Olivia F. Scott Yoga Instructor & Educator Bio

YOGA INSTRUCTOR, WELLNESS JOURNALIST, CONTENT CREATOR + YOGI

Olivia F. Scott is a respected Yoga Alliance Certified Yoga (RYT-200) & Mindfulness Teacher trained in New York City. Through Freedom At The Mat (FaTM), Olivia is on a mission to transform and improve women’s lives one mat at a time. FaTM is an online and offline wellness platform to provide a sacred space for people to pause for self-care with pre-recorded affirmations, intentions, wellness interviews, meditations, and yoga flows. In addition to the Freedom At The Mat YouTube Channel, classes are offered for private groups & workplaces, virtually and in-person. 

Prior to her yogic career, the Founder of Freedom at The Mat earned a respected reputation and accomplished career working as a marketing professional and professor in Chicago & New York City for over 25 years. She also founded and leads Omerge Alliances, a boutique marketing & event curation consultancy. Yet, all the professional accomplishments were not enough. At a certain point, the titles and money mattered less and Olivia sensed that the over pre-occupation with work might have been a distraction or disguise of a lack of self-confidence along with an unwillingness to be vulnerable.

 

As a child who grew up in a family riddled with addictions, disease and the associated heartaches and abandonment that goes with such, there were unhealed places threatening her overall fulfillment. As an adult, the death of her mother & sister, one divorce, and one unsuccessful domestic partnership resulted in much pain that manifested in self-doubt, guiding her on a quest to work on self-love first. With the knowledge that poor mental and emotional health is reflected in physical health, Olivia actively pursued a path that would center and ground her, and challenge her to confront what held her back and give her time and space to focus on cultivating calm, joy, patience and an overall happy and healthy life of wellness.

 

Olivia's mission in life is to live an authentic life led by gratitude and to create and promote spaces for women (and men) to commune, find peace within, heal and manifest their best lives to achieve comprehensive wellness - mental, emotional, physical, occupational, financial and sexual. Olivia resides between New Orleans & New York City, and is a native Memphian, is an avid reader, explorer and long-distance caregiver to her Memphis-based father.
