Life is fast and oftentimes we are stressed, hungr Life is fast and oftentimes we are stressed, hungry or reaching for whatever food is in sight just so we can make it to the end of the day. ⁠
⁠
Bad food choices, negative thinking, stress and a fast-paced lifestyle lead to digestive imbalances. ⁠
⁠
With time, micro-imbalances lead to macro-imbalances and you are left with AMA, a rotten by-product of bad digestion. ⁠
⁠
When this sludge builds up, it prevents our belly from getting the good nutrients out of the healthy food we are eating. Ayurveda views ama as the single most toxic threat to our radiant health. ⁠
⁠
Here are some quick tips to start boosting your AGNI and reducing your AMA today:⁠
⁠
🫖⁠ Sip warm water with ginger or fennel throughout the day
⁠
☀️⁠ Eat your largest meal at midday
⁠
⏳⁠ Avoid snacking when not hungry
⁠
🍓 Don’t mix dairy with fruit
⁠
❄️ Take a break from cold, heavy, processed foods
⁠
🍲 Try a simple kitchari cleanse for a few days
Our hormones hold sacred spiritual gifts. But only Our hormones hold sacred spiritual gifts. But only when we understand, and work WITH rather than AGAINST our physiology.

Ayurveda teaches us how to work with food, lifestyle, herbs, exercise, daily rhythms and spiritual practices in order to support our feminine fluctuations with greater peace, balance and juiciness.

I have a podcast episode all about this if you’re ready to dive in deeper—comment “186” and I’ll send you the link to this rich conversation about all things hormones, women’s cycles, shame, perimenopause, menopause and more with one of our lead teachers in our feminine-form Ayurveda School: the one and only Mary Thompson. 

You’ll learn how Ayurveda views our feminine waves, how to work WITH your symptoms (not against them) and how to embrace whatever season of womanhood you’re in. 

✨ Comment “186” and we’ll send you the link to listen now.
For thousands of years, prior to the institutional For thousands of years, prior to the institutionalizing of the healing arts, women have stood at the core of healing and spiritual traditions. But as our folk healing traditions were codified, women’s wisdom was pushed aside in favor of more systematic, modernized approaches. 

Embodied knowing was dismissed. Intuitive healing went underground.

But this is the truth: Our inner knowing can never be fully silenced.

Feminine-form Ayurveda is a remembering of that which we have always known. It’s a return to our spiritual and embodied intelligence.

It’s not a practice of adding more—but of subtracting everything that blocks the deeper radiance of your Soul from shining through.

At The Shakti School, we teach a form of Ayurveda that honors the sacred, cyclical, emotional and energetic dimensions of a woman’s life.

This is the kind of healing our grandmothers may never have had the chance to embody—

but we do.

It’s time to reclaim your inner wisdom and remember the power that has always been yours.

So, I failed math in college. Like… epically. So, I failed math in college.

Like… epically.

Like crying in a TA’s office while trying to understand what cosine even is.

Like I still actually have sweaty stress nightmares about not passing college calculus. 

Like, “Katie, maybe you’re more of a philosophy girl.”

And guess what?

They were right.

I was wired for a different kind of intelligence.

One that can’t be tested on paper or memorized from a textbook.

🌿 Ayurveda teaches us there are many forms of intelligence:

~ Emotional: the kind that lets sense the vibe in the room or the texture of your own feelings 
~ Mental: the wisdom to witness your thoughts without becoming them and to use the rational mind for good
~ Spiritual: the capacity to stay connected to Source, even when life is spinning
~ Embodied: the raw, embodied energy that lives in your hips, your gut, your heartbeat, your womb

This kind of intelligence doesn’t get you an A+ on a test.

It gets you a life you actually want to be inside of.
 
And here’s the BEST thing:

When you begin to grow these dimensions of intelligence - your digestion gets better.
Your sleep deepens.
Your nervous system chills the F out.
You cry and laugh more easily.
You start to trust your intuition again.
You feel more you.
 
If any part of you has been craving a deeper kind of learning—one that feels like coming home to yourself—

Then I want to gently invite you to explore our 2026 Ayurveda School Certification.

This isn’t just about herbs and doshas (though we love those too).

It’s about becoming the kind of woman who is wise, emotionally attuned, spiritually connected and deeply grounded in her own body.

The kind of woman who maybe failed math…(although we have several math and science GENIUSES in our school right now!)

but aced in love, healing, beauty and service.
