For over three decades, Gayle Olson has been guiding people toward strength, balance, and ease—on and off the mat. As a yoga, fitness, and wellness coach, she’s led more than 100 luxury retreats around the world, from African safaris and Croatian sailboats to 5-star Wine, Dine & Yoga getaways across Europe. Now, at Olive Hill Sonoma, Gayle’s lifelong vision of creating her own retreat space has come to life.

Gayle’s approach is deeply rooted in Iyengar and alignment based Yoga, personal training, and meditation, but her true gift is her ability to read the room — and each body — offering personalized, intuitive guidance that meets her clients exactly where they are.

She specializes in working with adults 50+, blending mindful movement, breathwork, and alignment to support strength, stability, and nervous system balance. Whether leading a retreat, a private session, or a wellness experience, Gayle creates a space where guests feel supported, empowered, and connected—in body, mind, and heart.
