The Path of Being, Becoming and Belonging
Welcome.
This is an invitation to embark on a journey of being, becoming and belonging—a path towards greater awareness, connection and wholeness.
Drawing on the timeless wisdom of Yoga and the Vedic tradition, while integrating contemporary therapeutic understanding and holistic lifestyle practices, Avril offers guidance for those seeking clarity, balance and deeper spiritual grounding—both on and beyond the mat.
Yoga is offered here not simply as a physical practice, but as a lived path of self-discovery, with philosophy, meditation and practical wisdom at its heart.
I’m Avril—a yoga and Shakti Meditation teacher, counsellor and psychotherapist, clinical nutritionist, and the founder of Become YOU and The Renaissance Woman’s Circle.
Through private sessions, group classes, courses, retreats and community gatherings, I offer personalised, whole-person support for body, mind and the deeper journey of Self.
Begin where you are.
The Become YOU Philosophy
The path of Being, Becoming and Belonging is supported by four pillars: Identity, Purpose, Community and Service.
Together, these pillars guide a journey of self-discovery and invite greater alignment between body, mind and soul, and the wider environment, community and cosmos. This holistic integration fosters a deeper sense of wholeness and wellbeing, guiding us towards the recognition and expression of our authentic Self.
Being
Being always is; it never becomes.
Being is the eternal, ever-present ground of who we are—the unchanging Self beneath our thoughts, roles and experiences. Yoga invites us to recognise this deeper dimension of Self and to experience moments of stillness, presence and union with the greater whole.
Becoming
Becoming never is; it is always becoming.
Becoming is the unfolding journey of individuation, growth and self-discovery. It is the process of learning, evolving and bringing our inner understanding into the way we live. It asks us to embrace our unique path and become a more authentic expression of who we already are.
Belonging
Belonging is what we seek—and what we are invited to remember.
Belonging is connection: to ourselves, to one another, to community and to the whole of life. At its deepest level, it is the recognition of interconnectedness and oneness—the understanding expressed in Vedānta that Ātman and Brahman are one.
Through guided practices, reflective self-inquiry, contemplation and experiential learning, Become YOU seeks to cultivate inner awareness, deepen self-understanding and empower authentic living.
This is the path of Being, Becoming and Belonging.
"The priviledge of a lifetime is to Become who you truly are”
