Olivia is a highly qualified yoga teacher and wellness practitioner. Her experience in movement and knowledge of the body started from a young age through the medium of dance. It wasn’t until she started her professional training at London Contemporary Dance School that she began to practice yoga despite having a family full of yoga teachers! It seemed a natural progression to become a teacher and completed her 200hr yoga reacher training with the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Academy.
Her yoga classes are the middle ground between a traditional Hatha class and the creative elements of dance/yoga flow. Focus is found on breath and correct alignment in order to heal and strengthen the body. Each class includes elements of pranayama, sun salutation variations, asanas and either meditation or yoga nidra. Aspects of martial arts, shadow yoga, kundalini yoga and massage are also incorporated.
Olivia loves working closely with clients and catering to their specific needs in a fun and imaginative way.
