About me
I am a qualified seasonal yoga and Yo-Chi teacher with experience teaching yoga to both children and adults. I found yoga (or rather yoga found me) in mid-life after a long career in the world of Science. I had practised yoga personally for many years, alongside my busy lifestyle as a career professional and mother, and found it helped my flexibility, general and mental well-being and kept niggling back issues at bay.
Whilst leading extra-curricular yoga clubs in my role as a Science teacher, I noticed the beneficial impact it had on the children in my class, strengthening my belief that yoga is for everyone and all ages. The skills to look after our mental and physical wellbeing have never been more important. I offer one to one and small or larger group sessions online or in person, based in the beautiful scenery of Devon.

What People Are Saying

I'm 82 with a dicky heart and truly no good at yoga. But don't let that put anyone off, everyone else is both much younger and much better. It is a tribute to Olivia's excellence as a teacher that I feel ok about that rather feeling hopelessly out of place....

My husband and I have been going to Olivia's Yoga Nidra class for around 10 weeks. I must say I was a little unsure about how I would get back into yoga after a break of 15 years or so. Plus I had a painful frozen shoulder and could hardly move my right arm and shoulder. I needn't have worried....

The wild rose is a symbol of love, protection, and the untamed spirit of nature. I have chosen it to represent my yoga style and beliefs as it adapts and changes with the seasons. The colours pink and green represent Anahata (the heart chakra), associated with love, compassion, emotional balance, and healthy relationships.
