Ava Irani

Ava is the main teacher and founder of Spanda School. Predominantly she offers yoga classes, training courses, and meditation retreats. She is skilled in a wide range of offerings, having dedicated herself wholly to awakening, service and the pursuit of knowledge. After doing her first training in 2011, Ava has had the dream of bringing esoteric Yoga and meditation to Perth. Her path of service began giving classes in Mandurah and various studios in the South-West, as well as teaching at the Agama Headquarters in Thailand, Rishikesh, Singapore and the Hridaya School in Mexico. It is Ava’s greatest joy to guide others and herself along the path of Spiritual transformation, aligning with life’s purpose and connecting to the Spanda or the innate enthusiasm of our hearts. Besides the meditation, her greatest growths have come from living in Hridaya community itself, Hatha Yoga and conscious relationships. Ava has studied Philosophy at the University of Sydney as well as UWA and Murdoch. Considered as an academic with a thirst for spiritual knowledge, she has an innate gift for teaching and a generous attitude that touches each of her students in a loving way.
