Luciana Montoya
Yoga Therpaist and Movement Specialist
Bsc (Nursing, in progress), Dip. Health Sciences
Originally from the coast of Peru, and now based in Sydney Luciana has called Australia home for almost 15 years. With over a decade of experience in yoga, therapeutic movement, and surf coaching, she brings an evidence-informed and holistic approach to movement at The Movement Centre.
Luciana works with those recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or rebuilding their confidence in movement. Her yoga sessions integrate mindful movement, breathwork, and nervous system regulation to support mobility, balance, and overall well-being. Drawing on her background in health science and ongoing nursing studies, she complements allied health care and empowers clients to move with mindfulness and awareness.
In 2015, Luciana completed intensive training in Ashtanga Yoga and meditation in India, deepening her understanding of the connection between body and mind. She has since refined her teaching into a therapeutic, individualised practice that meets people where they are — supporting recovery, resilience, and self-connection.
Luciana sub-specialises in prenatal and postnatal yoga, helping women rebuild strength and stability through gentle, adaptive practices. As a mother herself, she bring a warm, holistic approach that supports each client as a whole person — body, mind, and nervous system throughout the changing seasons of motherhood
Outside the studio, Luciana enjoys travelling in her campervan, chasing both waves and her toddler. Time in nature continues to inspire her grounded and compassionate approach to movement.

PODIATRY | BECOME PAIN FREE & ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS
Keep moving & maintain an active lifestyle
At The Movement Centre we get a thrill out of keeping you on your feet, so that you can keep doing the things that you love. And no one is better able to keep you on your feet than our podiatrists. We have come to find that just like people, feet are ever evolving. As our lifestyles and our foot health changes over the course of our lives, so do our podiatry needs.
This is why podiatry at The Movement Centre is so dynamic. We care for families through their developmental years all the way up until the children move out of home and into the world. We see them move in and out of sports or interests, then in and out of occupations, all with different demands on their feet. The whole time our focus is movement. We help you to move the correct way, to move pain free and to move for a lifetime.
