Oko Founders

Sisters, Erin and Katy, were blessed with active childhoods full of swim lessons, gymnastics classes, and backyard play. These experiences laid the foundation for a love of fitness and active lifestyles as adults. In this spirit, they began Oko as a resource for parents wanting to provide intentional, age-appropriate movement activities for their children to help develop the physical skills and confidence needed in life.
