Olivia Barry

Olivia has been happily teaching yoga for almost 20 years. Her trainings are focused in three areas: Physical Therapy, Iyengar yoga, and mindfulness meditation. She became an Iyengar Certified Teacher and graduated the Dharma and Yoga Teacher Training at the Spirit Rock Meditation Center.

In addition to teaching classes and workshops at YogaWorks in Los Angeles for about 15 years, she also leads Yoga Teacher Trainings. She has taught dozens of trainings at the 200 and 300 hour levels, including training the trainers, and is the author of the YogaWorks Teacher Training Anatomy Manual.

Olivia's undergraduate education was at UC Berkeley, and she received her Master's in Physical Therapy at CSU Northridge, graduating with Honors. But her movement studies began long before at the San Francisco Ballet School.

In 2018, she and her family made the big move from Los Angeles to Sebastopol, CA, where she, her husband, and her son live amongst towering redwood trees and along a wildlife corridor with their dog, cats, and chickens.

When not working, Olivia is usually playing pirates and knights with her little boy, but she also manages to sneak in some time for gardening, cooking, hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding, and music.
