About | Vivre Yoga

Hi, I’m Vivian

Yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, space holder — and forever student

of the human experience.

My path here was never linear.

For years, I ran — from pain, from truth, from myself.

After losing my mother as a young teen, I carried my grief quietly,

hidden beneath strength and survival.
I wore resilience like armour, not realising that true healing

asks for softness, not stoicism.

A decade later, life invited me to sit with what I had buried —
to meet myself beneath the surface.

Working as a radiographer in Australia through the COVID pandemic

brought new lessons in boundaries, burnout,

and the fragility of the human spirit.

I watched countless bodies — including my own, move through

exhaustion and disconnection.

Then, I found yoga.

At first, it was an escape.
But slowly, it became a return.

What began as movement and breath became remembrance —

of joy, of stillness, of home.

It taught me to stay with discomfort, to breathe through what aches,

and to reclaim the pieces of myself I had forgotten.

My journey has taken me across the world — from my 200-hour

foundational training and Reiki Level 1 in Australia,

to a 300-hour YTT in the Galápagos Islands.

Now based in Vancouver, BC, I hold space for others on their own

path of remembrance —
through movement, mindfulness, and heart-led community.

Recently, I co-created Reset with Intraset —

a multi-sensory experience weaving sound healing,

intuitive movement, breathwork, meditation, and music.

These gatherings offer a gentle reset for the nervous system —

an invitation to reconnect with the body and awaken the

inner landscape.

Yoga, for me, is joy.

Discovering it. Embodying it. Sharing it.

The joy of remembering who I am.
The joy of feeling so alive.

Joie de vivre — the joy of life.
