She is the Lead Trainer of her Registered Yoga School, the Caribe Yoga Academy and leads yearly Reiki Level I & II courses in Caribbean Costa Rica at AmaSer. Avani lives in a sweet spot where the jungle meets the sea where she runs a community yoga studio plus retreat and training center. Since her arrival to the South Caribbean in 2007 she has seen endless doors of opportunity open enabling her to experience more learning, compassion, service, gratitude, sun and smiles than she had imagined possible. She has completed a variety of yoga teacher trainings since she first started her training journey in 2006. Avani enjoys sharing graceful and creative flows, balance and a sense of humor in her group classes. Her sequencing is reflective of her studies in a range of paths: Ayurveda, Functional Anatomy, Hatha, Vinyasa, Acro, Yin, Prana Vinyasa and Anusara. Avani loves incorporating intention and energy-work into her yoga classes and in this way can offer a fun and unifying experience. She lists being able to share the practices of light work, breathwork, ayurveda and yoga as her greatest honors and privileges. She considers Indira Kalmbach, Ashley Ludman, Jo Phee, Seane Corn, Stephen Cope, Shiva Rea, Coral Brown, Jillian Pransky, Yoganand Michael Carroll and Lama Tsultrim Allione to be amongst her many teachers and influencers.  

Avani is an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) at the 200 HR level as well as a 500 E-RYT with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with an approved and active Registered Yoga School (RYS) and accumulated hours of teaching experience.
