When we're traveling, we enjoy dropping into a class and if you happen to be in the beach town of Carpinteria, CA, we suggest Olada Yoga at Linden Square, which opened this month. Casey Glassman earned a BS from Cornell University and a Master's Degree and is a licensed mental health therapist. Through her work, she found the impact that yoga has as a means for balance and well-being in a demanding profession. She saw the connection between mental health and yoga and became a certified yoga teacher and completed her 500-hour training under Meghan Currie in Bali. She trained in mat and reformer Pilates at the Pilates Sports Center in LA.

She created Olada Yoga where Ola is Hawaiian for life, health, vitality, and wellness Lada is the Baltic goddess of love, beauty, and harmony. Olada revolves around mindfulness, connection and holistic well-being. They emphasise the importance of fostering a deep connection between the mind, body and spirit through the practice of yoga and Pilates.

The studio space is one that evokes calm, serenity, warmth, and inspiration. It is an airy, inviting space, where natural light pours in. You can look forward to an experience that looks and feels more like a luxury wellness spa or home, than a fitness studio.

You can enjoy taking Reformer Pilates and yoga in 2 spaces that are separated by a movable wall that can be opened to creaye a large space for immersive wellness workshops and events. One studio is fully equipped with Allegro 2 Reformers by Balanced Body, supporting dynamic, athletic-style Pilates classes. The adjacent studio hosts a variety of yoga styles, including vinyasa, power, and sculpt, providing something for every level and preference.

There is also a beautifully curated retail space that reflects its holistic approach to wellness. Guests can shop a selection of curated stylish activewear, and premium skincare products.
