Luciana Montoya
Ekapada Sirsasana
Yoga Instructor | Sydney
Specialising in Postpartum, Rehabilitation & Accessible Yoga
Welcome — I'm Luciana Montoya, a dedicated yoga practitioner based in Sydney, offering private yoga tuition tailored to your needs, your body, and your stage of life.
What sets my teaching apart is a strong foundation in health science, developed through years of studies in health and Yoga therapist experience in different health clinics. Yoga forms a vital part of rehabilitation programs, helping clients restore movement, build strength, and return to wellness with confidence and care.
With a background in nursing studies and as a mother myself, I have a deep passion for women’s health, especially during the postpartum period. I specialise in postnatal yoga, gently guiding mothers as they reconnect with their bodies and embrace this transformative time.
I also offer yoga for seniors, having led gentle movement classes in aged care facilities, where the focus is on accessibility, balance, and maintaining quality of life through breath and movement.
In 2021, I began my journey into motherhood, I completed a Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training with Bhakti Rose. She now sub-specialises in prenatal and postnatal yoga, supporting women through strength, stability, and nervous system awareness throughout the changing seasons of motherhood. As a mother herself, she brings a warm, compassionate, and holistic approach.
My Yoga Lineage & Practice
I am committed to the traditional practices of Iyengar and Ashtanga Yoga, maintaining a 6-day Mysore-style self-practice. I have studied under Saraswathi Jois at Ashtanga Centre KPJAYI in India, and attended advanced workshops with respected teachers including Kino MacGregor, Mark Robberds, and Deepika Mehta and continue to practice under guidance of Yoga master Eileen Hall. My personal practice is rooted in discipline, curiosity, and respect for the lineage of yoga.
My Approach
Whether you're returning to movement after injury, welcoming a new baby, or simply looking to deepen your personal yoga journey, my classes are inclusive and tailored to you.
“If you can breathe, you can practice yoga.”
This is the heart of my philosophy. I meet you where you are — physically, emotionally, and energetically — and support you to move forward with kindness and courage. My sessions blend mindfulness, alignment, breathwork, and strength-building, offering both gentle encouragement and challenge.
