When Olivia first considered becoming a yoga teacher, it felt like a fantasy—she felt she lacked the necessary strength and skill to become an instructor. She took the leap anyway and jumped in with both feet. By the time graduation day rolled around, she was impassioned not only to continue her own yoga routine, but to share the power of the practice with others!

Olivia received her 200-hour yoga teacher certification in 2025 at Baptiste Power Yoga Nashville and started teaching at Small World Yoga upon graduation. She loves the self-trust and mind-body connection that she is able to develop through the process of showing up on her mat day after day. Her favorite part of teaching is creating space for people to explore these relationships within themselves. Olivia has a special interest in the value of yoga in the process of trauma recovery, and she looks forward to furthering her education in this area of focus. Outside of yoga, Olivia enjoys playing the fiddle, reading, and hiking with her dog, Poppy.
