Spanda Yoga School

At the Full Moon Cacao Womens Circle I was in total bliss, as was my sister who came along with me. The feeling of openness and softness I had were two of which I had been seeking leading up to the evening, and I definitely found them within me in that space. Lani was amazing at holding space and it is a circle I'd love to attend again. Thank you <3

In a world of yoga trends & toxic wellbeing fads geared towards likes on Instagram & looking fab in selfies.
Spanda is like an oasis, creating a community of inclusion, kindness & critical thinking. Free from hype and image you can here freely explore whilst (gently guided) the paths & truths of yoga & life through many different yoga styles, meditation & retreats.

I found the meditation course highly mentally & spiritually stimulating whilst also challenging, preparing & motivating for further exploration.

Ava is a generous, caring & curious soul with an insight & wisdom way beyond her earth years.
No matter your experience or goal, Spanda will be happy to help you reach it!
Go see for yourself!
I'll see you there.

Having attended a number of events, workshops and Meditation Teacher Training I am more than happy to recommend Spanda Yoga School.
Ava offers deep insight and authentic embodiment with an open heart in her teachings, a pleasure and privilege to attend Ava's offerings.
No doubt the reason behind such a strong sense of Sangha (community) is always felt by attendees!
Very much looking forward to future opportunities offered by Ava and the team at Spanda Yoga School.

Thank you again Ava,
'Just' for been the loving, kind, generous Guru you are!

Awesome 4 Day Silent Yoga retreat.well supported right down to the food. Treat yourself, it's so worth it.extremely nourishing.

These guys offer more than just a yoga class; it's an experience! If you want to surround yourself with positive, friendly and healthy people, this is the place to be:)

In November 2018 I participated in the 200 hour Yin and Meditation Training Retreat hosted by Spanda School, in the magical Greek Islands, what a majestic place!

We stayed in the most friendly luxurious resort and were treated like queens, all the staff went above and beyond.

The training had an amazing balance of teaching and rest time which I was extremely grateful for. I found all the knowledge being passed down to us by Ava and Danielle very profound and easy to understand and implement, I was very supported during this time of growth on many levels.

All the teachings of Yin Yoga, Meditation and Spirituality have continued to be of high value to me as I continue my journey onwards.

Always many thanks to Spanda School for hosting this event, you have a deep place in my heart foo everything you continue to help me be.

I highly recommend this school for EVERYTHING it has to offer.

I recently completed the Meditation Teacher Training at Spanda and cannot recommend it more highly to anyone wishing to undertake such training.

I had travelled to India 12 months prior seeking traditional knowledge of meditation and yoga.little did I know that such an amazing yoga school was on my doorstep in Perth! I finished the course with a thorough understanding of meditation in its traditional sense, and with a thorough understanding and confidence on how to effectively guide individuals into meditation.

I give my thanks to Ava for creating such a course & sharing her knowledge with the community. Ava is a truly amazing teacher who is genuine in heart and truthful in integrity - and Spanda Yoga School is a reflection of this.

Spanda is the most grounded and authentic yoga school I have attended in Perth and it's beautiful community of heart centred members is a testament to this. We are very blessed to have Spanda and such authentic teachings available to us.

Love, light & happiness to all.

I have been under Spanda’s thorough, diligent and expansive yoga teacher training for 9 months studying the 200 hr Hatha. If you’ve been wondering where to sign up then I highly recommend the philosophy, depth, meditation and yoga that Ava offers here at Spanda.

An extremely supportive and vibrant community anchored in the wellbeing of each student.

You are not left in the dark with all things business too, Ava is on hand to guide, encourage and advise you all the way and beyond. 5 stars all the way

There is a lovely children's mindfulness/yoga class for kids held here. The teachers are warm and friendly, and the yoga sessions very relaxing and cultivating of presence.

Amazing Yin yoga class.love the choices between the hatha and yin yoga classes along with meditation. Highly recommended

I attended a seven-day silent meditation retreat in coastal WA bushland led by the beautiful Ava. It was incredibly humbling and healing, and I experienced a lightness of being I cannot explain.

The list of what I couldn’t do was long (no talking, no reading, no phone, no music, no eye contact - to name a few). Only writing was allowed (a saviour).

My intention for going off the grid was to ‘unravel’ but the real unravelling has begun since coming home. A lot of people ask me if I was bored or challenged or scared. Yes, yes, and yes. But I have never felt such a profound sense of stillness in nature and spaciousness in my heart. Also, I cannot convey the comfort of knowing that you will always have you, no matter what.

When we broke silence the first thing we all spoke about was FOOD! Arooza (Ava's mum) cooked the most nourishing and delicious Indian Iranian vegetarian food imaginable which fed our soul. We also experienced a cocoa ceremony which was a special treat.

These words came to me when I was driving home in silence: “Just because you don’t have something now, doesn’t mean you never will. Trust your hunger. ” I learnt that emptiness can be a full place, and the opportunity to go inward was life-changing. Highly highly recommend anything Spanda Yoga School does, just go!

I loved the seven day meditation and yoga retreat in September 2017 so much, I brought my husband with me for the four day retreat over New Years 2017/18.
Afterwards, we talked and talked about our exciting self-discoveries, both physical and mental.
Thank you, Ava and Arooza, for helping me bring some peace into my heart.

If you are seeking a yoga or meditation studio in Fremantle then you can't go past Spanda School. The teachers' are some of the best in WA, the studio is beautiful and every class is crafted so that you get the ultimate experience and opportunity to go within yourself. I can't recommend Ava and her team more.

I've been attending Cate's 'Gentle Yoga' classes as often as I can on Mondays and Fridays for four months now - they are AWESOME. I am thrilled to have found this school and intstructor. Thank you so much Cate, for the care you put into designing every class, the time you take to explain the theory behind what we're doing, and for your creative use of props to make the experience achievable for any level of fitness or body type. Attending these classes is a highlight of my week. Thank you! Xo

I recently completed the 4 day NYE meditation retreat at Spanda and cannot recommend it more highly to anyone wishing to create or expand on their practice. I feel so much calmer and more centred, and being a NYE retreat it has set a great tone for the year ahead. Thank you so much to Ava and Arooza for taking me on such a beautiful journey deeper into my true self. My perspective has shifted for the better and I look forward to embracing the challenges and opportunities this new year will bring. Ava is such a beautiful calming influence and explains everything with such depth and clarity. Thank you again Spanda school.

Angel Walk was a beautiful experience that touched my heart deeply. Much gratitude to the incredible community at Spanda and the divine guidance of Ava

Ava is a shining beacon of love and light. The 4 day silent retreat she ran in Margaret River was so nourishing and heart expanding. The way Ava guides you through the retreat is imbued with love and passion for what she is teaching and she shares her wisdom in a way that is accessible for all. More than 5 stars!

I love Spanda. After years of learning yoga and meditation it was this school that has brought it all together for me and taken my learning to whole new levels. A welcoming place with accessible teaching that is filled with loving presence.

Passionate and beautifully expressed teachers. All the classes held are a heartwarming experience complimented by a safe, sacred space. Prompt response rate to any queries.
Wide variety of content on all social medias to keep you up to date on what's happening at Spanda so you never miss your classes!
Highly recommend all the classes and events!

I love Ava's energy and how she teaches yoga in body, mind and spirit. Such a gem of a studio for anyone who is curious to learn about yoga on not only physical level, but also on spiritual level. Much gratitude for sharing your love and light xx
