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.
