Ashley Galvin
Ashley Galvin is one of the most renowned yoga instructors of the Alo Yoga brand, specializing in Power Vinyasa, which is a dynamic and strength-focused style of yoga. Her classes are extremely challenging and advanced. I had the privilege of attending a 5-day yoga retreat with Ashley in a beautiful town in Mexico. Each day, we practiced intense yoga for 4 hours (two 2-hour sessions) under her guidance, learning advanced techniques along with detailed principles and tips.
In addition to the retreat, there was also a workshop that focused on designing strength-based yoga sequences. During the retreat, Ashley’s husband, who is also a yoga instructor specializing in meditation, joined us. Every morning at 6 AM, before sunrise, we meditated with him, followed by two hours of yoga with Ashley. The day continued with fitness activities and concluded with another yoga session in the evening to prepare us for rest and the next day’s practice.
Ashley Galvin is an exceptional and globally recognized yoga instructor, particularly well-known in the United States. She’s one of the most admired and celebrated figures in the yoga world. Her workshops and classes are truly outstanding and unique, offering a high-quality learning experience that has earned her a large following worldwide.
Jessica Olie
Jessica Olie is one of the most renowned and popular yoga instructors in England, based in London. Recently, I had the privilege of attending one of her unique workshops called “Combining Yoga and Strength Training.” In this workshop, Jessica taught how to integrate weightlifting and strength exercises with yoga poses. We learned how weight training can help us perform challenging yoga asanas more effectively, and, conversely, how yoga can prevent injuries and enhance our performance during strength workouts.
Jessica is the founder of the brand “This is Olie,” which produces yoga equipment and accessories. Since 2024, I’ve had the honor of being a brand ambassador and collaborating with her company. I’ve been following Jessica for over 10 years—she’s the person who inspired my deep love for yoga. I’ve always admired her videos and photos with great enthusiasm, and she’s been one of my biggest role models and favorite figures in the yoga world.
Jessica has been an ambassador for major brands like Gymshark and previously Alo Yoga. She’s incredibly well-known and beloved in England. Finally meeting her in person after all these years felt like a dream come true for me!
