About the tutor

Vivienne Duvall

Hi - I am Vivienne!I have worked for the North Sydney Community Centre since 2014 and I love being part of this growing community! I enjoyed Ballet from a young age and continued into jazz ballet and moved into teaching fitness classes from a young age. I started the Pilates and Reformer journey in my twenties and I still believe in lengthening and strengthening the body in a flow of movement. After practising Yoga for many years, I decided to start yoga training in which I incorporates the concept of expanding and giving the body mobility but more of the mind in a dance of flow. Finding a quiet place for my thoughts practicing Yin yoga. I like to create a safe and caring place where participants can explore their journey.I like to inspire others so students can be proud of what they can accomplish in the class. I have a Diploma in Sports & Remedial Therapies!
