Olga Flores - Owner/Founder
Olga has run a successful luxury salon for years focusing on excellent customer service. Over the past few years she's struggled with injuries that have kept her from her lifelong love with fitness. During that time she began using Himalayan Salt lamps in her home first to help her daughter deal with general anxiety disorder, then to ease her own symptoms from migraines, then to help her husband's sleep disorders. After falling in love with yoga while using it to help her recover from injuries, she came upon the idea to combine the two! Breathe Salt Yoga and salt therapy provide the perfect mix of inner and outer health and Olga is proud to share the benefits with the Bay Area.
