Hi, my name is Ava and I’m delighted to offer you “Functional Spirituality”. I invite you to integrate critical thinking into your heart, mystical and faith-based practices. I use an academic approach to investigate the roots of yoga and spirituality. I aim to reduce the dogma that has rendered so many schools and practices ineffective - and strange AF. Spirituality has a history of disempowering the individual, worshiping the guru or priest, without question. In this podcast, I aim to elevate the conversation around spirituality. I want to EMPOWER the meditator and yogi, and debunk the idea that the ‘ancient gurus’ had it all right. This places the power back in our hands, to live directly from our own experience. I hope you enjoy this collection of guided meditations, retreat talks and conversations.

Customer Reviews
Inspired and soothing
Ava is such a brilliant and wise woman. I am loving her guided meditations- the sound healing is blissful. Her voice is so incredibly soothing- she could literally talk about anything and I would still feel totally relaxed. This is a brilliant resource, thank you!
So excited by this offering and conversations
The sense and wisdom that Ava offers in just the introduction is well worth repeated listening. To be supported to reflect on, not just what we choose to practice, but also how they directly inform our living practice, of the mat, from such a wise heart, is a gift and one I plan to continue tuning into. Thank-you Ava.
