🧠 “Can I join Ayurveda School just for myself 🧠 “Can I join Ayurveda School just for myself? I’m not sure if I want to coach others, but I still want to learn.”⁠
⁠
✅ Many students come to this program simply to heal, deepen their self-understanding and reconnect with their inner guidance. Yes, our school is a training program to become a certified Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, but Level 1 is also intentionally designed as a personal transformation journey - a place to unravel old patterns, tend to your lineage and build a relationship with your own body’s wisdom.⁠
⁠
Module 6 of our Level 1 curriculum is where this becomes especially powerful. You’ll explore your subtle energy anatomy: prana, the vayus, the koshas, the chakras—the deeper layers that help you hear your own inner signals with clarity. Whether or not you decide to coach others after graduating, we teach you how to be your own first client, your own mentor, your own healer.⁠
⁠
Here’s a look inside Module 6: Subtle Ayurveda⁠
⁠
✔ Your energy! Prana as guiding intelligence⁠
✔ The Five Prana Vayus⁠
✔ The Pancha Koshas: The 5 sheaths of your being⁠
✔ Feminine-form spirituality, Laya, Kundalini and the Chakras⁠
✔ Ayurvedic coaching basics⁠

The one thing that isn’t up for debate: ice water and cold drinks (especially in winter!) totally slow digestion and weaken your agni. So the bloating might actually be real. ;) 🧊😆🔥 original reel by @thevaglefamily

Your body is doing way more than snoozing at night Your body is doing way more than snoozing at night, goddess. According to Ayurveda, those sweet nighttime hours are when your tissues repair, your hormones reset, your digestion recalibrates and your ojas (your juicy life-sap) gets replenished.⁠
⁠
Modern science agrees: sleep is when your brain takes out the trash (hello lymphatic system), lowers inflammation, balances stress hormones and literally rebuilds you for the next day. No wonder everything feels harder and crankier when we’re not getting enough beauty rest.⁠
⁠
When you treat your sleep like the sacred health pillar it is… your future self will literally be glowing with thanks.⁠
