable of the anatomy and geared our sessions to specifically address the areas causing my pain. Olga provided me with stretches and moves to do at home, which is crucial in order to have a successful outcome. These exercises have become part of my daily routine. Olga would always stress the importance of proper form and would ensure my understanding. She is a true professional in every sense of the word, and has helped me immensely. I have expressed to my doctor how much the One-on One experience with Yoga has eliminated my need for pain medication. I have and will continue to encourage others to consider the Yoga with Olga to help improve their aches and pains. I still have chronic pain from time to time, but Olga has given me the tools to help. This was the best money I ever spent to improve my quality of living.

I've taken Olga's advanced yoga classes for 2 years and also had a few private sessions with her. Olga is the most knowledgeable and inspiring Yoga teacher I have ever had. I am certified as a teacher myself and have practiced Yoga for close to 20 years. Olga's knowledge of anatomy and many different asanas allows her to guide her students in a sequential, uplifting and spiritual practice. Olga is creative and there is always something new and challenging in her sessions. However, she also works with modifications and teaches students on many different levels. Olga also inspires me with her positive and nurturing views on how Yoga can represent and enhance a student's abilities off the mat. I am constantly inspired to be a better yogi and a better person after a session with her. I highly recommend Olga as a teacher whether you are a beginner or an advanced student or anywhere in between.

Following hip replacement surgery and at the urging of my daughter, I began a series of weekly private yoga sessions with Olga to complement and enhance the physical therapy treatments my doctor prescribed. I arrived at my first session with Olga unable to drive myself, unable to easily get up from a chair, and definitely unable to sit on my yoga mat. Thanks to Olga's careful attention to every aspect of my alignment and movements and to the progressive asanas she introduced me to as she saw I was able to safely challenge myself, 12 sessions later I am (almost!) able to resume the personal yoga practice I enjoyed years ago. I cannot recommend Olga and her caring, knowledgeable approach to yoga highly enough. She has helped me get my life back again!

As an acupuncturist, my personal healing journey path started decades ago. My healing journey with Olga started almost a year ago. I have residual one-sided tightness that caused low back pain, neck/shoulders and IT band tightness. And, I am in desperate need of rejuvenation! I decided to give the One-on-One yoga a try for a couple of months. I wanted to take actions that helped to lift my spirit, sooth my mind and eliminating my pain while enhancing my healing journey. At our first meeting, Olga said two things that I carry with me for the rest of my life. Firstly, Olga mentioned that while I have been receiving treatments, I was a passive participant. I have been an acupuncturist for over 10 years and had never invested the time and energy toward healing myself by active participation. These are the same concept I use with my clients. ‘Physicians heal thyself’ was what I needed to hear. Secondly, Olga would start with restorative postures. The languaging Olga used resonate well with me. Olga's deep knowledge of anatomy, structures and functions help me to capture the essence of the poses I was relearning. Each pose heightens my own awareness of my own forms. Olga has the innate ability to meet me where I am when I walk in her studio. I know that on occasions, Olga has 'redesigned' her class so that I was able to meet my challenges at that particular moments. My session is designed for me!!! In my session with Olga, I experience concentrated treatment promoting deep healing, inner calmness, therapeutic intuition and heightened proprioceptive awareness. Ten months down the road, standing tall and erect, my aches and pains are much diminished. I find peace within. I want to thank Olga for the deeply transformative One on One yoga sessions. These sessions have provided the opportunity growth – both personal and professional. I have not been feel so well since I do not know when…- perhaps forever. My 68 years old body does not ache anymore, my feet are firmly grounded, my neck range of motion improve, my pelvis level is more in balance. I feel young with more energy to devote to my patients and people I love. One-on-One Yoga has given my life back. I know that I am worth it, I deserve it. And, I need it….. Everyone does. With much gratitude. Margie February 2017

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
How Is Yoga Different From Stretching or Other Kinds of Fitness? Unlike stretching or fitness, yoga is more than just physical postures. Patanjalis eight-fold path illustrates how the physical practice is just one aspect of yoga. Even within the physical practice, yoga is unique because we connect the movement of the body and the fluctuations of the mind to the rhythm of our breath. Connecting the mind, body, and breath helps us to direct our attention inward. Through this process of inward attention, we learn to recognize our habitual thought patterns without labeling them, judging them, or trying to change them. We become more aware of our experiences from moment to moment. The awareness that we cultivate is what makes yoga a practice, rather than a task or a goal to be completed. Your body will most likely become much more flexible by doing yoga, and so will your mind.
