Avril Bastiansz is a Melbourne-based yoga and Vedic meditation teacher, counsellor, psychotherapist, and clinical nutritionist. She is the founder of Become YOU and The Renaissance Woman’s Circle. With over a decade of experience, Avril weaves together yoga philosophy, Vedic meditation, and modern clinical approaches to psychological wellbeing, creating spaces of both healing and transformation.

Her current focus is on the intersection between yogic wisdom and the scientific understanding of mental health- exploring how practices such as meditation, pranayama, and embodied self-inquiry can support those navigating anxiety, depression, and the pressures of contemporary life.

Avril is committed to restoring depth and readiness in the learning process, respecting traditional lineage (sampradāya) and preserving integrity in how yoga and Vedānta are taught today. She teaches not only yoga as therapy, but as a complete path toward freedom and Self-realization.
