The Program

Level 2 - Ayurvedic Health Counselor

The Divine Feminine has called.

She wants you, your friends, family and communities to return to the simplest, but most powerful, ways of caring for themselves.

In Level 1 you learned about the HER rhythms, the cycles of nature, how to use food, and the elements to become the version of you that shines the brightest. Together we did deep work, unearthing what is hidden beneath the layers formed by our daily interactions and behaviors. You’re starting to hear the whispers underneath all the noise.

You’ve also learned how to take this wisdom into your community. To educate in the ways of diet and lifestyle that have the potential to drastically change the trajectory of a person’s life.

In Level 2 we continue our study of ancient methods for understanding pathology, how disease develops, deeper protocols for health and self-care, and the physical diagnostic tools, theory and philosophy for health coaching and case management.

​Prerequisites: Successful completion of the Level 1 Ayurvedic Wellness Coach program

The Shakti School will certify graduates in Divine Feminine Ayurveda that complete all educational requirements of our Levels 1 & 2 programs (600-hours total) as Shakti School Ayurvedic Health Counselors, offering you a listing on our directory of certified practitioners.

This ancient science is vast, and we go further still.

Level 2 is an opportunity to learn about the pathology. How dis-ease moves through the layers of the body – subtle to gross. We’ll further explore the ways in which we can read the messages being shared to deeply support each unique individual in finding balance.

You’ll learn additional tools for growth and health to guide yourself and others into more spaciousness for becoming. Together we’ll hone your intuition and provide structure for the potential of this knowledge to flourish through you.

This 300-hour program is perfect for the seeker looking to work 1-on-1 more deeply, and become a conduit for more radical change to take place.

  • The pathways of dis-ease, how disease develops
  • Introduction to diagnostic tools, including pulse, tongue and eyes

Scope of Practice - Level 2

Graduates who are issued a certificate for the Ayurvedic Health Counselor program may use the information provided in this course for personal development and/or to guide individuals and groups through educational seminars and one-on-one sessions on the principles and practices of the Ayurvedic way of life and healing. This scope of practice emphasizes education on prevention of imbalances, addressing imbalances and on regaining wellness on all levels of being, using the life-enhancing modalities and philosophy of Ayurveda, Tantra and Feminine Form Medicine. Approaches include nutrition, lifestyle, meditation, psychospiritual approaches, health promoting herbal education, goal-setting (sankalpa/dharma work), and designing preventive and complementary health routines according to holistic principles.

Assessment tools are used to determine the Vikriti (imbalances) of an individual’s body/mind; they work to realign unbalanced states of the doshas, ama, agni, dhatus, and malas. Those who have obtained this certificate do not diagnose or treat diseases.

  • Meet with people one-on-one in the capacity of an Ayurvedic Health Counselor (with proof of proper insurance)
  • Lead Ayurveda workshops in your yoga studio and community centers​
  • Provide education around nutrition, daily routine, seasonal cleansing and rejuvenation, digestive health, meditation, and women’s womb wellness
  • Add Ayurvedic wisdom to your current yoga classes, bodywork practice or other healing modalities
  • Be a part of a supportive community of colleagues
  • Ownership of the beautiful Level 2 manual and "protocol" forms + handouts for easily creating a private practice
  • Be an official Shakti School practitioner, including use of brand and logo + membership in an exclusive club of published practitioners

How to tell if you’re a Pitta type: you’re cur How to tell if you’re a Pitta type: you’re currently masterminding your entire next year… and knowing you, you’ll probably accomplish it all in the next six months. 💪🏼🔥

There’s something about this spring equinox energy that wakes up the inner Martha Stewart with her color-coded graph paper and 12-step strategy. 📊

Pittas: we love your drive, but remember to leave a little room for spontaneity and softness, too. 😉

✨ Calling all Level 1 Shakti School grads—if you’re feeling the call to channel your spring energy into the next chapter of your soul’s evolution, Level 2 at The Shakti School begins in just a few weeks and we would love to have you. 

🌹 Comment LEVEL2 (one word) to connect with our team.
In this Level 2 class, core faculty teacher Sandhi In this Level 2 class, core faculty teacher Sandhiya Ramaswamy brings Ayurveda to life with a live demonstration of how healing can start right in your kitchen. 🫚 From crafting herbal spice blends to preparing face packs, this is where food becomes medicine.

Inside this class, Level 2 students learn:

🌿 How to cook with spices as medicine, understanding their energetic qualities on the deepest level

🌿 How to create herbal preparations like digestive blends, teas and functional spice mixes

🌿 How to customize remedies for doshas, seasons and individual constitution

🌿 How to use everyday kitchen ingredients for holistic skincare and external therapies

🌿 How to approach Ayurveda in a way that’s intuitive, adaptable and rooted in real life (not perfection - aka the core Shakti School ethos 😉)

This is just one piece of our rich Level 2 curriculum where you’ll deepen into herbalism, build a home apothecary, understand the why behind imbalance (samprapti) and learn to craft truly personalized Ayurvedic protocols for yourself and others.

If you’re ready to move from learning Ayurveda to living it… Level 2 is where that transformation happens. We begin in less than THREE weeks. ✨

📢 Level 2 Alumni: what was your favorite part of this class with Sandhiya or favorite herbal preparation you learned in year 2? Drop it below to share the inspo! 👇🏼🫚✨
Kapha on a life-giving, life-affirming level is st Kapha on a life-giving, life-affirming level is stability. It’s endurance and resiliency, the structure that makes us feel safe and held. But this time of year, that same energy can start to feel heavy, slow and a little stuck, which is why we want to gently bring in light, movement and awareness. ⁠
⁠
Here are three unconventional ways that you can work with kapha-balancing this season that I personally love. 👇🏼⁠
⁠
☀️ Get that morning sunlight or try red light therapy. I have found red light therapy to be one of the best pieces of technology for helping to wake up your system, support mood, and regulate hormonal rhythms (all important for kapha this time of year). ⁠
⁠
🌊 Instead of pushing through or staying busy, take a moment to slow down and feel what’s actually there. Underneath the rushing activity of our lives, there is often grief, and letting yourself feel it can open the heart to create real healing. In Ayurveda, this can help us begin to clear the channels of the body (and subtle body) - by bringing the light of our attention into the heaviness, into what’s been unseen.⁠
⁠
🥬 Finally, this is the time of year to lean into fresh, light, and yes, raw seasonal foods. Dark leafy greens, herbs and raw veggies help move stagnation and sluggishness. Just add some oil, spices, salt and vinegar to reduce the vata. I sometimes add cinnamon!  Yep! ⁠
⁠
Ready to dive even deeper?⁠
⁠
💦 Comment RELEASE for my podcast episode Ep. 176 Kapha Mama! How to Release the Heavy. In the episode, I dive deeper into how I incorporate these practices this time of year.
The Level 2 course begins in 3 weeks and we are ge The Level 2 course begins in 3 weeks and we are gearing up to make it more amazing than ever before. We're adding new classes, teachers and finessing the curriculum to support the most transformative, deep-learning experience possible.⁠
⁠
But don't take our word for it, here's what some of our past Level 2 graduates are saying:⁠
⁠
🦋 "I am SO SO SO glad I said YES to Level 1. And even GLADER that I said YES to Level 2. This is more than a school. As someone who has her Masters degree & (loads) of 'qualifications', this is without doubt, the best 'school' I have ever studied under because it is taught with, from & for LOVE."⁠
⁠
🦋 "Level one blew my heart and mind open to make a shift in my business and LIFE from the unbalanced masculine to the balanced masculine & feminine. I leaned so far into this transformative energy that I went on to learn how to facilitate womb circles, and led my first one this past Sunday! It was a magical experience- singing, sharing and surrendering with a group of amazing women. I am excited to merge our lineage of Ayurveda with my lineage of womb teachings to create a uniquely magical way to serve the womxn in my community. So grateful for all the teachings, support and inspiration I received here..."⁠
⁠
Don't miss out on another incredible year with The Shakti School. We begin April 21st and there are only three weeks left to get in the door!⁠

⁠
🎓 Level 2 grads: what was the most impactful part of Level 2 for you? Share below to light up our incoming Level 2 class. 👇🏼✨
Have you ever had those days where you wake up fee Have you ever had those days where you wake up feeling amazing? There is a lightness in your step, your hair seems to look especially good and your skin is glowing? ✨⁠
⁠
And, then the very next day you have the opposite experience? You wake up feeling sluggish, a little puffy, and your hair is oddly oily or too dry and things seem to upset you easily? ⁠
⁠
Most likely the glorious day you had before also started off with the perfect poop. Yeah, that’s right, I said it. Poop. 💩⁠
⁠
Of course there can always be many other contributing factors at play here, but oftentimes it is our digestion that determines how we feel, how we look and how we see our inner and outside world.⁠
⁠
In Ayurveda, digestion is all about agni. When your digestion is strong your agni is strong. And, when agni is strong, you can easily tap into that glorious flow state. ⁠
⁠
A flow state is when you are in the zone. It’s when your mental clarity is at its peak, you feel vibrant, full of life and your shakti is lit up. When your digestive system is weakened it becomes much more difficult to follow through with daily tasks and your energy is usually pretty tanked. In Ayurveda, this is associated with an excess of ama. Ama is anything toxic that accumulates in the body. You can think of it as the sludge that slows down digestion. It is only when we are free from ama that we are able to digest our food properly and therefore we can more easily digest our life.⁠
