what people are saying
I have been so grateful to Liv for bringing these offerings to our community. I have attended many foundation training classes as well as yoga and Liv is very skilled in her craft, she is attentive and cares deeply about the body and helping others move free from pain. I always feel better after classes. Also the savasana sandwich is the best! If you know, you know, if you don’t then come find out!

I've been seeing Liv for several months in her gorgeous studio for Foundational Training and Zen Thai Shiatsu massage. I was in a lot of pain when I first started going to see her and I can happily say the pain is a lot less now and I feel more grounded in my body! Liv is a highly intuitive, multi-talented, skilled practitioner and healer. I highly recommend her.

Liv is a great instructor! As an osteopathic physician, I appreciate and respect her highly trained and attentive focus on structure and function. She is expertly trained in body mechanics and kinesiology. I highly recomend both her group and private sessions.

The best yoga instructor I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Truly a master at what she does. A uniquely authentic yoga experience indeed.

Joining Liv Yoga was a wonderful decision because it has added a positive experience to my life both physically, and mentally. I feel safe and supported in our sessions and always leave feeling better than when I started. Class act!

Olivia has the touch, presence, confidence and humbleness of someone who has been doing this their whole life. I love that I knew nothing of zenthai shiatsu until I got to experience it fully. I felt like I was in the ocean at times; In the white foam oscillating back and forth- and felt so safe. Other times I was in the air floating gracefully, being whisked away somewhere else. All the movement and pressure and pauses really helped me be present in the moment, which was so healing. Our session was truly a gift.

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!

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!

As a 72 year old, 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.

Liv’s Classes make me feel strong and limber. FT makes me feel pain free, yoga helps the blood flow which aids digestion. All of her classes are organized and fun!
