Seeking consistent practice?

Set up and maintain a regular movement practice from home, on your own terms. Move with ease, decompress, develop mobility and build strength.

You may have heard that yoga & strength are good for you — if only you actually did it. You value health and longevity — but things constantly get in the way. Public yoga classes or gyms just don’t feel right… and you are not quite sure about their methods.

Welcome to your one-to-one practice: personalised to you, methodically planned, informed by decades of education and experience, across more than one discipline. Friendly support, gentle accountability and expert guidance that extends beyond the sessions — it doesn’t get better than that.

We will begin by analysing your current ‘movement diet’ and come up with a plan to optimise it. We will then meet online, once or several times a week for practices of your choice: flow yoga, slow yoga, strength or pilates. Healthy movement begins here.

  • Flow Yoga

    Have the confidence to move however you want, with ease and without tension. Tap into a sense of joy and freedom through movement.

    Flow yoga combines creative movement with mobility and mindfulness, designed specifically for you, evolving as you progress.

    It is a practice for those who love free flowing, meditative movement with playful, creative moments along the way.

    Finding a sense of effortlessness creates a feeling of flow that makes daily life feel lighter — flow yoga benefits both body and mind.

  • Slow Yoga

    Decompress, stretch out & cultivate calm. Respond to life from a place of greater ease and presence with slow yoga.

    Slow yoga draws from yin & restorative yoga, combining mindfulness with movement and stillness to help soothe the nervous system.

    Flowing through moments of slow movement, gentle activation, mindful mobility and longer holds — for a sense of spaciousness in the body and mind.

    Slow classes create a feeling of grounding and calm, nourishing you in more than one way.

  • Strength

    Feel like your body is there to support you. Take on new challenges and keep doing what you love — forever.

    The impact of strength training on health is so profound, it’s almost unbelievable. It is key to longevity, capacity and independence.

    Strength reverses age related loss of muscle and bone, helps prevent a myriad of diseases and has a powerful effect on mental and cognitive health too.

    The practice is fully adapted to you, with a steady and mindful approach.

  • Pilates

    Build awareness, control and muscle endurance with targeted, isolated exercises. Pilates is a low impact, mat-based, mindful exercise flow.

    Similarly to yoga, pilates is great at building body awareness: a sense of feeling & understanding your structure in detail.

    It is a really great way to support your spine, hips and shoulders and build a foundation for other movement practices.

    If you want to stretch out as well as engage, pilates can be infused with yoga, for a powerful restorative approach.

  • "Incredibly convenient."

    I think of Olga as my 'personal movement specialist'. She's like a personal trainer, but focused on an array of healthy movement practices, with a high level of knowledge in each. Being able to choose between yoga, rehabilitation, strength, and pilates is incredibly convenient. I don’t need to join multiple studios, or even leave the house, and I appreciate not having to adapt to new instructors who aren’t familiar with my needs. She is always open to answering questions on the go, which is a huge bonus. I usually do one yoga class and one strength class per week, and therapeutic yoga is available whenever I need it. — Michelle

  • "Supportive for body & mind."

    Working with Olga has been invaluable to support my mental and physical wellness. I started working with her for a hamstring injury, but her knowledge and expertise have taken me on a journey I never expected! We work together on mindfulness, strength and yoga. Her expertise in all areas shines through! Mindfulness has become an integral part of my life, all thanks to Olga. I look forward to each session, knowing each will be a unique experience. Olga's practice is supportive for both body and mind. — Hannah

  • "She clearly knows her stuff!"

    I really love my yoga, and it's in big part down to Olga’s holistic approach. Especially that she understands movement across so many different techniques, from restorative yoga all the way to strength training and skill development! She can spot things in my movement that I’d assumed would not be visible. I’m surprised that she can see these, especially as we are working online and not in person... but she clearly knows her stuff! — Sophie

  • "My new, favourite thing."

    I was recommended Olga's class by a friend and since the first one it was my new favourite thing I would always look forward to! Olga was great at getting me to do tricky moves in playful and fun ways! I would always leave the class feeling rested and uplifted. — Rasa

  • "Talented & patient teacher."

    Olga is a talented and patient yoga teacher. I have done flow yoga with her, where she takes you through different flows and gives you live feedback. The flows have easier for variations for the less flexible amongst us. I particularly like the online teaching as you can constantly see Olga when you need to! I've noticed on my smartwatch that my stress level goes down to zero after Olga's classes. — Nick

  • "I was made to feel relaxed."

    Olga is a fantastic teacher – tuning into everyone's individual level. I hadn’t done much movement before I joined the class but was made to feel very relaxed and welcome. I’d highly recommend her classes to anyone looking for a good workout, great people and having fun learning movement! — Cat

  • "Empowered to have the tools."

    I’ve noticed that I’m using breathing techniques and I’m aware of how I move outside of the classes or even exercise. This has helped to ground me and reduce stress. Its really down to the way Olga describes movement and breathing. She has a unique way of helping you to visualise and tune in to the process. I feel empowered to have these tools to take with me outside of Olga’s careful teaching. - Jen

  • "She is a wealth of knowledge."

    Olga is a wealth of knowledge in one person. As a circus acrobat, my work puts my body through an intense amount of stress. Olga has helped me become more aware of my body, and guided me in structuring my training. Thanks Olga! — Callum

  • "Absolutely loving my classes."

    Absolutely loving my one to one classes with Olga. Her feedback is detailed, relevant and really clearly explained. As an adult beginner you can inadvertently do things incorrectly and this might not be picked up in a large group class. It's a perfect arrangement that allows me to practice in my own time and benefit from personalised feedback. — Jen

  • "I have fallen in love with yoga."

    I started yoga classes with Olga at the beginning of lockdown. I wasn’t new to yoga, but I’d only practised a few times in my life and had never really gotten much out of it. With Olga’s calm, positive and practical help, I’ve become so much stronger and more flexible but more importantly, I have fallen in love with yoga. I even practise on my own sometimes which I never thought I’d do! — Catriona

  • "Thoroughly enjoyable."

    I thoroughly enjoy Olga's classes. Her teaching makes me feel relaxed and able to try new forms of movement, pushing my physical and mental confidence. And of course, I laugh a lot as we work through new sequences! Thank you. — Naomi

  • "The highlight of my week!"

    Olga’s classes are one of the highlights of my week. It’s great to get to explore different ways of moving, and I love the process that Olga takes us through of familiarizing yourself with the movements and smoothing out points of friction to make them soft and fluid. It feels really useful for developing my spatial awareness, strength and control and I’m sure that’s made a difference outside class too. Thanks Olga! — Ali

  • "Movement expertise."

    I thoroughly enjoyed my one to one session with Olga which she planned around my (quite specific) requests. I enjoyed learning some examples from dance, yoga and pilates. Overall I would highly recommend Olga – her friendly manner combined with her attention to detail and movement expertise make her an excellent instructor. — Marianne

  • "Boundless encouragement."

    I always look forward to Olga’s movement classes. She creates a calm, welcoming space and her enthusiasm and encouragement is boundless. Olga’s patient and thorough teaching style makes the classes a joy and her sense of humour, priceless! — Sophie

  • "Enjoyable & interesting."

    I have been attending Olga's online yoga and pilates classes since March 2020 and can't recommend them highly enough. She ensures that they are always enjoyable and interesting and I credit her classes with keeping me sane throughout the lockdowns. Olga is a really patient and encouraging teacher and provides adaptations to suit all levels and abilities (including those of us who can barely touch our knees!) so as I've improved there have always been new challenges. — Rachel

  • "Friendly, attentive & caring."

    I can't recommend Olga's yoga classes enough. They are flowsome and energising, strengthening and challenging, with just the right degree of each to meet each individual's needs. Her instruction of movement is detailed and clear, focusing on how to execute poses and transitions with ease and for best results. Olga is a friendly, attentive and caring instructor who will go above and beyond in offering follow up advice after class. She's a wee gem! — Jen

  • "I've grown & developed a lot."

    I always look forward to class with Olga. She has a fantastic teaching style and personality and makes everyone at all levels feel welcome and empowered. I've grown and developed a lot under Olga's tuition. — Jen

  • "I've learned such a lot!"

    Olga is a great teacher. I love her gentle and supportive approach… and her knowledge, I’ve learned such a lot! — Wyn

  • "Accessible to different levels."

    Olga is a brilliant yoga teacher. She is always really well prepared and focused on the individual needs of the students in her classes. She is passionate about what she does and has an amazing awareness of the human body from her dance background. Her instructions are always clear and concise — everything flows from one position to another seamlessly. Her teaching method is so accessible to different skill levels. She is also just a really lovely person. I highly recommend Olga’s yoga classes. You will not be disappointed. — Harry

  • "Friendly & personalised."

    Olga's online classes and workshops have been really informative, friendly and personalised. They have helped me to improve stability and active range around areas I had previously experienced injuries. As a professional dancer, her support has helped me to build a strong and mindful warm up sequence which I'm able to use to prepare for performances. Her tools for yoga teachers such as the Yoga Pad, sequencing inspiration videos and 1-1 conversations, have also helped me to gain confidence in teaching new postures and integrating anatomical work into classes. — Jay

Meet your teacher

Hi — I’m Olga, a movement educator from Edinburgh, Scotland, and I’m here to guide you on your journey.

I have spent over two decades exploring bodies in motion — movement is my first language. I started with contemporary dance: a physical, meditative, creative practice of finding yourself in motion.

The exploratory nature of dance sparked my curiosity for movement science — I like to know the “why.” The mind–body approach led me to mindfulness, my anchor for the last 13 years. Everything naturally fell together when I discovered yoga.

I’m a lifelong learner, a lover of nuance, and get the most joy out of supporting people in becoming the best version of themselves.
