The Shakti School exists to help bring the ancient The Shakti School exists to help bring the ancient system of Ayurveda into the bodies of women on this planet right now, in a way that makes sense for our modern lives. ⁠
⁠
One of the biggest hallmarks of this form of medicine is the utilization of intuition. Our intuition always rises again because it lives in our bodies. ⁠
⁠
And so, Ayurveda is really this bigger idea of being able to deeply tune into the body, ⁠
⁠
of walking down into the cave of your own heart, ⁠
⁠
of putting your hands on your flesh and entering into a relationship with yourself, ⁠
⁠
of uncovering parts of yourself that you may have consciously or unconsciously hidden from yourself, ⁠
⁠
of doing the very brave and powerful work of awakening our own heart.⁠
⁠
Ayurveda, beyond being this beautiful tradition from India, is on a grander macro level, a returning to truth. ⁠
⁠
That truth is the laws of nature in your body. And that is the intention behind everything we attempt to do at Shakti School.⁠

This is the rhythm of September. 🍃 Ayurveda rem This is the rhythm of September. 🍃 Ayurveda reminds us that in Northern Hemisphere, we may begin to feel the first whispers of vata season as the energy of summer softens and the body starts craving more nourishment, more boundaries and a little more quiet.⁠
