Olivia Clarke : Yoga Teacher

Olivia's teaching style


Upward facing dog poseA long term practitioner of Yoga and Buddhist Mindfulness, Olivia has been teaching since 1998 and came to yoga at a young age. She went to her first class in her early twenties and never looked back. Very quickly she realised this was to be her path and vocation in life and committed fully to it. She has trained with global experts and is a fully endorsed Insight Yoga Teacher and member of the The British Wheel of Yoga. Her teaching style is slow, mindful, insightful and deep and will appeal to those who wish to integrate psychological and spiritual teachings, in an embodied and nuanced way. She helps individuals to craft a consistent, intelligent and personal practice, that feels relevant, potent and intentional, empowering others to become their own Healing Master. A mother of two daughters, a lover of horses, whippets and wild landscapes, Olivia lives in Monmouthshire, Wales and runs a private, wellbeing retreat, where she loves to work in an intimate and personal way, with individuals and groups - www.thecoachhouseretreat.co.uk
