THE MATS & JOURNAL

“I absolutely LOVE the yoga mat. It’s in my favorite color and the extra cushion makes it so much easier to hold my poses! The guided journal provokes thoughts and ideas I hadn’t considered and gives me the structure AND inspiration to keep me going!” 

Rebecca W., Sausalito, CA

“I love it so much. I refuse to use it for any workouts that require shoes because it’s so pretty. So now I need to order another one!

Desiree E. New York, NY

“I absolutely love my mat; it’s very sturdy, comfortable, and easy to clean. I always receive compliments when using away from home.”

Dee-Dee P, Atlanta, GA

“As a working busy momager, I found the prompts in The Freedom Journal to help me think and deliver a message to myself in a short period of time. I like the physical size of the journal as it fits in my purse and it’s relatively light weight. Thank you for developing an inspiring product!”

Kimberly B.M., Dallas, TX

“My “Freedom” mat is so well cushioned and the grip is great. As I continue on my journey to a tighter core, I sometimes lose balance with certain poses. However, THIS is the most security and comfort I’ve felt from a yoga mat. The gorgeous design and non-profit benefits are a big plus!”

Daphne D., Los Angeles, CA

“I love the journal because it allows me to freely think on a particular realm. Anne Murray said he talks to me, walks with me & tells me I am his own. That’s powerful it encourages you to think beyond the surface after deep meditation which is inspiring to me.”

Jasmine S.,  Memphis, TN

The mat is wonderful! I’m happy that it provides cushion and support for my knees and hips, which are the reasons I have practiced yoga. It’s also good just for stretching before and after a workout. Very versatile!

Nokie W., Memphis, TN

I love my bright and colorful mat! It is comforting, sturdy and stylish.

this yoga experience is like no other. olivia is welcoming and her spirit is full of light.  she encourages gracefully and provides a safe space to be who you are.  i loved how the music and the postures were complementary to the theme of each class. most of all, the connections i made with the other women in the class were priceless.  olivia has taken a very individual practice like yoga and has re-created it in such a beautiful way so as to feel a deeper sense of connection to yourself and one another. i highly recommend freedom at the mat, with olivia f. scott.  you will sweat, laugh and love how you feel inside and out.

THE CLASSES

“After lots of internal changes and an unprecedented year, we booked a session with Freedom At The Mat. Olivia customized a corporate mindfulness session for our staff which was very impactful for all team members, including breathing, writing and showing gratitude for our team members. We found that staff members were grateful and more at ease after this session, which we hope has long lasting effects.”

Candace Montgomery, Vice President, Experiential Marketing, ESSENCE, NYC

“This year challenged me mentally, physically and emotionally, as my company was forced to go to complete remote operations in March ’20. Working at an investment banking firm during the stress of a pandemic, volatile market, computer glitches, frazzled customers & frustrated coworkers propelled me to look for mental rejuvenation. I booked a FATM session to escape from anxiety, and found an avenue to total wellness. The mindfulness sessions were crafted specifically to release stress, calm anxiety, and tap into inner peace. This was such a dynamic mental & emotional experience but it didn’t stop there. Olivia guided us through breathing exercises, journaling, and yoga that physically strengthened the body providing a holistic balm to combat stress, anxiety, fatigue, weight gain, loneliness, cabin fever, and many other ailments brought on during this pandemic.

i started attending “freedom at the mat” during the spring session of 2018. the first time i registered, i was home with the flu, but i decided to go anyway because it was so close to my house. i’m so glad i did. halfway through the class, i noticed a change. my nose cleared up, my headache went away, and my body aches subsided. i was amazed. i also felt mental clarity. the sister circle was healing. i’m not a person that prays, but the prayer felt organic and comforting; not forced. olivia’s classes give you a mind and body experience and i recommend it to anyone; novice or veteran.
