Words from Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Trai Words from Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Training Program graduates… 🌿⁠
⁠
This is what happens when women step into the deeper layers of this work, where Ayurveda meets feminine embodiment, clinical understanding and real-life application. Level 2 is not just about learning more… it’s about becoming someone who can truly hold this wisdom for herself and others.⁠
⁠
Our students walk away with a profound connection to their bodies, their cycles and the rhythms of nature, while also gaining the tools to support others with confidence and clarity. ⁠
⁠
From herbs and nutrition to pregnancy, postpartum and the bridge between Western and Eastern medicine, this training is both deeply practical and deeply transformational.⁠
⁠
And perhaps most importantly… it reignites something. A spark. A sense of aliveness. A remembering of who you are and how you’re meant to serve. ⚡️⁠
⁠
There is no such thing as “too late,” nor “too old,” nor “too saturated” when it comes to this ancient wisdom that’s deeply needed. ⁠
⁠
The world needs embodied, grounded, heart-led practitioners now more than ever.⁠
⁠
✨ There are only four weeks until our 2026 Level 2 training begins on April 21st.⁠
⁠
☎️ If you are a Shakti School Level 1 graduate interested in exploring Level 2, we invite you to book a call with our team to learn more. ⁠
⁠
Comment “LEVEL2” (one word) to book a call with one of our coaches.⁠
⁠
Please note that these calls are available only to Level 1 graduates who are interested in exploring our Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Certification Training.
Kapha season is that late winter to early spring t Kapha season is that late winter to early spring transition when things start to melt… and sometimes we do too.💦 If you’re feeling a little heavier or slower, or feeling an urge to get things moving and flowing, you’re right on time! We can balance kapha heaviness with foods that lighten, warm and gently stimulate the system. 🌿⁠
⁠
Here are some of our favorite Kapha-balancing foods for spring:⁠
⁠
🧅 Onions + garlic → pungent, heating and help break up stagnation⁠
🫘 Split peas, mung beans, red lentils → light, drying and easy to digest⁠
🫒 Olive oil → a lighter fat that supports without weighing you down⁠
🌿 Fresh herbs → help brighten digestion and adds fresh, spring zest!⁠
🐟 Freshwater fish + wild salmon → clean protein that’s easier to metabolize than heavy meats⁠
🍯 Raw honey → naturally scraping (lekhana), helps reduce excess Kapha⁠
🌾 Amaranth + quinoa + barley + basmati → light, protein-rich grains that don’t create heaviness⁠
🥬 Cabbage + asparagus → bitter, astringent spring veggies that detox + de-bloat (all the greens this season!)⁠
🍇 Dried fruit → provides light sweetness when used in moderation⁠
🍗 Chicken → a lean, grounding protein without excess heaviness⁠
🍎 Apples or seasonal fruit → light, cleansing and supportive for digestion⁠
🥛 Goat milk (or lighter dairy) → easier to digest for kapha than heavier dairy options⁠
🌶️ Heating spices → ginger, turmeric, cumin & black pepper to stoke agni 🔥⁠
⁠
This is the season to eat a little lighter and support your digestion so your energy can come back online.⁠
⁠
🌎 Note: This guidance is for those in the Northern Hemisphere moving into spring. If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, you’ll want to follow a more Vata-balancing, warming and grounding approach as you move into fall.⁠

There’s only ONE MONTH until we come back togeth There’s only ONE MONTH until we come back together for our second year of feminine-form Ayurvedic studies! Swipe for the deepened feminine-form education you’ll be immersed into in Level 2. 👉🏼😍⁠
⁠
Level 2 is so special because it’s a much smaller group. This means more opportunity to get to know your cohort (aka Ayurveda best-gal-pals) and the teachers. A more intimate group really gives Level 2 a distinct feel that we absolutely love. ⁠
⁠
And of course, the opportunity to take your studies to the next level!⁠
⁠
We start April 21st – just one month from now!⁠
⁠
Want to chat with a graduate about their experience in the Level 2 program? Book a call with a Level 2 Ayurveda School graduate at the link in bio to find out if a second year of the program is aligned with your goals and dreams. ⁠

Can't wait to see you back in the Shakti School container. We start SO SOON.⁠

With love,⁠
Katie and Team Shakti
I have a really good friend who once told me somet I have a really good friend who once told me something I will never forget. It pops into my head precisely during those moments when I feel like I am overwhelmed or have too many goals, dreams or just endless mundane items on my to-do list. 

It was this: The goal is to keep the goal the goal.

Seems simple, right? But it is profound precisely because in our day and age, we are BOMBARDED with info, and starving for wisdom. We are, as the youngsters say, suffering from “brain rot.” We tap into our deepest intuitions and then they fly out the door like a toddler on espresso at a birthday party. We get clarity and then we forget. 

Just pause. What are your 5 major life goals right now? Let me give you an example of mine. 

1. Eat clean and right daily. 
2. Meditate for 30 min. And pray to God through my intention to awaken in this life from anything that would keep me from my truest nature. 
3. Do my self-care recovery practices
4. Exercise. 
5. Serve others in an intentional way daily (a.k.a. Not just my selfish desires) 

What are yours?

I recommend writing them on a sticky note and plastering it to your bathroom mirror. Or put it on a card on your altar. 

🌷 See you in class? Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Online Certification Training begins in just a month and we’re inviting you in. 

With love,
Katie and Team Shakti
Have you ever felt like something going on in your Have you ever felt like something going on in your life was just, “too much to digest?” 

Our bodies respond not only to physical signals, but also to psychoemotional ones.

In Ayurveda, Agni - our metabolic fire and capacity to digest and assimilate food - is more than just physical. 🔥

Agni is the sacred fire that transforms what we take in. Yes that includes food, but it also speaks to our relationships, experiences, creative projects, and even the thoughts and ideas we take in.

When our agni is strong, we don’t just digest our food more smoothly… we metabolize our experiences, emotions, life challenges and the whole messy beautiful ride of being human with more grace and power.

When agni is thriving, the stuck places in our psyches (and yes, also our digestive systems!) begin to move again.

Healing isn’t just about what we eat. It’s about what we’re able to digest in life.

If you’re curious to learn more about tending this inner transformative fire, comment WISDOM and we’ll send you our free Divine Feminine Ayurveda mini-course. 🪔✨
