⁠
Consider this your permission slip to slow down, listen to your body, honor your inner wisdom and maybe be a little more in tune with the rhythms of the season. ⁠
⁠
Because sometimes the most radical thing we can do is remember what women have known for centuries.⁠
⁠
And if you're feeling called to explore that ancient wisdom a little deeper, we'd love to gather with you. ⁠
⁠
Join Katie Silcox on October 27 at 11 AM ET for a FREE live workshop on Feminine-Form Ayurveda, where we'll explore a more intuitive, nourishing approach to caring for our bodies. 🤍⁠

                                                  Okay, I have to show you something we are all ridi Okay, I have to show you something we are all ridiculously proud of over here at The Shakti School. Check out our Ayurveda Wellness Coach Course Manual. ⁠✨️⁠
⁠
Over the years, our team and teachers have poured SO much love, research and practical Ayurveda wisdom into this book that I sometimes pick it up and think: OMG I wish I could take this course again for the first time.⁠
⁠
Inside you'll find seasonal guidance, Ayurveda (secret) formulas, herbs and home remedies, client-ready handouts, coaching tools, charts, food and lifestyle recommendations and the foundational teachings you'll return to again and again.⁠
⁠
This isn't a workbook you finish and stick on a shelf. It's your Ayurveda handbook for LIFE. We know this cuz’ one of our students wrote us 6 years later and saying she STILL pulls out her Level 1 manual when she needs guidance.⁠
⁠
I love that she’s using it SIX YEARS LATER. ⁠🥹⁠
⁠
That's exactly what I wanted when we created Level 1: not information that disappears when the course ends, but wisdom you can actually live with. ⁠
⁠
Dog-ear it. Highlight the heck out of it. Bring it into your kitchen. Pull it out when your digestion goes sideways. Reference it when the seasons change. Use it with your family. And someday, open it across the table from a client if that's your path. ⁠
⁠
Because Ayurveda isn't meant to live in your head. It's meant to live in your life. ⁠🌿⁠
⁠
And this beautiful manual is just ONE piece of everything you'll receive when you join us LIVE for Level 1.⁠
⁠
With love,⁠
Katie ⁠
⁠
P.S. By the end of Level 1, I want this thing looking loved, lived-in and USED. That's exactly what it's for. Mine is covered in tea and turmeric stains :-) ⁠

Ayurveda is often called the science of life, and at its heart, it's about learning to understand your unique nature, reconnect with your body's wisdom, and create more balance in your everyday life.⁠
⁠
And the beautiful thing? You don't need to know your dosha, have a perfect morning routine, or understand Sanskrit to begin.⁠
⁠
We've gathered some of our favorite starter resources to help you get started. Think of this as your Ayurveda starter kit, filled with free teachings, practical rituals and a little inspiration for your journey.⁠
⁠
At The Shakti School, we believe Ayurveda is so much more than a collection of wellness practices. It's a lifelong journey of getting to know yourself, honoring your unique nature, and learning to live in greater harmony with the world around you. ✨️⁠

                                                  In October, the air becomes cooler, drier and more In October, the air becomes cooler, drier and more mobile. You may begin to notice more anxious thoughts, dry skin, irregular digestion, disrupted sleep or feeling ungrounded in your body. We can balance these vata qualities with moisture, nourishing foods and grounding rhythms for our nervous systems. ⁠
⁠
Some of my favorite October foods:⁠
⁠
• Butternut squash, acorn squash and pumpkin are sweet, grounding and deeply nourishing for dry autumn tissues⁠
• Ginger kindles agni, supports circulation and helps keep digestion strong as temperatures drop⁠
• Mung beans are one of Ayurveda’s most digestible legumes, bringing nourishment without heaviness⁠
• Garlic offers warmth and stimulation, helping counter sluggish digestion and coldness⁠
• Cardamom gently supports digestion while bringing warmth without excessive heat⁠
• Oatmeal is heavy, soft and grounding, making it one of autumn’s most supportive breakfasts⁠
• Warm spiced milk nourishes ojas, supports the nervous system and invites deeper rest⁠
• Black pepper awakens digestion and helps the body absorb nutrients more efficiently⁠
• Cinnamon is warming, circulatory and especially supportive during cold, windy seasons⁠
• Cloves bring heat and stimulation while supporting digestion and respiratory wellness⁠
• Turmeric supports healthy inflammation response and keeps digestion moving well⁠
• Sweet potatoes are sweet, earthy and stabilizing for an overstimulated nervous system⁠
• Warming stews provide moisture, softness and sustained nourishment as vata rises⁠
• Soaked or sprouted nuts and seeds offer healthy fats and density, helping combat seasonal dryness⁠
• Root vegetables literally grow beneath the earth, carrying grounding qualities that help us feel more rooted too⁠
⁠
P.S. If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, you’re moving further into spring and rising pitta, so your body may be asking for lighter and more cooling support right now. 💦⁠

                                                  One of the biggest questions I get from women expl One of the biggest questions I get from women exploring our program is “What can I actually do with an Ayurvedic coaching certification? What’s the scope of a coaching practice?”⁠
⁠
Becoming a certified coach is absolutely a viable career path, and it can also enhance the offerings that you already have. 🌿⁠
⁠
With an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach certification, you can legally and ethically work with people as a coach and educator in so many ways, including:⁠

⁠
🧘🏽‍♀️ Teaching workshops in yoga studios, community spaces, retreat centers or online⁠
⁠
🌬️ Guiding people through nutrition education, daily routines, seasonal resets, meditation and nervous system support⁠
⁠
🥀 Supporting women with cycle awareness, womb wellness and feminine rhythm education⁠
⁠
🪐 Weaving Ayurveda into your existing work, whether it’s yoga, bodywork, coaching, energy work, movement or spiritual mentorship⁠
⁠
🗓️ Creating group programs, circles or educational offerings rooted in preventative care and self-healing⁠
⁠
💗 Using Ayurveda first and foremost for your own life, and letting your lived experience become your medicine⁠
⁠
Working as an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach is about teaching people how to live well, how to listen to their bodies and how to create daily practices that actually work in real life.⁠
⁠
And yes, when you go through our program you’ll also leave with real tools: a gorgeous training manual, client forms, starter business resources and a community of women walking this path with you.⁠
