How to Stay Warm, Wet and Loved Up Like a Tigress This Fall

My new plant-crush is on an herb called Kapikacchu. Its a natural source of levadopa (L-dopa) which is an essential precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine. And um, can you say “in the mood?” Here are some good links and info on my favorite How to Stay Fabulous in Fall Ayurveda products.

Sleep like a sweet baby with jasmine and sesame oil for the scalp and head -an ancient Ayurvedic method for calming the system before sleep.

Feel as strong as a horse with Ashwaghanda tincture – Ashwagandha is one of the most highly regarded and commonly used adaptogens in the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia. Maximizing the body’s ability to resist stress, it enables the body to reserve and sustain vital energy throughout the day while promoting sound, restful sleep at night. It is considered one of the best herbs for calming vata and for revitalizing the male reproductive system. Used by both men and women, it maintains proper nourishment of the tissues, particularly muscle and bone, while supporting proper function of the adrenals. This potent herb is used to promote muscle strength and to support comfortable joint movement.

Have a happy baby belly – Vata Digest’s heating quality enkindles the digestive fire, stimulates a healthy appetite and helps ensure that nutrients are properly absorbed and assimilated. Its grounding quality helps calm the excessive air movement in the system that is characteristic of vata. The oil quality of the herbs supports the natural lubrication of the intestines, assisting in thorough and healthy elimination.

Make love like a tiger with Kapikacchu. This beautiful plant is a nutritive tonic commonly used in Ayurveda as an aphrodisiac and to support proper function of the reproductive system. It increases sexual energy and strengthens and tones the reproductive organs. In men, kapikacchu supports potency, stamina and control. In women it promotes a healthy libido and fertility. The vitality bestowed by kapikacchu nourishes the entire body and calms the nerves making it an excellent rejuvenative for vata. It is also natural source of levadopa (L-dopa) which is an essential precursor to the neurotransmitter dopamine.

Because no amount of deep breathing can fully prep Because no amount of deep breathing can fully prepare you for the chaotic holiday energy… 🦃✨

But here’s the thing. Feminine-form Ayurveda teaches us how to open to our feelings no matter what (even at the dinner table). 

When we understand our triggers through the lens of our energy and nervous system, we gradually learn how to stay grounded in our body and our peace. 

Those same old patterns begin to lose their power. You start responding from a place of clarity, compassion and true inner steadiness.

Beautiful person, if 2026 is your year for rooting into your deepest, truest Self, you’ve got only ONE week left to lock in $500 off tuition with our early bird discount on Ayurveda School. After that, the price jumps, and I would not want you to miss this window.

If you’re feeling the nudge, don’t wait. Invest in your future now, while the door is wide open.

Imagine this…

It’s January 2026. You log into class with hundreds of brilliant, soulful women from around the world. You’re learning the most ancient science of health and life, laughing, crying, growing and remembering your own sacredness. 

You’re finally doing something for YOU.

And from that place, everything else in your life begins to shift—your health, your work, your relationships… even your sense of being in alignment with your soul’s calling.

That’s what I want for you. And that’s what Ayurveda School can offer.

Don’t let this moment pass you by. The early bird discounted tuition closes in about one week, and the next time you think of it, the discount will be gone.

✨ Save your spot today and save big. Comment AYURVEDASCHOOL to learn more + find your people who actually get it.

Nature thrives in her cyclical routines. In fact, Nature thrives in her cyclical routines. In fact, She is very predictable.⁠
⁠
And although Her Wild Highness can throw a tornado into the mix, She usually gives us clear indications of her changes if we open our eyes to her subtlety. The more we can align with these rhythms, the easier it is to maintain body/mind health. The word for seasonal routine in Sanskrit is rutucharya.⁠
⁠
Rutucharya is not only related to the four seasons and the temperature outside. You may have noticed that life has its own seasonal flavor. You know, "to every thing (turn, turn, turn) there is a season." ⁠
⁠
Yes, from life, death, heat, cold, night, day, falling in love, breakups, and firm breasts to crow's feet, the Ayurvedic sages noticed natural changes both in terms of how the cycles of the seasons relate to the earth's axis, and of how people cycle through their own life in a continuous experience of expansiveness and contraction.⁠
⁠
As we begin to notice Nature's rhythms, we become more and more powerful. We tap into the Most Powerful One-Nature Herself.⁠
⁠
We also learn how to simultaneously work with the changes in our own bodies. We learn how to surrender to the inevitable beauty in the impermanence of everything.⁠
⁠
This autumn season (if you are in the Northern Hemisphere – if you’re in the Southern follow the Spring transitional Ayurveda recommendations!) calls for steadiness and ritual:⁠
⁠
✨ Keep consistent daily routines (your nervous system will thank you)⁠
🕯️ Turn inward with prayer and meditation⁠
🍵 Rest, reflect, and nourish yourself with grounding foods⁠
💨 Breathe deeply and let your body remember slowness⁠
⁠
These small sacred choices stabilize Vata dosha and awaken clarity, creativity and peace.⁠
⁠
This is the heart of what we teach in Shakti Ayurveda School — learning to live in harmony with the seasons of nature and the seasons of your soul.⁠
⁠
There’s just over one week left to lock in early bird tuition for our 2026 class (save $500 before tuition goes up!).⁠
