from The Centre for Healing Podcast · host Ryan Hassan and Melissa Hiemann

Ava is the director of Functional Spirituality and the popular yoga and meditation centre Spanda School in Fremantle, W.A. She is a philosopher with a degree from the University of Sydney, retreat leader, business owner and somatic therapist. Her deepest passions are non-dual philosophy, community healing and looking at the impacts of spirituality. Her business has been offering meditation training and silent retreat to thousands of students over the past 10+ years. Ava's path started with a fervor for awakening and non-duality. However over the years her path has matured with a more functional approach. Her work now considers the wide-spread complex trauma that lies at the heart of almost every obstacle to happy, healthy and connected living, and marries profound mystical approaches with nervous system regulation.She has trained with Paul Muller-Ortega (Blue throat yoga), NARM (complex trauma), Cecily Milne (yoga detour), the Centre for Healing to name a few. Ava is predominantly known for her thriving yoga studio, silent retreats in nature and the phenomenal teachers that emerge from her yoga and trauma-informed certifications. She lives in beautiful, rural Western Australia with her family and animals. She has recently teamed up with The Centre for Healing to offer courses and an Instructor Training on Trauma-Informed Meditation.   TI Meditation Instructor Training:https://www.thecentreforhealing.com/ti-meditation-instructor  Meditation Instructor Training Webinar:https://www.thecentreforhealing.com/mit-pre-training-registration  Short Course - Foundations of TI Meditation:https://www.thecentreforhealing.com/trauma-informed-meditation-foundations  Free 7 Day Meditation Challenge:https://www.thecentreforhealing.com/offers/92J8TtBk/checkout
