Functional Spirituality

By: Ava Irani
  • Summary

  • 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! For Q&A questions, topic suggestions email Ava at functionalspiritualityretreat@gmail.com Visit www.functionalspirituality.com Follow us @FunctionalSpirituality or @avairani_ and our Yoga Studio at @spandaschool

    Jan 19 2025

    Take a moment to journey inward and explore the vast, ever-changing landscape within. This guided meditation with Kate uses breath awareness and invites curiosity and relaxation into your system, allowing tension to melt away.

    As you breathe, allow your attention to settle on the stillness that exists between each inhale and exhale—a quiet, sacred pause where peace resides.
