Ava Desjardins

At the age of 18, Ava stumbled upon yoga and meditation in the living room of a new friend. After a month and a half of almost daily private sessions, she was able to establish a dedicated personal practice that, after six years, has evolved into deep spiritual devotion, three transformative trips to India, a certification in Ayurvedic counseling, and a 200-hour yoga teacher training with Yogaspirit Studios. 

The study and practice of yoga over the years has deeply informed Ava’s lifestyle and career path to be of a most holistic, health-centered, and balanced nature. Her passions for health, longevity, and physical/mental fortitude have earned her a BS degree in Behavioral Neuroscience from Northeastern University with summa cum laude honors, an Ayurvedic Health Counselor certification from Boston Ayurveda School, and, finally, a 200-hour yoga teacher certification from Yoga Moves in Stoneham, MA through Yogaspirit Studios. Presently, Ava serves as the Administrator for a series of yoga and Ayurveda businesses under KV Enterprises. 

As someone who was, from the start, floored by the depth and breadth of the spiritual sciences of the East, Ava is moved to light that spark in others who seek meaning and fulfillment. A true student of Ayurveda, she approaches every aspirant as a unique individual who requires customized instruction according to his constitution and past experiences. Overall, Ava’s instruction seeks to integrate mind, body, and soul, and awaken in all the innate power to heal that all of us possess.
