Her teachings and programs are designed to support, inspire and empower women to live an authentic, healthy and happy life. Avril has an Advanced Diploma of Yoga Teaching with the Australian Yoga Academy and is completing a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutrition and Dietetics with the Endeavour College of Natural Medicine. She has studied Vedic (Shakti) Mantra Meditation under the tutelage of Devi Ananda Vdovic in Zagreb, Croatia as well as a 12 month mentorship in Himalayan Kundalini Tantric Practices. She specialises in working with women who are dissatisfied, burnt out or seeking clarity to assist in finding their purpose.. Her unique program ‘Become Y O U’ has been specifically designed to inspire women to embark on a journey of inner exploration, self-discovery, reflection and personal transformation.  Being exposed to Eastern philosophies before migrating to Australia and continuing her studies here Avril found a love for practising yoga and meditation which has inspired her current offerings. Avril loves bridging these two; ancient philosophy with modern science in her teachings and practices. Avril facilitates yoga workshops and classes across Melbourne as well as a weekly yoga class and a women’s circle for her local community. She has also designed and co-hosts a retreat in Sri Lanka for deeper healing. “My whole life is yoga, my 'sadhana' - a sacred, spiritual practice,” she says. Believing strongly in integrative and preventative medicine and in the choices and decisions we make when it comes to lifestyle, Avril believes in the saying: "your genes may load the gun, but it’s your lifestyle that pulls the trigger". She looks forward to supporting you on your path to wellness and personal transformation through her experiential teachings, extensive knowledge base and programs that incorporates mind, body and soul practices. Avril lives with her husband, two teenage daughters, their dog, Kodak and cat, Toffee. Read more
