Ayurveda School Questions

What if I don't want to be a health coach? Can I do this just for me?
Yes! You don't have to be invested in becoming an ayurvedic health coach to reap all the benefits from this program. This is for anyone who wants to dive deep into themselves with guidance and deeply heal while learning from the masters of Ayurvedic wisdom. It's why we broke up the program into 2 levels. This program is an amalgamation of all I've learned about health and wellness + YOU are the #1 benefactor. It's my mentorship program on steroids, except that you are being mentored BY YOU and YOUR BODY. This is a course about investigating and healing our DNA and lineage. You cannot guide others if you yourself are stuck, so we start at home base.

What if I live in the woods in a yurt and don’t believe in the internet?
How fun! Unfortunately, being able to watch lectures and participate in group calls requires access to a reliable internet connection and a computer that can handle streaming. Much of the perks of this program is that it is ACCESSIBLE to most anyone willing to put in the time and show up. You don’t have to travel or drive anywhere, which is awesome. You can learn and grow from the comfort of your home. It’s like home schooling but better (and cooler) because your network of peers are badass woman from all over the world ready to rise out from the stale patriarchy and claim their health and abundance.

I've never even read a book about Ayurveda, can I still join?
Yes! We start from the very top. The best place to start is by reading my book Healthy, Happy, Sexy. It covers the basics and you’ll feel very confident about diving into Ayurvedic theory during the first few months of the course having had read that already.

How many hours a week should I plan to dedicate to this?
It depends on you and how deep you want to go. But we think the minimum is 5hrs per week. All the live classes are recorded and stored in our virtual classroom so you can watch and re-watch as much as you like. You have lifetime access to the content once you've paid off your tuition. Remember, each level of the program is a year-long - you have time. Make space for and commit to the weekly lectures just like you would for any higher education or professional training program. Slow + steady wins the race everytime! =)

What will I be certified in?
The Shakti School curriculum of study is based on the highest standards and requirements for online Ayurveda education. Upon completion of our Level One program, Shakti School students will be certified as Ayurvedic Wellness Coaches (Level 1), and upon completion of our 2-year program, as Ayurvedic Health Counselors. We are also proud to announce that our students, with proof of proper insurance and course completion can fully practice Ayurveda lifestyle counseling within the scope of study as a Level 1 or Level 2 counselor. Our school is a member of the Association of Ayurvedic Professionals of North America, and upon course completion, our students can also become members of this registry.

What is the current state of Ayurveda regulation in the U.S. and internationally?
Currently in the U.S. and abroad, Ayurveda and health coaching are unregulated industries. Shakti School is building a pillar for women’s healing traditions in that void. Our graduates will be listed on our website's directory of feminine-form Ayurvedic counselors, but will need to inform themselves on the laws and regulations in their country. During our training program, we will inform students of current legal limitations and considerations.

The world of healthcare is in transition because the system is broken. There has never been a better time to join the movement of holistic health practitioners that are going to shape the healthcare world for generations to come.

What if I'm not a yoga teacher, or never worked for myself? Can I still be a successful coach?
Yes, absolutely! You'll learn all the basics, and more, in our business and empowerment module. Plus, you'll be surrounded by friends all going through the same process of starting or elaborating on their careers. It's never been easier and more accessible for woman to start and run businesses. Have courage!

How does the payment plan work?
Your first monthly payment is processed on the day you register. The remaining monthly installments are deducted from your payment source on the same day each month going forward until the end of the payment plan. We cannot change the date of when the payment is deducted from your account. So if there is a particular day you wish to have the payment deducted, for example on the 5th of each month, then please register on the 5th of the month.

Do you offer scholarships?
Yes, please review our scholarship process here.

In Ayurveda, Agni is more than your digestion. Ag In Ayurveda, Agni is more than your digestion.

Agni is the sacred fire that transforms what you take in from the outside world into vitality, clarity and wisdom.

When your Agni is strong, you don’t just break down food with ease - you metabolize emotions, challenges and life changes. You have the power to burn through confusion, soften your defenses and transform what’s stuck or hard into insight and freedom.

Old hurts lose their grip.
Confusion burns away, revealing truth.
The “stuck places” in your body and psyche soften, making space for more.

Agni is not just a physiological process…it’s foundational to our psychological and spiritual vitality.

When you tend your sacred fire, you feel more grounded and resilient in times of change.

You see clearly what needs to stay and what needs to be released.

It’s easier to connect to the part of you that is already whole and needs nothing added.

And here’s the beautiful paradox:

Tending Agni doesn’t have to be about doing more.

Removing what dims your inner flame (like outdated habits, stagnant emotions and the “shoulds” that never belonged to you) is one way that we can increase our agni-power.

This is the work we do at The Shakti School: this community is about holding you as you release what’s dimming your light and step into habits, spiritual practices and purpose-driven action that helps you burn brighter.

🪔  Are you ready to reawaken your inner fire?

I’ve been on a deep dive into natural hormone su I’ve been on a deep dive into natural hormone support—because your mood swings, sleepless nights and that weird bloaty rage aren’t just "you being crazy." 😬⁠
⁠
They’re signs your cool aunt hormone (aka progesterone) might be MIA.⁠
⁠
But here’s the kicker: PROGESTERONE is super sensitive.⁠
⁠
To stress. To blood sugar spikes. To liver congestion. To xenoestrogens. To basically being a modern woman. So, NO IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT YOUR HORMONES ARE WHACK. ⁠
⁠
So what’s a gal to do?⁠
⁠
Here’s what I’m loving lately to bring her back in:⁠
⁠
🌿 Liver love: Your liver is the queen of hormone metabolism. I’m loving warm lemon water, dandelion root tea, nettles, dill-for-days (!) beets, milk thistle and castor oil packs over the womb & liver. Plus dry brushing and self-abhyanga with cooling oils like coconut, monoi and honeysuckle. ⁠
⁠
🍳 Blood sugar balancing meals: Try more healthy fats, veggies and grassfed or vegetarian protein - like 80-90 grams a day! ⁠
⁠
🌻 Vitamin B6 + magnesium + zinc: These are the micronutrient fairy godmothers of your luteal phase. (Hello, pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate.) Also, do not skimp on the dates! ⁠
⁠
🌸 Shatavari, wild yam, maca and chasteberry (Vitex). These are our Ayurvedic and herbal allies for feminine hormone harmony. Make sure to check any contraindications, but I am mad about maca lately. ⁠
⁠
🧘🏽‍♀️ Less cortisol, more calm. Daily meditation, alternate nostril breathing and saying no to anything that isn’t a soul yes.⁠
⁠
The truth is, our hormonal systems are WISE.⁠
⁠
They are mirrors of our relationship with our inner feminine.⁠
⁠
This is exactly the kind of thing we go DEEP into in our Ayurveda School.⁠
⁠
Our 2026 Level 1 Ayurveda Certification is now open for enrollment – and I want you to know:⁠
This isn’t just another health course.⁠
⁠
It’s a portal to becoming the embodied healer you’ve been seeking.⁠

Often we try to chase our soul purpose, trying to Often we try to chase our soul purpose, trying to pin it down with a job title, a passion project or a perfect 5 year plan. 

But true purpose doesn’t come from your career path. 

It emerges from your sankalpa—a vow whispered by your heart, anchored in the deepest part of your being.

A sankalpa (in other words, a heart vow) isn’t about what you want to achieve or manifest. it’s about who you came here to be, no matter what unfolds.

Dive in deeper to remember the vow your heart came here to fulfill—in Ep. 215 of Spirit Sessions Podcast, I’ll break down:

🌹 What a Sankalpa actually is (and what it’s not)

🌹 Why goals and vision boards fall short without clarity around your heart’s deepest intention

🌹 How to uncover the vow your soul is already holding deep within

🌹 The sacred role of grief, fear and anger on the path of aligning with your soul’s purpose

🌹 Why your unique Sankalpa holds the seed of true healing + service in the world

Want to discover your real purpose? It all starts with your sankalpa.
