About me
Namaste. My name is Olha, I'm a Hatha yoga instructor and sound healing practitioner based in Calgary, Canada.
My yoga journey began back in 2020 in Ukraine, where I first stepped onto the mat looking for nothing more than a way to move and breathe. What I found instead was a practice that quieted my mind, grounded me through hard times, and taught me how to really listen to my own body.
When I moved to Canada, yoga became my anchor, something familiar to hold onto in a brand-new life. That connection eventually led me to take the next step: a year ago, I became a certified 200-hour Hatha yoga teacher, ready to share what had given me so much.
Around the same time, I felt pulled toward another form of healing through sound. Since December 2025, I've been practicing with singing bowls, drawn in by how a single tone can soften a room and settle a racing mind. I held my first crystal bowl sound bath in March 2026, and it's quickly become something I can't imagine my practice without.
Today, I bring both of these passions, mindful Hatha yoga and sound healing, together to help others find calm, balance, and a deeper connection to themselves.
My Teaching Values
Yoga and sound healing, for me, are more than practices, they're a lifestyle rooted in mindfulness and compassion. Whether I'm guiding a yoga class or a sound bath, these are the values I hold onto:
No pressure, no pain
Whether on the mat or lying back for a sound bath, the experience should always feel safe, accessible, and supportive, never forced.
Community
Practicing together, whether through movement or sound, creates support, inspiration, and shared growth.
Accessibility
Yoga and sound healing should be available to everyone, no matter their experience, age, or body type.
Connection first
Breath and awareness guide each yoga movement, and presence guides each sound session, rather than chasing a "perfect" pose or outcome.
Wellness
Both yoga and sound healing are paths to mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
Approach to Yoga
I believe yoga should never be about pain, pressure, or forcing your body into a perfect shape. It's about how you feel inside your body in each moment. The same goes for sound healing: there's nothing to do or achieve, just space to lie back, breathe, and let the sound do its work. My approach to both is gentle, mindful, and beginner-friendly, so you can start exactly where you are.
My goal is to create a safe, supportive space, whether through movement or sound, where you can release stress, let go of tension, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with yourself.
