200hr Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training

Transform your meditation and movement practice

Too often, yoga classes give cool effects, but no real results. 

It can take years before we realise we are going in circles. 

We wonder, “is it possible for yoga to take us into deep meditation, heal our nervous system, bring fitness in the body and transform our mind?"

Functional Flow is born out of this inquiry. Not only is it possible, it is natural and simple, easy to learn and share. Designed to be relevant and meaningful, you can rest in confidence that a functional approach actually changes the way our body, mind and emotions function.

Luckily, there is a way to get all the meaningful transformation we most desire and need.

A functional approach will completely set you apart as a yoga teacher, and bring a deep, embodied wisdom to your own practice.

The Functional Flow Teacher Training 2021 offers you

  • A map for mastering mind, emotions, spirituality and evolution that is functional

  • A yoga practice that is actually therapeutic, not purely aesthetic

  • A meditation practice that is inspiring, interesting and effortless

  • A massive upgrade in your own intelligence, clarity and evolution

  • A clear map of how to teach movement and meditation

  • Comprehensive understanding of what yoga is, its history and its pitfalls

  • Connection to your alignment and uniqueness

  • Business and leadership development and mentoring

  • Anatomy for functional movement & Nervous system regulation

What is Functional Flow?


Functional strength and functional spirituality principles woven into a trauma-informed group practice.

Moving meditation can open up profound insights and healing. 

Functional Flow teaches us how to love moving.

If we are going to spend our precious time in a yoga class, we want to experience fitness, release, joy, healing and awareness of our infinite nature.

This unique style that blends enquiry into our infinite nature with functional, strength building and therapeutic movements of the body.

Whether you are brand new to yoga or a seasoned teacher, we guarantee that the foundations of this style will change everything for you.

Ava Irani, Your Teacher

Founder of Spanda School & Functional Spirituality

Hi, I’m Ava. I’m delighted to offer the Functional Flow Teacher Training as a synthesis of my life’s work as a yoga and meditation teacher. Over the past 12 years, I’ve been exploring, both, the depths and the surface of spiritual practice. I spent 6 years living in yoga communities, renouncing normal life and practicing rigorously. Since moving back to Australia, I have been more interested in how to integrate deep spiritual practice into daily life, and how to optimise and clarify personal purpose and expression.

I’ve completed 2000+ hours of yoga training and my personal practice is well over 10,000 hours. With 5000+ hours of yoga and meditation teaching under my belt, I’ve delivered multiple yoga teacher trainings through my studio, Spanda School, in Australia and abroad. I’m sharing this because I have spent over a decade navigating the enormous number of pitfalls that lie on the yoga and spirituality path.

I’m thrilled to report that it gets easier to practice stillness when you simplify and refine your approach. If you’re interested in an approach that priorities meaningful results, and creates a connection with your students for life, then I would be delighted to guide you on your next steps of yoga and meditation training.
