Head Intructor Vivienne O'Brien

Vivienne is the founder and director of the Luna Yoga studio. She was introduced to yoga in 1990 on a small island in Thailand. After a week of early morning classes, she intuitively knew that yoga would become a large part of her life. On returning home, she discovered the Iyengar Yoga method. It offered her a complete yoga practice with vast challenges.

Rachel’s love of yoga started in Christchurch, New Zealand and followed her to London and then Melbourne. As a research scientist, she was attracted to the “science” of Iyengar Yoga. Initially, the yoga asanas (poses) didn’t come naturally, but when she started teacher training in 2004 she utilised the techniques that Mr Iyengar has given us (props, sequencing and timings) to experiment with her body.

Nicole’s childhood was filled with yoga and ballet. In her early adult life, she was a professional costume maker and dancer before settling into the fashion industry. Her love for yoga was ignited in 1990 when she found Iyengar Yoga, which she deeply values for its clarity and direction and the way it continues to open new doors for learning.

Andrea had been practising yoga for many years when she discovered Iyengar Yoga in 2010. She was immediately inspired by its approach to learning which emphasises alignment and experimentation. The Iyengar method gave her the tools to develop her yoga practice in preparation for an intense two-year teacher training program with senior Iyengar Yoga teacher Vivienne O’Brien.

Michaella discovered Iyengar yoga nearly 20 years ago and was immediately drawn to the thoughtful practice with its combined evidence and spiritual basis. Michaella has a bendy body and found other yoga practices often ended in injury, where the Iyengar method taught her how to manage flexibility and still deepen her practice. Michaella completed her yoga teacher training with Vivienne O’Brien a senior Iyengar Yoga teacher, in 2021 and was accredited as an Iyengar yoga teacher in October 2023. In her other life, Michaella runs a digital health startup and a consulting firm.

In her professional life, miin is a finance manager in the digital space.
