There’s a place inside of you that is both wild and steady, focused and untamable, brilliant and fragile.

There is a school on the planet that is currently training tigers to become wild again.

This school teaches us how to magnetize and evolve on both the worldly and spiritual realms. There is a radiant splendor to your personality that has the capacity to draw and melt all hearts.

That place longs to be birthed. Shakti School is the birthing ground.

Let us midwife you into the next stage of your love-evolution with a community committed to telling the truth. Join a school based on the premise that your soul’s longing to be and become are crucial to the future of humanity.

Awaken the inner lioness of fierce compassion and sensuality. Awaken the lost warrior who has forgotten how to remain committed to her own inner roar.

Our students form a global collective of visionary change-makers who use the sacred technology of inner wisdom to uncover and fearlessly offer their unique gifts to the planet.

Through the commitment to this education platform, we share the common goal of personal self-mastery as the starting point for bringing more healing, pleasure and freedom to ourselves and our communities.

Our Mission

The Shakti School’s mission is to uplift and nurture feminine-form movement and healing arts, and the rise of women stepping into their spiritual and creative authority.

This is important to us because when women truly step into their power, they use that power for the greater good. We are a 100% women-owned and operated small-business offering a creative, spiritually-inclined space for Divine Feminine Flow.

The Shakti School’s offerings are an amalgamation of lead teacher and founder Katie Silcox and the team’s journey through yoga and the holistic health movement.

We prioritize personal health and the health of our beloved planet Earth. At The Shakti School, we understand that changing the world and healing the planet starts with the integration of the individual first.

We believe in the interconnection of personal and collective evolution at all levels: spiritually, intellectually, sexually and emotionally.

We understand life as a long-term journey of learning, and value dynamic dialogue and evolutionary partnerships.

We cherish traditional wisdoms like yoga, Ayurveda and folk herbology, and enjoy integrating emergent wisdom from contemporary neuroscience, somatic psychology and functional medicine.

We are deeply honored and delighted to be sharing these teachings with you.

No matter your dreams or obstacles, you have the power to change your life and change the world. We know these teachings and methodologies, and the work we do together, will help you do just that.

The healing era hits different when you stop exili The healing era hits different when you stop exiling parts of yourself and invite them ALL to take up space in your inner world. The inner chaos gremlin? She may not always have the best delivery, but she puts us back in touch with our instincts and our fire. (She just needs to work in close collaboration with our more adult, wise, heart-centered Self to be truly effective 😉🔥.) 

When you stop managing yourself like a math equation and start embracing the mythical essence of all of your inner selves, your true magnetism, radiance and energy is unleashed. 🗝️
Summer makes us want to worship the sun – and it Summer makes us want to worship the sun – and it makes sense. We like feeling warm, golden and satisfied. The sun is literally life-giving! 🌞 In addition to ruling our agni (i.e. our inner fire, also known as our metabolism) the sun gives us ENERGY: ambition, passion, clarity and that unmistakable glow. Of course we want to bask in it!⁠
⁠
The key to basking in summer’s warm glow is to take care so that we don’t end up overheated, fire-engine red and hungover.⁠
⁠
To balancing the fire element in summer, aim to:⁠
⁠
🏋🏽‍♀️ Avoid intense exercise during peak sun (10am-2pm)⁠
⁠
🧘🏼‍♀️ Cool down any hot, fiery intensity with slower-moving exercise and breathing techniques⁠
⁠
😴 Sleep on your right side to cool the nervous system⁠
⁠
🕶️ Slowly acclimate to spending time in the sun and avoid peak UV exposure; get morning or late afternoon sun when instead (sunrise and sunset are ideal times to soak in the light!)⁠
⁠
Are you ready to harmonize your routines, nutrition, herbs and spiritual practices with nature’s rhythms, and support other women in doing the same?⁠
