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.

I’m fifteen, the sun is setting behind the Bapti I’m fifteen, the sun is setting behind the Baptist church across the street, and I’m having my first kiss. I’m clutching a cherry Slurpee from 7-Eleven. My hands frozen, but my stomach warm with the butterflies of anticipation.

I’ll spare you the full awkward glory of it. Just know: it was thrilling only because it was my first kiss…but it was a little icky. The moment felt more like a nervous science experiment than a cinematic love scene.

And yet for years, I had fantasized about this kiss. I’d built altars to it in my Lisa Frank rainbow notebooks, baptized it in hot pink dolphin dreams. I prayed to the feeling of it—of being wanted, of being chosen, of being seen.

That imagined kiss? It was electric, perfect, Divine.

The real one? A little wet and weird. But also sacred in its own way.

Here’s what I know now: Desire isn’t the problem. It’s the path.

Our work is not to shut down desire, but to refine it.

To redirect it - not toward perfection or external validation - but toward our innermost self. 

Toward the Source.

Toward what is most true.

C.S. Lewis said it best about our desires (what a shocker): “It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

It was always about your heart.

And it’s unstoppable, holy ache to remember who you truly are.

That ache? That’s the curriculum of our school.

Shakti Ayurveda School is a soul community. A real-talk, no-BS, deeply feminine journey into healing, desire, laughter and transformation.

Our Summer of Love sale is ending in just 4 days (lowest price + tons of free gifts when you join Ayurveda School).
