Olga Sokolova

a classically trained ballerina, spent years inside movement forms that were structured, rigid, and often disconnected from the body’s natural rhythm.

Over time, her path led her beyond performance—into a deeper exploration of how the body actually wants to move. She began integrating a wide range of modalities: from functional mobility systems to ancient practices such as tai chi and qi gong, discovering that true strength and healing emerge when we return to movement that is instinctive, sustainable, and alive.

MIDLGROUND was born from this journey. It’s not a method, but a meeting place—where function and flow, discipline and intuition, strength and softness come together.

This video offers a look inside the heart of the work: how it supports physical recovery, regulation, and a deeper sense of embodiment.
