ABOUT US

We are Jenny and Holly Oak—the two sisters behind Oak Studio! Whether it was completing our first marathon together in 2017, beginning our yoga teacher training, or simply relieving stress from our demanding corporate jobs, we’ve always found ourselves setting the same health and wellness goals. And on one day, it finally clicked—we knew we needed to open our own studio. So, we did! Overcoming doubts and seeking to take on a new adventure together, Oak Studio was officially born, and we can’t wait for you to join us!

Jenny and Holly

JENNY OAK

My journey began while living in Madison, Wisconsin, traveling almost weekly as a project manager and juggling three fitness memberships. I craved a connection to a community and considered any opportunity spent at a fitness class such a treat. I took a leap of faith in 2017, quit my stable career, and moved back home to Ohio where Holly and I worked together to make our dream studio a reality!

HOLLY OAK

To escape the pressure of law school, I attended my first yoga class in 2010 and was amazed at the creative movement that left me energized and refreshed. While working as an attorney, I continued my yoga practice, but kept feeling the weight of stress sitting on my shoulders, except when I was on the mat. Opening a fitness studio with my sister has been a dream realized.
