About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner with years of experience in body-mind education. She brings precision, compassion, and humor to her sessions. Olia was trained in France, to become a certified contemporary dancer, choreographer and movement instructor. Her collaboration with the outstanding butoh dancer and choreographer Carlotta IKEDA was important to her as she discovered new ways of sensing movement, time and space during both the creative and the performing process. In the middle of her performing career, a chronic back pain brought Olia to try the Feldenkrais method, a dynamic somatic practice that improves movement and human functioning through meaningful intention and awareness. Fascinated by the fact that observing and accepting ones needs makes new options possible and ones potential grow, Olia became a certified Feldenkrais practitioner. She feels her purpose is to help people find their way to connect to themselves through embodied experience and facilitate the path of bringing their potential into light.
