Editorial Reviews

Dr. Claudia Welch
“Ayurveda originated, in part, to address the disorders and ease the discomfort of a populous grown increasingly distant from the intimate practical knowledge of, and proximity to nature’s cycles, seasons, and wisdom. Katie Silcox empathizes with these city and worldly dwellers, and shares simple, light-hearted, possibly life-changing perspectives and techniques that hail from the time-tested sisters in Indian sciences: Ayurveda and Yoga.”

Meredith Hogan
“Katie Silcox, you are the Carrie Bradshaw of the yoga and Ayurveda movement in the United States.”

Sharon Gannon
"Katie translates the self-help ancient system of Ayurveda for the modern woman who wants to be more healthy, happy, and sexy, and achieve the goals of pleasure, prosperity, purpose, and freedom—living life to the fullest."

Prashanti de Jager
"Katie's book feeds her readers, no doubt, but more importantly in many ways, it also nourishes the Ayurvedic tradition itself."

When your Pitta friend goes from enlightened godde When your Pitta friend goes from enlightened goddess to fire-breathing dragon in 0.2 seconds because lunch was ten minutes late. 🔥 (Or, maybe you ARE that friend…) 😉

Don’t worry babe–it’s not a personality flaw, it’s just a little hanger-fueled agni collapse. 

In Ayurveda, Pitta types are ruled by the fire element, and their digestive fire (agni) burns hot and fast. For any of us (not just Pitta types!) skipping meals or delaying eating can put undue stress on our agni, causing it to either grow too intense or totally burn out.

To stay balanced, prioritize eating regular meals and try to eat before you reach the point of “hanger” - this helps to keep your agni regulated and your mind clear (AND your relationships intact 😉).
Hey goddess - we are opening our doors once again Hey goddess - we are opening our doors once again to invite you on a transformative journey towards holistic well-being with our year-long, immersive Ayurvedic Wellness Coach certification training.⁠
⁠

At The Shakti School, everything we do is geared towards learning ancient wisdom so that we can support our experience as modern women. 💅🏽 That means we make room for cutting edge science and contemporary takes, all while revering the time-tested ancient Ayurvedic philosophy. ⁠
⁠
Above all, our feminine-form approach is about providing you with a thorough, extensive Ayurvedic education–and then writing you a big permission slip to listen to your OWN inner authority.⁠
⁠
Whether you’ve been in the wellness game for years or you can’t even pronounce “Ayurveda” yet (no shame, we got you), this school is designed to meet you where you are, and then take you way deeper. ⁠
⁠
Shakti Ayurveda School is a full-body, soul-led initiation into the healer within. 🔥🌹⁠

Mama nature usually gives us clear indications of Mama nature 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. Just as seasonal shifts transform the weather where we live, they also shake up the internal landscape within our bodies. ⁠
⁠
In the Northern Hemisphere, it’s time to start gently incorporating pitta-balancing elements into our food and lifestyle. Depending on where you live, it’s generally a good time to lean into pitta-balancing practices when you start to notice…⁠
⁠
~ Warmer temperatures⁠
⁠
~ Longer daylight hours⁠
⁠
~ A shift from the lush, wet heaviness of spring to a drier, sharper heat⁠
⁠
~ Increased internal heat (like irritability, skin flare-ups or digestive intensity)⁠
⁠
Most simply put, once you start feeling more heat and dryness in your body than you do watery heaviness, it’s a green light to start introducing some pitta-balancing practices into your routine. Swipe for some tips for navigating the spring > summer transition with watery ease. 🌊
A few things you should definitely know about our A few things you should definitely know about our Ayurvedic Wellness Coach certification program (that we lovingly call “Ayurveda School” for short): 

1) It’s not just for women who want to become coaches. It’s also a vehicle for personal healing and spiritual learning (Cynthia is proof - take it from her!). 

2) One of the most potent ways to get from where you are now to where you wanna’ be in the future is the power of proximity - and Ayurveda School is the place for that. This program is THE place to find genuine relationships with other women on the soul-spelunking journey or boss-babes running full-time wellness businesses. Guaranteed, you’ll meet someone who is doing what YOU want to be doing in the future if you seek those connections out. 💞

3) Ayurveda School isn’t an online course. It’s a living, breathing, connected community of women. It’s a feminine-form school where you’ll meet LIVE, face-to-face with luminary teachers and other inspired ladies like yourself every week, where you’ll make friends and biz connections that will last a lifetime. 

For my gals that already know you want to join us for our upcoming 2026 class - now is the time to register with the maximum savings (earlybird pricing = $500 off) plus a special love-gift, all the books you needed for class, on us ($200 value)!

Your inner child is like… wait, you’re being N Your inner child is like… wait, you’re being NICE to me now?? 😅⁠
⁠
Here’s the thing. If you don’t know where to start with giving your inner self a little more love, just start with presence.⁠
⁠
Presence is relationship gold. The ability to be present makes you a better friend, parent, lover and co-worker. It is also the channel through which we can achieve deeper levels of relationship (and yes, that includes our relationship with ourselves). As we are more present with ourselves, it becomes natural to be more present with others. And we all know how good it feels to be with someone who is deeply present with us.⁠
⁠
Try applying this practice to your little inner self today. 🫀
