Avani Yoga Instructor
Olga Rudiak
Bio
Olga’s life goes in cycles of 31 years. Her first life happened in Ukraine. Since she came to the US at the age of 31, she worked as an organizational effectiveness consultant helping businesses to maximize the effects of technologies and human talents on the bottom line (a mouthful, huh?)
Once introduced to yoga, she became enchanted with its beauty and healing effects on the human body, mind, spirit, and emotions. Driven by the desire to share her own yogic experiences and benefits with others, at the age of 62 Olga completed teacher training program and now teaches Kundalini style, as well as the traditional Hatha Basics in a variety of levels (from Chair and Gentle to Level 2, student ages from 12 to 93) with emphasis on breathing and body awareness.
As a teacher, she brings to the students the healing powers of yoga at multiple levels: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual. In her classes, she strives to create a safe practice by steering towards self-study, paying attention to body alignment, all the while keeping students’ excitement by offering challenging elements in asanas and kriyas.
When the students leave the practice, they feel at peace, confident, exhilarated, and empowered from within.
