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. She gives many options, encouraging students to make modifications that balance challenge and restoration to meet their personal needs. Olivia has personal experience using yoga to address knee, back, and neck injuries, anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, and chronic pain.
