Anandi - Audrey Fiorini
Founder Yoga School Bretagne & Vidya Tirtham Vedic Center

Audrey Fiorini is the Founder and Creator of La Yoga School Bretagne and Sagara Vidya Center. She offers you today 25 years of experience, study and teachings, through the transmission of the tools of Knowledge, Jnanam, well-being and Realization through Vedanta & Sama Yoga (Sama: the center in Sanskrit).

At the age of 20 (two months after obtaining her State Certificate of Sports Educator), she decided to live her childhood dream: to go to India, to the land where Rudyard Kipling gave birth to his first mentor: Moogli! Under the benevolent yet worried eye of her parents, she flies to India and arrives on her birthday.

She discovers that it is the day of Diwali, the greatest festival of lights, on the occasion of which one offers gifts to oneself and shoots fireworks in the whole country! It is in this vast country of magic, that she will spend two years with masters like Svami Vivekananda Sarasvati (School of Kundalini Yoga-Rishikesh), Sri Rudra (Student of BKS Iyengar) in Haridwar on the banks of the Ganges, Sri Mataji Pratibha Joshi, from whom she will receive his invaluable teachings and initiations

Upon her return, she resumed her studies in France, becoming a Naturopath Heilpraktiker (HPG) with a specialization in Psychonomy (parallel branch of Micro-Kinesitherapy). She is certified in Japanese medicine, Jin Shin Jyutsu, and practices in her office for 8 years, in parallel with the yoga teachings that she gives within the association Yog'Harmonie Santé. She will follow Mothers and Babies in pre and post natal Yoga at the Clinique du Ter (Ploemeur) for 8 years, and develops a flourishing activity. Shamanic encounters punctuate and enlighten her path, with Bob Seven Crow and Smilling Bear Heart. The medium channel of vision is open and she shares it during the Divandha Practitioner Training.

Her two children were 4 and 10 years old when the Nile River called her to Asia. This flight takes the whole family, this time to Indonesia where they encounter the Vedic teachings of Swami Vagisananda Sarasvati. The heartfelt encounter with Sky Akasha Tobbias takes her to Sama Yoga, a line of fluidity and grace that inspires the richness and depth of the Yoga School's teachings.

She was introduced to Shree Radhaji, Dr. Carol Whitfield Ph.D. who became one of her mentors. She guided her in psychology, and in child inner work and meditation.

With the blessing of her teachers, she has the privilege and honor to live and study at Shree Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati's ashram for a few months, as well as at Arsha Vidya Gurukulam in Anaikatti, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India , in 2017.

Today, Anandi shares Jnanam, the knowledge of the Self through teachings, rituals in the Sacred Feminine, Yoga, Vedic chants, annual Vedanta retreats, with deep love and devotion. These are real concrete keys to a lasting blossoming, perhaps even a small revolution, that of revealing your true nature of Peace and Joy: Ananda.

"You are 100% responsible for learning the Principles of Happiness, Ananda and doing whatever needs to be done to apply them, affirming them with perseverance to manifest the highest part of your Being, the bright voice of Life." Audrey, Anandi.

His life is the fruit of his firm and luminous yogic commitments and choices, synonymous with freedom, love and contribution.

His Passion, his Soul Project, his gentleness and his dedication shine through in all his offerings. Her presence and words are mind opening, gentle and exquisite as in the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. She teaches in a way that makes the most complex things easy to understand, her heart present in every word. She unfolds Jnanam, the knowledge of the Self in the Teacher Training so that it truly integrates into the body and mind and brings Wisdom to your Heart.

Sama Yoga & Vedanta is offered to you! It is born from gratitude and good health values.

Swami Vagishananda Saraswati

Śrī Svāmī Vāgīśānanda Sarasvatī is a senior disciple of Pūjya Śrī Svāmī Dayānanda Sarasvatī, and has been studying and teaching Vedānta since 1975.

Svāmī jī was a teenager when he became fascinated with mystical poetry and non-dualistic philosophies. So in 1975, at the age of 19, he left his home in the United States and went to India to study at a traditional Gurūkulam. After graduating from his first three-year residential course in Vedānta and Sanskrit, he took four three-year courses in the United States and India.

Swami Dayananda Saraswati

Pūjya Śrī Svāmī Dayānanda Sarasvatī (1930 - 2015) is considered the leading figure in the renaissance of Advaita Vedānta study in the late 20th century. "Teacher of teachers," Pūjya Svāmī jī took up the dikṣa saṁnyāsa in 1962 under the guidance of Svāmī Cinmayānanda Sarasvatī.

Pūjya Svāmī jī studied the complete traditional teaching methodology of his sadguru, Svāmī Praṇavānanda. He then refined his teaching skills by studying the Brahma Sūtras with Pūjya Svāmī Tārānanda Giri of Kailash Ashrama in Rishikesh.
