Yoga
My yoga classes are for all levels of practice, and they vary from gentle to dynamic, focusing on breath, alignment, and strength while bringing a mix of styles together. I believe yoga can embody strength, gentleness, dynamism, stillness, and fun.
As a yoga instructor, I have seen my students grow and progress in their practice, with some even becoming certified teachers.
Yoga has been the best gift I have given myself. — I love sharing with anyone looking to explore the ever-learning journey of yoga!
I invite you to attend my classes at Abilene Yoga House and discover the transformative power of yoga.
A brief history
The practice of Yoga originates in ancient India; the word yoga itself derives from the Sanskrit root “Yuj,” which means “to yoke,” “to unite,” “to add,” or “to join.”
Yoga is a multidisciplinary science, very helpful in purifying the mind and body, and in gaining control over our minds and emotions.
“Asana,” a Sanskrit word meaning “seat,” refers to any physical pose in yoga practice. In asana practice, one uses the breath in combination with movement.
By focusing on our breathing, we can be present in the body and learn to listen to the subtle hints we receive, as we move from one yoga pose to the next.
Intentional breathing can help in many ways, releasing heat, letting go of resistance, being in the here and now, and allowing for clarity of mind.
There are many styles of Yoga, including Hatha, Iyengar, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Bheemashakti, Restorative, Yin Yoga, and more. Ranging from gentle to physically strenuous to more meditative, breath-focused styles.

After a successful corporate career, divorce, motherhood, years of reinvention, and personal transformation, I realized something important:
Many of the patterns keeping women stuck were never truly theirs to begin with.
They were inherited from family, culture, survival, and through generations of emotional programming.
I am here to help you identify those patterns, reconnect with yourself, and create a life that feels truly yours.

Olesia Chayko
In my Reiki session, I managed to break the wall in my mind that prevented me from opening my heart. I literally saw the image of it falling down. Then I stepped over its ruins and walked into the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen. At that moment, I realized that this is how living with an open heart looks and feels like. It felt so light, easy, and natural. I didn’t want this to end. — It surprised me that the heart can breathe and I CAN FEEL and hear that breath. I enjoyed every moment of it and want to turn that experience into a skill. It was absolutely sensational for me. I never experienced anything like that before.
