“I’ve just completed my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Avana Yoga, and it has genuinely been one of the most transformative and enriching experiences of my life. The course was incredibly well structured, with a perfect balance between practice, teaching skills, anatomy, and beautifully indepth philosophy. I learned so much more than I ever anticipated not just about yoga, but about myself.
