About Us

SELF-CARE. SELF-ACCEPTANCE. SELF-DISCOVERY.

OLI is more than a space to move—it’s a space to come home to yourself.

Founded by sisters Andrea and Mildret, OLI was born from a shared vision: to create a sanctuary for movement, healing, and self-discovery. What started as a “what if” between two sisters became a soulful, community-powered space where people are encouraged to show up exactly as they are.

We believe movement is more than physical—it’s emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal. Whether you're stepping into the studio for the first time or returning to your mat after a long journey, we’re here to meet you where you are. No pressure. No perfection. Just presence.

At OLI, every breath, stretch, shake, and stillness matters. This is a place to release, to remember your strength, and to reconnect—with your body, your truth, and a supportive community that truly sees you.

Named after Olivia—Mildret’s daughter—who was born with a limb difference and reminds us every day that difference is beauty, OLI stands for possibility. It’s a space for soft beginnings, for showing up when it’s hard, and for celebrating every version of you along the way.

We’re here to hold space—for joy and grief, for growth and healing, for solitude and community.

Welcome to OLI. We’re so glad you’re here.

At OLI, we’re committed to nurturing both your physical strength and your inner calm—offering thoughtful guidance for every body and every level.

We’ve created a space that feels like a soft exhale. One that welcomes you exactly as you are.

Whether you're stepping into one of our heated or unheated classes, the dimly lit studio invites you to turn inward, move with intention, and reconnect with yourself—without pressure, without comparison.

Here, you’re held by community. Uplifted by care. And always encouraged to move at your own pace.

In Honor of Olivia

Olivia is the reason behind OLI Studio—our inspiration, our heartbeat, and Mildret’s beloved daughter. Born with a limb difference, her strength, joy, and light shape everything we do.

We are proud supporters of The War Amps and stand in solidarity with the limb difference and limb loss community. At OLI, we believe in celebrating every body—just as it is—and in creating a space where everyone feels seen, empowered, and deeply worthy.

Olivia reminds us every day that beauty takes many forms, and that strength can look like softness, curiosity, and self-love. Her presence grounds us in the belief that inclusivity isn’t just a value—it’s a way of being.

This space is for her. For you. For all of us.

Meet the Founders

  • Hi! I'm Andrea.

    My love for movement started in my scenic island hometown, Roatan, Honduras, where sports and nature first opened my eyes to the deeper benefits of physical activity as a pathway to inner peace and freedom.

    As an instructor in cardio, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), yoga, and dance, I've dedicated myself to nurturing a space where students can joyfully explore their limits and overcome challenges. My own battles with depression and anxiety have underscored the value of self-care and driven my commitment to help others on their journeys to self-discovery.

    I believe that genuine beauty and strength radiate from within, waiting to be discovered and celebrated by all who dare to embrace their authentic selves.

    I can’t wait to see you on the mat!

  • Hi! I’m Mildret,

    I've always harboured a deep desire to effect change in the world, seeing myself as both a dreamer and a driven individual. Since I can remember, starting my own business has been my dream. I worked in various fields for a long time and landed my dream government job. But it wasn't enough.

    Yoga changed my life six years ago when I realized there was a profound connection between me and my inner self. Yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises keep me grounded. Pilates was instrumental in rediscovering myself after giving birth to my daughter, Olivia.

    Olivia, born with a limb difference, ignited a profound commitment within me to create safer spaces for her. Motivated by the absence of these, I resolved to build them, recognizing that enhancing her safety and well-being would benefit others, too. My aim isn't to shield her from the world but to ensure that her inner sanctum remains steadfast, rooted in self-assurance, inner beauty, empathy, and humility.

    This is how OLI was created.
