This Iyengar Yoga Certification Mark is exclusively used by certified Iyengar Yoga teachers demonstrating their authenticity and commitment to the Iyengar method of yoga. It is a worldwide symbol signifying the highest standards of excellence in training and continuing education. All teachers at Luna Yoga are certified Iyengar Yoga teachers.
At Luna Yoga our classes are organised in six-week blocks or courses, our next block begins:
We encourage you to commit to six (or more) classes with in this specific six-week timeframe. Attending one class per week is ideal, however we understand life happens, so if you miss your usual class, you have the option to make it up at another available class time.
Our courses are designed in a progressive manner, meaning that what you learn from one week carries over to the next. This gives you the best chance to develop and enjoy your yoga practice creating coherence and depth in your understanding.
For newcomers to yoga, particularly to Iyengar Yoga, starting at the beginning of a six week block introduces you to the fundamentals. Each week, you and your fellow classmates build upon the teachings from the previous week, creating a supportive and cohesive group. This approach enhances your transformational experience.
If you are already an Iyengar Yoga practitioner, you may join at any time within a six-week block and arrange payment on a prorated basis via email with Viv info@lunayoga.com.au

Our introductory course is designed for people who are true beginners to yoga. We don’t expect you to have any particular level of fitness or flexibility. We start at the beginning to give you the best opportunity to understand and get ‘hooked on yoga’. The course is also ideal for easing yourself back into yoga if you have had a break or are new to the Iyengar Yoga method.
The course will introduce you to standing poses, twists and gentle back and forward bends, with a focus on the foundation of each pose and how this generates energy throughout the body. Each class finishes with relaxation.
The six weeks are aimed at giving you a taste of yoga and inspiring you to develop a regular yoga practice. Most students at our yoga studio in Melbourne feel the difference within the first couple of classes, commenting that they feel taller or more buoyant, their mind is clearer, or simply that they sleep well after every class.
Our courses often book out, with our Carlton North yoga studio attracting students from neighbouring Melbourne northern suburbs such as Fairfield, Northcote, Preston, Princes Hill, Fitzroy, Collingwood.

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.
Miin started yoga about 12 years ago to manage a lower back injury. Through her healing process, she came across Iyengar Yoga and started studying and later completed teacher training under Senior Iyengar Yoga teacher, Vivienne O’Brien. Miin is drawn to the methodology of the Iyengar tradition, and appreciates the challenges that motivates her practice. She continues to learn and attends retreats to deepen her personal practice. In her professional life, miin is a finance manager in the digital space.
Miin received her certification as a Level 1 teacher in 2022.
We welcome you to Luna Yoga, an Iyengar Yoga studio dedicated to sharing the art and philosophy of Iyengar Yoga. We warmly welcome people from all walks of life, giving everyone the opportunity to experience the transformative nature of this authentic method of yoga. Developed over 75 years ago by BKS Iyengar, Iyengar Yoga is based on knowledge gleamed from over 2500 years of yoga practice.
The benefits of practicing Iyengar Yoga include improved flexibility and physical health, however, it’s the unexpected benefits that keep bringing us back to the yoga mat. Our energy may feel lighter, our mind clearer, our mood a little more even, and a feeling of being at ease with ourselves. These benefits cannot be guaranteed, they cannot be packaged or measured, but are known to those who have the courage to step on the mat and be open to the possibility of change.
