from pain to performance

Offerings

Foundation Training

The main focus of Foundation Training is to foster healthy movement and postural patterns, create space in the joints and spine, and allow for healthy nerve, blood, and lymph flow. It is a movement practice that counteracts the negative effects of our modern, heavily seated lifestyles. A great option for those with back, shoulder, or foot pain, those coming back from an injury, or anyone who wants to increase their performance doing the sport or passion they love.

Yoga

Yoga helps to bring union between mind and body, through breath, while increasing flexibility and strength, alleviating stress and anxiety, and improving overall physical health and mental clarity. Each practice is tailored to the individual’s needs and goals; beginning exactly where you are and taking a path that leads where you want to go.

Breathwork

Explore your physical, mental, and emotional state, along with that of your nervous system, in relation to your breath. I can help you uncover your ‘breath print’ and work towards restoring proper breathing function and mechanics. There is great potential for physical, mental, and emotional transformation through a variety of guided breathing experiences.

Testimonials

  • “I have been training with Olivia for a bit over a month. I’m finding stability and strength from the movements. I have practiced yoga for years and with my hyper mobility, I’m finding the stability of Foundation Training  is helping me strengthen around my very flexible joints. Olivia is a great teacher, her calm, supportive presence lends well to teaching this amazing program of exercise. Thank you Olivia!”

    Deena Loewenthal-Nakahira

  • “I am grateful to Olivia for her expert teaching in Foundation Training. It has improved my life. I can exercise longer because I’m pain free and have learned tools to move my body better. Walking, horseback riding, yoga, and swimming have all improved because of breathing techniques and the ability to use different parts of my body properly. My knees are more protected, feet have better movement and breathing is fuller. At my recent doctor appointment the doctor commented on the fullness of my breathing. Thank you, Olivia!”

    Consuelo Kammerer

  • “Noticing how my legs and body weren't as flexible as years past, I knew I would need a good program to become more flexible.  Learning all she could about previous health diagnosis and past surgeries, Olivia was very helpful in tailoring my program to my needs. After the first couple of sessions, I started seeing some results as we worked together! She is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher!”

    Sharon Hasting

  • I greatly appreciate Olivia’s awareness of how aging challenges one’s physical self, especially when learning a new movement practice. She patiently explains concepts and modifies movements to match ability as well as perceived limits.
