Luciana grew up as a trained competitive dancer and holds a degree in Business Marketing from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California.

Luciana spent a lot of her time on the west coast in The School of Dance and Music where she taught various styles of dance to students aging from 18 months to 15 years old. Luciana continued studying dance, all while switching her role from student to teacher. Luciana got serious about yoga during the pandemic. Yoga has helped her find ease, balance, and adaptability through the constant changing rhythm of life. It was not long before Luciana felt that same urge in yoga that she had felt in dance; to teach others everything she has learned and benefitted from through the art of movement. Luciana completed her teacher training here at Down Under under Kate Heffernan, Michael Ponte, Braxton Rose and Tara Morris. Luciana’s class is a hot and sweaty Baptiste-based power flow. Her emphasis on flowing sun salutations allows her students to feel free, refreshed, and rejuvenated. Her class always incorporates thought out playlists, inviting her students to dance their way through class. While her class is physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging, her ultimate goal is to ensure her students feel safe, seen, and at home within their bodies.
