TheShaktiSchool

We've seen it year after year after year. ⁠ ⁠ We've seen it year after year after year. ⁠
⁠
The Level 2 women that really give themselves to this program, do launch their businesses. ⁠
⁠
They do change their lives. ⁠
⁠
They do learn how to stand in their confidence and dignity. ⁠
⁠
They do deepen their knowledge of Ayurveda first-principles.⁠
⁠
They do create feminine-form businesses that change their own lives while impacting others on a deep level.⁠
⁠
This is because it's already inside them. We just offer the platform, the structure, and the energetic net of support. ⁠
⁠
Don't miss out on this singular opportunity that won't come around again for another year. Don't miss this opportunity to stay with your sacred cohort of women that you studied with in Level One. ⁠
⁠
Ayurveda Tuesdays start tomorrow at 2PM Eastern. We are here. We are waiting for you. Don’t miss the meditation party. ⁠
⁠
🌿 Comment LEVEL2 for the link to join us.
When you start hearing words like oil pulling, CCF When you start hearing words like oil pulling, CCF tea, abhyanga across the table and have that moment of instant recognition with someone… 

Ayurveda is like learning a foreign language (at times, literally… hello Sanskrit!) It’s a way of seeing the world, a way of understanding nature, your body and your rhythms, and once you start learning it, you can’t un-hear it. 

And there’s nothing better than meeting someone else who just GETS it, who doesn’t look at you like you have five heads when you start talking about the elements, amiright? It’s like this deep remembrance of, oh, we’re speaking the same code. 🧬

🌿 Calling all Level 1 grads—if you’re ready to step back into sisterhood with people that truly speak your language, Level 2 begins on Tuesday. It’s not too late to join us!
Are you ready to take your Ayurveda practice deepe Are you ready to take your Ayurveda practice deeper? To not only embody this ancient wisdom but to step into the role of a true healer and guide?⁠
⁠
Level 2 of The Shakti School’s Ayurveda Certification is more than a course—it’s an initiation. It’s the container where your knowledge transforms into intuition, where you shift from student to Ayurvedic Health Counselor, ready to serve and support others with confidence.⁠
⁠
This is where we take everything you learned in Level 1 and elevate it—diving deeper into pathology, advanced herbalism, counseling techniques, spirituality, manifestation and the energetics of true healing. It’s a powerful step, and it’s calling your name.⁠
⁠
In Level 2, you will:⁠
⁠
🧬 Gain deeper expertise in Ayurvedic diagnosis and treatment planning⁠
⁠
🧬 Learn advanced herbal formulations and energetics⁠
⁠
🧬 Develop the skills to confidently guide clients on their healing journeys⁠
⁠
🧬 Immerse yourself in the art of Ayurvedic counseling and spiritual healing⁠
⁠
🧬 Dive deep into sensual wellness and embodiment⁠
⁠
🧬 Hone new techniques for balancing the nervous system ⁠
⁠
This program is designed for the woman who is ready to claim her wisdom, embody her dharma and step into her highest expression. And you don’t have to do it alone - our incredible community of teachers and students will be right there with you, every step of the way.⁠
⁠
🕯️ The doors are closing soon. If you feel the pull, trust it. Your next level is waiting.

We created Level 2 quite honestly for two simple r We created Level 2 quite honestly for two simple reasons:⁠
⁠
1. Something magical occurred in Level 1 and our students didn't want it to be over ⁠
2. Neither did we⁠
⁠
Level 2 is the outcome of knowing, deep in our hearts, that our journey together was only the beginning. This upcoming year together is so much more than just learning more Ayurveda  theory. It is about deepening our relationship to ourselves and one another. ⁠
⁠
And If there is one core goal that we have at the Shakti School - it is to provide a place where women can have the space, time and tools to be able to contact their own inner healer. ⁠
⁠
This deepening of our first year together was also created to hone in with a more intimate group of women who truly wanted to dedicate themselves to another year of deep, inner and outer study. ⁠
⁠
Simply stated, Level 2 students are the ones who REALLY get it. They want to expand upon the most important concepts in feminine form Ayurveda both intellectually and through their embodied lives. This includes honing in on the deeper purpose and meaning of why we practice and study. ⁠
⁠
Think about it like this - there was probably at least one big idea that you came across in Level 1 that had the potential to be MASSIVE -  a mind blowing, heart shattering concept that was presented. But, like all of us, sometimes we can't hear the big idea. ⁠
⁠
We skip over it. ⁠
We run from it because it asks us to reorganize our reality.⁠
We aren't ready.⁠
We are subconsciously afraid of what it may ask of us.⁠
⁠
Or maybe the dog just barked and you didn't hear it! ⁠
⁠
And so we don’t integrate it. It doesn’t penetrate us. It can’t change us. ⁠
⁠
I know this has been true for me in every step along my journey. I need repetition. ⁠
⁠
And so, Level 2 is about giving you the space to review some of those big ideas that may change your life forever - offering you more space and time to be able to hold it and to let it sink in. Like the waves of the ocean onto a coral reef.⁠
⁠
See you in THREE DAYS with some BIG ideas,⁠
⁠
Katie + Team Shakti
