When the clock says it’s time to leave but your When the clock says it’s time to leave but your inner Vata goddess can’t skip the song that just came on. 🤷🏼‍♀️

We know that Vata is the dosha of movement, creativity and spontaneity... but it can also be the dosha of always-being-late ‘cause your getting ready routine just turned into a full-blown mirror performance. 💃🏽🌀
We all have Pitta dosha in our constitution, but s We all have Pitta dosha in our constitution, but some of us have a bit more “fire” inside. 🔥⁠
⁠
It’s important to get to know the qualities of Pitta dosha—especially if you live in the Northern Hemisphere—because as we move into summer, Pitta will be on the rise. The macrocosm of the seasons and the microcosm of our bodies are closely interrelated, so when the fire element increases in the external environment, it requires that we counterbalance this excess heat with our food and lifestyle decisions. If you’re a Pitta type in a hot climate, you may be especially prone to becoming “hot-headed” or inflamed as we move into summer! ⁠
⁠
In our year-long Ayurveda certification program, you’ll learn Ayurvedic wisdom for identifying the doshas, gain insight into your own constitution and develop the expertise to help others find balance. ⁠
⁠
This is the final call for our 2026 book bonus! We're giving all the books you need for class (that's a $200 value) to the first ten women who sign up for 2026 Shakti Ayurveda School—and there’s only ONE spot left to claim this free gift! 📚 ⁠
⁠
The next goddess to sign up for 2026 Ayurveda School will get all of your books, including copies of each of my books signed by yours truly, straight to your doorstep. Register now for 2026 at the link in our bio. 🌷

In this feature with Canvas Rebel, Katie shares her insights from building the small, woman-run (and now globally beloved!) business we know as The Shakti School. 😉 ⁠

For this recipe, just let the sun do the steeping. For this recipe, just let the sun do the steeping. 🌞 Fill a glass jar with dried rose petals + fresh mint and let it infuse under the midday rays for a few hours. What do you get?

⁠
Here’s a little bit about how these plant allies help support us during the warmer months of the year…⁠
⁠
🌹 Rose - The ultimate flower of the Divine Feminine:⁠
⁠
 • Cools the heat of both the body and our emotions (hi, Pitta spiciness 😅)⁠
 • Soothes the heart and uplifts mood with its subtle, floral sweetness⁠
 • Some studies have demonstrated that rose also has the potential to support the reproductive and nervous systems, and even impact dopamine levels⁠
⁠
🌿 Mint - The crisp, clarifying herb we all need in summer:⁠
⁠
 • Helps to clear excess heat and inflammation from the gut and skin⁠
 • Stimulates digestion without aggravating Pitta (exactly what we want!)⁠
 • Awakens the mind while calming overactive fire in the head + heart 🔥⁠
⁠
Sip this floral elixir all day long to stay hydrated, radiant and keep your Pitta chilled out. Your inner fire goddess will thank you. 🧘🏼‍♀️⁠
