Ollie Barre (SedonaMoves)

SedonaMoves was founded by Ollie Barre, a lifelong student and teacher of movement with over 20 years of experience in martial arts, yoga, movement therapy, and holistic wellness. Ollie began training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 12 under the legendary Rickson Gracie, later earning his Purple Belt 4th Degree. Over the years, he expanded his practice to include yoga, biodynamic movement, meditation, and self-defense, blending these disciplines into a unique, integrated approach to health and well-being. His passion for movement is rooted in a family legacy of physical culture — his great-grandparents founded Camp Hak-O-Wah in the early 1900s, one of the first American camps dedicated to reconnecting people with nature and their bodies.

Movement is Medicine, Ollie’s signature class, combines movement therapy, martial arts, yoga, and mindfulness into a flowing one-hour practice that builds functional strength, enhances mobility, and restores balance. Students move through breathwork, joint mobility, animal locomotion, yoga integration, and movement therapy drills before closing with guided meditation. This well-rounded structure not only supports physical health — improving flexibility, coordination, and posture — but also nurtures mental clarity, emotional resilience, and stress relief.

Whether you’re looking to increase strength, recover from stiffness or injury, improve body awareness, or simply find a mindful way to move, SedonaMoves offers a safe, supportive space for all levels. Ollie’s teaching style is both energizing and grounding, reflecting the rhythms and beauty of Sedona itself. Participants leave class feeling stronger, calmer, and more connected — ready to carry that sense of balance into the rest of their day.
