Yoga With Olivia
Find Your Flow, Every Body Welcome
Olivia Reardon @yogaveta teaching Yoga Flow Classes in Little Aston, Streetly, Sutton Coldfield, Shenstone, Lichfield and beyond.
“We will flow together in sequence connecting mind, body and breath, releasing tension and increasing your energy. Work at your own pace and trust your body to find balance, strength and flexibility.”
— Olivia Reardon (yogaveta)
Why Yoga?
Yoga is so much more than ‘just a stretch’.
This wonderful ancient practice:
Preserves integrity of muscles and joints
Improves posture and strengthens abdominals
Improves coordination
Reduces tiredness due to increased circulation
Supports balance and movement with conscious, effective breathing
Increases sense of relaxation and wellbeing due to lengthened exhales activating your parasympathetic nervous system
Note: benefits are experienced with consistent practise.
Why Olivia?
With a martial arts background, Olivia learned to strengthen her body, use breath for movement and focus energy, all transferable to yoga. Olivia has applied this awareness, discipline and focus to her life and to her yoga practise.
Olivia started her yoga journey at the gym in 2015 and became hooked on yoga, pilates and body balance classes. The ancient yogic philosophies felt familiar to her martial arts history and Olivia chose to pursue yoga, more specifically the Ashtanga practice. Over the years, Olivia has attended many retreats, workshops and tried many styles of yoga. Olivia was encouraged to do the teacher training many times and like many of us always found a reason not to, she finally did so and as a result, found her reason why.
She cannot wait to welcome you.
Olivia is also a registered healthcare professional, understanding the holistic nature of the body and the benefits of positive, meaningful interactions with people.
Olivia is insured, has an enhanced DBS and is First Aid trained.
What to expect?
A chance to leave your busy life at the door and take 60 minutes for yourself. Over time and with regular attendance, you will feel more balanced, strengthened and flexible.
The class is a group session Vinyasa flow with Ashtanga influence. You can expect a reasonable challenge with plenty of options for you to choose your own level of comfort.
The aim is for you to unwind and leave feeling uplifted.
See you soon!
