Neck/shoulder work is always incorporated as this area of the body is a place where we all hold tension emotional/physical Two of her favorite specialty classes to teach are goat yoga and trapeze yoga! Overall Yoga has taught Olivia to enjoy the practice or process of life choosing to learn and grow rather than reaching an end or perfection Learning how to be more present has allowed her to enjoy life in a greater way! A lesson she hopes all of her students will take away from each one of her classes Personal Practice: Olivia loves arm balances of all kinds and looks to incorporate at least one in each class sequence Because a lot of balance poses like half-moon tend to be a weakness she looks to do them more frequently in order to challenge herself Restorative yoga and breath work are a must to keep her sane and healthy in the course of her work as a REALTOR® Back-bends and shoulder mobility come naturally to her and are practiced regularly in order keep the spine young and happy Olivia incorporates weight lifting to her weekly workout routine therefore Yin yoga is a need in order to keep the muscles at ease When in doubt shake it out  “Our bodies are capable of so much if we are only patience enough to let ourselves try and to learn from our attempts” Off The Mat: When Olivia is not teaching yoga she is most enjoying time with her family and looking for ways to give back to the community She is always on the alert for new adventures of any kind In her free time you might find Olivia at the beach soaking up the sun exploring nature playing with videography or curled up watching a new movie with her husband.
