Profile

Avani School of Yoga is set in beautiful Northumbrian countryside a few miles north of Corbridge / Hexham. Our resident yoga teacher and therapist, Gilly Thirlwell, has a client-centred, therapeutic approach to teaching hatha yoga, which is enhanced by over twenty years of personal yoga and meditation practice. Gilly did her initial teacher training in 1996 at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashram in India. She followed this up with time in other Indian yoga ashrams, then a year in Thailand, where she studied Buddhism and meditation, whilst working as a meditation retreat coordinator and yoga teacher at Suan Mokkh Buddhist Monastery. Gilly was awarded FRYOG\'s two-year yoga teaching diploma in 2003 and recently completed a two-year post graduate course in Yoga Therapy with Real Yoga in Herefordshire. Gilly has also studied anatomy and physiology, aromatherapy, health psychology, occupational therapy, counselling and nature therapy.
