TEAM
THE FOUNDER OF KURMALIFE, OLEG FLOW
Posture and Pain-Free Living Expert
Oleg Flow is a yoga educator, movement specialist, and creator of Kurma Life, a holistic program that integrates yoga, pilates, martial arts, physiotherapy, and other disciplines to restore balance and functionality in the body.
Born in Ukraine, Oleg Flow was introduced to yoga at a young age by his mother, who taught it despite its obscurity in the-Soviet era. A lifelong athlete, he trained in swimming, soccer, judo—competing internationally for Ukraine—and taekwondo before discovering the deeper aspects of yoga through philosophy and meditation. In 1992, he began practicing under Kali Ray (KaliJi), founder of TriYoga International, and soon started teaching.
Over the years, Oleg Flow has traveled the world, teaching at festivals, retreats, and conferences across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. He has also been featured on major television networks, including Ukraine’s leading national channels and Chinese TV, sharing his expertise in movement and wellness with a wider audience.
After moving to the U.S. in 2007, he spent a decade as the lead exercise instructor at a rehab clinic, developing specialized yoga programs for people in recovery.
With Kurma Life—named after the Sanskrit word for “turtle,” symbolizing the importance of slowing down—Oleg Flow focuses on reprogramming movement patterns and integrating mindful, functional training into daily life. His approach emphasizes working with the body's natural mechanics and blending the best elements from various physical disciplines. Additionally, he developed the Handstand Clinic, a method that prioritizes upper-body function over performing a handstand for its own sake.
With over 30 years of teaching experience, Oleg Flow continues to inspire others through workshops, retreats, and personalized programs designed to cultivate longevity, strength, and inner balance.
