Honoring Our Bones
SUNDAY November 1, 2026
4-6:15pm
at RADIATE Yoga Studio, Sebastopol, CA


Honoring our bones and the architecture of our body through a hatha yoga practice focused on structural stability, foundational alignment within our most common asanas, and an extended, supported, and deeply restorative savasana.

Seasons shift, cycles circle round, and all things end in order to continue. Join Ava on Sunday, November 1, el día de los muertos, at beautiful Radiate Studio in Sebastopol, California for an intimate, extended yoga practice with lots of personalized attention and hands-on adjustments. On this special day, we acknowledge the thinning of the veil - between seasons of Nature, seasons of the Soul, the material world, and the spirit world. Inspired in part by the ‘calaveras’ - sugar skulls and satirical skeletons - of the Mexican holiday tradition, we’ll focus on our bones, our structure, our foundational technique within the asana practice. We’ll explore how to build postures from the ground up and from the inside out. We’ll celebrate our life force with a vigorous vinyasa flow, using that heat to burn away what’s stuck and no longer of service. Then we rest our bones through a supported and extended savasana. The final pose of the practice is too often skipped or shortened. Here we will savor deep rest and restoration - for the pose of death can help us come fully to life. Come flow into stillness.

“I don’t know exactly what a prayer is.

I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down

into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,

how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,

which is what I have been doing all day.”

- Mary Oliver
