Ola moved to Champaign from the suburbs of Chicago to study kinesiology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  Her interest in human movement grew after trying yoga for the first time in 2010. In 2012, she invested her time to complete a yoga teacher training through YogaWorks.  Her passion for yoga continued to blossom.  She discovered the benefits of restorative postures in a yoga practice so she also pursued Yapana Restorative Yoga Therapy certification to integrate into her sequences.  In May 2013, Ola earned her BS in Kinesiology but desires to continue studying.  She is planning to attend graduate school but until then she is keeping herself busy.  Currently her mornings consist of yoga and volunteering at an Exercise Neuroscience Research Lab while her evenings consist of working as a Mental Health Technician.  In the future, she hopes to gain the expertise to heal a person’s mind, body, and spirit through the power of yoga by becoming a Yoga Therapist.
