Ok, so I finally have a kitchen again and it's lif Ok, so I finally have a kitchen again and it's life changing. I am all up in here Grandma-maxxing so hard this fall season. (Vata, we got this!) ⁠
⁠
Here is an actual photo of my home-made bath bombs, natural soaps and a very serious Bernedoodle.⁠
⁠
Grandma-maxxing is what the Zoomers call a rebellion against the insanity of modern life. It's the radical, old-fashioned art of slowing down and remembering that we are HUMAN BEINGS, not productivity machines! ⁠
⁠
It's making things with our hands, tending to our gardens, baking bread, stirring pots, sewing, knitting and finding sweet pleasure in the most ordinary things. ⁠
⁠
It's choosing the wisdom of our grandmothers over the endless scroll of the algorithm. It's remembering that women have gathered around kitchens, shared recipes, told stories, teased each other, made medicine and generally created beauty for THOUSANDS of years.⁠
⁠
And guess what? Our nervous systems LOVE this stuff. ⁠
⁠
Grandma-maxxing is about reclaiming the lost arts of being a woman, living seasonally, making things slowly and remembering that sometimes the most revolutionary thing we can do is put down our phones and bake a bomb-ass pie. ⁠
⁠
Read through these and see which ones LIGHT up your body. Trust that that’s the one for you:⁠
⁠
Making homemade soap, knitting a cozy sweater, baking sourdough bread, growing medicinal herbs, making homemade jam, sewing or embroidering, arranging fresh flowers, making herbal teas, canning summer vegetables, creating homemade candles, crocheting blankets, writing handwritten letters, making bone broth, tending a vegetable garden, pressing flowers in old books, making homemade body oils and salves, baking pies from scratch, birdwatching in the backyard, learning to quilt and gathering with girlfriends to make things, sip tea, laugh and tell stories. ⁠
⁠
These are the kind of kitchen magic projects we will coach you into this year in Level one.⁠

⁠
We don’t memorize all the Sanskrit rules perfectly while ignoring the fact that most of us are starting from a place of being addicted to iced coffee and Instagram.⁠
⁠
Why? Because the actual Sanskrit verses tell us to MEET OURSELVES (and others) WHERE WE ARE! ⁠
⁠

Shakti Ayurveda School isn't just a famed certification program. It teaches you how to heal yourself and to support others on their healing path. It's a revolution of feminine-form health, blending the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and Tantra with modern science to create full-spectrum health and balance in body, mind and spirit. ⁠
⁠
Our feminine-form online Ayurveda certification school is more than Ayurveda - it's Lady Life school.⁠
⁠
The term Feminine-Form Ayurveda points to the way we seek to remember and honor the long lineage of women wisdom keepers that have come before us. ⁠
⁠
The ways of our medicine-and-spirit-women ancestors were rarely written down or codified and were often passed down orally, yet these women were the stewards of birth, death, herbalism, menstruation, postpartum, menopause and so much more. ⁠
⁠
Ancient women’s wisdom is the lineage of Shakti Ayurveda School.⁠
⁠
It’s time to reconnect with the wisdom of Mother Nature.⁠
