About me

Foto
Hi, my name is Olga and I am a certified yoga teacher based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, experienced in Hatha, Vinyasa flow and Ashtanga yoga.
I offer accessible yoga classes and other 'active life' events to people that would like to be and stay active in every stage of their life.


Here’s my story. I’ve been practising Yoga since 2010. I discovered it at a moment when I lost the balance between my family and job as a lawyer. I lost my personality and forgot about my interests. Even an exhausting one-hour daily session of running was no longer enough to help me sleep at night. Eventually, I decided to add Yoga classes to my stressful daily routine. And It was love at a first sight! After the very first practice, my curiosity and interest were awaken. Besides, getting this feeling of being connected with myself physically, mentally, spiritually… it got me hooked up in an instant and for good.   
 
That’s how my Yoga journey begun. I was (and I still am) curious and eager to learn and explore more. I want to discover all traditions, styles, teachings. Every class I attend, every book I read reveals a bit of philosophy, a lot of inspiration, love and creativity. Now Yoga is my life.
 
Up until now, I’ve experienced the balance of Integral Yoga, the simplicity of Sivananda Yoga, the creativity of Vinyasa Flow Yoga, the power of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, the challenge of Yin Yoga, the energy of Prana Flow Yoga and the magic of working with kids. Every tradition, every class, every minute as a student, disciple and a teacher inspire me to create my own teaching style and build my personal presence in the Yoga room. Today I invite you to experience Yoga with me.
 
Happiness. Peace. Freedom. Light. Calmness. Flexibility. Power. Gratitude. Creativity. Courage. Connection. Fun. 

That’s what I practice in and out of the classroom as a passionate life-long Yoga learner and a devoted teacher. Join me on this journey.

You can find me teaching in Amsterdam (NL) or running a yoga holidays around the world - on- and offline.

Who are "my" students?
I know, it sounds weird... "My" students? No, these are the people I really love and enjoy working, sharing yoga and practising with.
Who they think they are? Well, I asked them and here are the answers.
They think they are active, funny, creative, loving, caring, playful, artistic, curious, adventurous, sensitive, optimistic explorers, nature- and outdoor life lovers, dedicated parents and simply homo sapiens. 
They love walking, having fun, painting, cooking, gardening, biking (of course, we are in Netherlands), playing sports, swimming, dancing, running, hiking, making pictures, art, reading, sleeping (we all do love sleeping!), being by the sea, spending time with their families, being connected, being offline, being seen and felt...
What I see when we practise together?
I see beautiful passionate conscious souls, who love challenges and never give up. I see lovable people, who's hearts are so big and open, so they could hug the whole world. 
And it makes me wake up every morning with a smile and energy, it makes my heart singing.

Thank you for being part of my life and yoga journey. Thank you for having me in your lives.

Namaste.

What "My"students say about my classes?
Again: "My" students?!?!... Come on. The people I love working, sharing and practising yoga with.
I asked them. Here is what they said:
BE ACTIVE, Stay ACTIVE - Some others dreams and goals...
As a multi-passionate person, I have always worked on more projects related to yoga and active life than just teaching yoga (like running a tiny yoga shala in the mountain where there will be affordable yoga and hiking retreats; like starting a monthly yoga membership, designed for busy people; like hiking and filming the Balkan Mountain trek - from peak Kom to cape Emine; like doing karma yoga and voluntary work in Bihar School of Yoga ashram in Munger, India, etc.).

I wish I could dedicate more time to these projects but life challenges and the reality we all live in brought me back to "having a real job" :) and working behind-the-desk for living.

I do believe that there will be time and space in the Universe where I will be able to focus only on yoga and realize all my projects. 

This is the reason for keeping a donation page active - if you feel like supporting me - you are very welcome to donate or contact me - maybe we share dreams and could cooperate in making them come true?
