All bodies are welcome in Olivia's classes and students can expect a safe, well-rounded, breath-centered practice with lots of imagination and opportunities to play. Students are given many options to modify their practice in a way that balances challenge and restoration to meet their personal needs. Olivia has personal experience using yoga to address knee, back, and neck injuries, anxiety, depression, burnout, insomnia, and chronic pain. She has worked extensively with creatives, care workers, children& families, veterans. and people who are in recovery, neurodivergent, and/or living with post-traumatic stress.

A lifelong student of movement, embodied practices, and spiritual philosophies, Olivia has been practicing yoga since high-school sports injuries & subsequent surgeries brought her to a class in 2003. After receiving a 200-hr Hatha flow yoga certification in 2012, she went on to become a trauma-informed IAYT-certified Yoga Therapist with additional training & certifications in Viniyoga, Restorative, Pre/Postnatal, Children’s Yoga, Yoga of 12 Step Recovery, and Yoga Tune Up®. Her yoga practice & teaching is also informed by training in storytelling, dance, martial arts, and myofascial release. She is eternally grateful to her teachers, including Ana Pilar Cruz, Nikki Meyers, Judith Lasater, Sadie Nardini, DeLora Frederickson, Mark Uridel, Emily Smith, Chase Bossart, Elizabeth Bossart, Jill Miller, Douglas Brooks, Jenn Wooten, and MANY more.
