                              “Does your school teach the real theoretical fou “Does your school teach the real theoretical foundation and philosophy of Ayurveda? Or is it just focused on feminine embodiment?”⁠
⁠
Goddess, we get this question all the time. ⁠
⁠
And the real answer? ⁠
⁠
We teach BOTH. 💫 ⁠
⁠
We are deeply committed to feminine-form embodiment, but we also geek out on traditional Ayurveda, and our faculty are some of the best Ayurvedic practitioners in the world.⁠
⁠
In our feminine-form Ayurveda School, we start here: You are already whole, worthy and loved exactly as you are.⁠
⁠
From that foundation, we bow in reverence before the traditional science and art of Ayurvedic health - and we dive in deep (you’ll end the year knowing more Sanskrit than you ever thought was possible). 🧠⁠
⁠
And this is the thing: When it comes to masculine/feminine, it’s not either/or. ⁠
⁠
It’s both/and. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼⁠
⁠
And this belief is at the core of our entire yearlong curriculum.⁠
⁠
In Module 2: Theory, we dive into the foundational principles that make Ayurveda work:⁠
⁠
✔ Metabolics: How digestion, assimilation and elimination power your energy and health.⁠
⁠
✔ The Subdoshas: The subtypes of Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and how they influence everything from mood to digestion.⁠
⁠
✔ The Gunas: The qualities of nature (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas) that shape mind, body and spirit.⁠
⁠
✔ Dinacharya: Daily rhythms and routines to harmonize with your natural cycles.⁠
⁠
✔ The Seven Dhatus: The body’s tissues, their functions and what happens when they go out of balance.⁠
⁠
This is where feminine embodiment meets Ayurvedic mastery. You’ll leave with a deep understanding of the why behind Ayurveda, so your daily practices and coaching can be grounded in both embodied wisdom and science. 🌿⁠

                              This song hits differently now, doesn’t it?... 🤣

Fortunately Ayurveda offers us a way of understanding that the transition through menopause doesn’t have to be this way. We can approach perimenopause as a sacred rite of passage. 🥀

These are three key things Ayurveda teaches us about perimenopause:

1️⃣ It’s a natural Vata time, when the body’s energy moves inward for deep wisdom and renewal.

2️⃣ Hot flashes, mood swings and sleep changes are your body asking for grounding, deep nourishment and rest - not punishment or criticism.

3️⃣ When you cultivate ojas (vital energy) with warm food, herbs and slower living, this stage becomes an initiation into feminine power.

We teach all this (and so much more) inside our Divine Feminine Ayurvedic Wellness Coach Certification Training.

These are just some of the lessons you’ll learn in our yearlong embodied study of women’s health: 💫

✔ The effects of stress on women’s health
✔ The endocrine system and its role in women’s health
✔ Regulating Agni, removing Ama and building Ojas
✔ Womb care at every stage of a woman’s hormonal life
✔ The Ayurveda approach to thyroid and balancing hormones
✔ Deeper understanding of Ojas & Soma

We start in January 2026 and we’d love to have you. Ready to dive deeper?

                              What’s estrogen dominance, you ask?
 Simply pu What’s estrogen dominance, you ask?

Simply put: it’s when there’s too much estrogen and not enough progesterone in the body. It’s related to how we sleep, eat, relate and yes, stress out.

From an Ayurvedic lens, it’s what happens when our liver and digestion get overwhelmed, and the body’s natural rhythm of build and release gets backed up. Instead of flowing like a perfectly timed orchestra, our hormones get out of sync, leading us to feel heavy, chaotic and inflamed.

But here’s the good news: your body knows how to find balance again. 

Herbs, supplements, and most importantly, nervous system, sleep and lifestyle rituals can 
help your hormones re-harmonize naturally.

If you want to dive deeper, comment BALANCE and I’ll send you my full article: Estrogen Dominance: Signs You May Be Estrogen Dominant + What to Do About It. It’s a must-read if you’ve been wondering why you feel “off” or sensing your hormones need a reset.
