Meet Olia
Olia Yag · Founder of MendingSlow
Strength and mindful movement, made sustainable.
I created MendingSlow to make strength and mindful movement feel like a sustainable part of everyday life.
My work combines personal training, yoga, and practical movement education with an emphasis on technique, consistency, and confidence.
I share home workouts on YouTube and offer personalized 60-minute training sessions in South Orange County.
My approach
Calm, intelligent and built around you.
Training is structured, supportive, and progressively adjusted as you improve.
Technique first
Good form and clear cues, so strength carries over into everyday movement.
Consistency over extremes
Fitness that feels purposeful and approachable, not rushed or extreme.
Strength, mobility, yoga and balance
Sessions blend strength, core stability, mobility, balance and movement confidence.
Open to many adults
Busy parents, women over 35 and anyone who wants a calm, intelligent, sustainable way to build strength and move well.
