Even though yoga has historically been defined as both a path to eliminate suffering and also the goal itself of liberation. In practice, it regularly doesn’t fulfil this definition, but this doesn’t have to be the case. 
 
Join Ava in unpacking why we are easily captivated by charisma and guru culture and what that does to our practice.

History of Hatha Yoga

Hi, my name is Ava and I’m delighted to offer you “Functional Spirituality”, a free resource of talks, trainings and guided meditations.

I use an academic approach to invite critical thinking into energetic, mystical and heart-based practices.

Spirituality has a history of disempowering the individual and worshiping the guru or priest, without question.

In this podcast, I aim to reduce the dogma that has rendered so many schools and practices ineffective - (and strange AF) - and to elevate the conversation around spirituality.

I want to EMPOWER the meditator and yogi, to place the power back in our hands, to live directly from our own experience.

I hope you enjoy!
