                                                  ✨ 3 NEW classes are officially coming to our 202 ✨ 3 NEW classes are officially coming to our 2026 Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Training that begins April 21st ✨⁠
⁠
We are so excited to share these new additions designed to help you not just learn Ayurveda… but truly apply, embody and live it.⁠
⁠
🌿 The Art of Chikitsa: Crafting Ayurvedic Care Protocols with Laurel Odom⁠
⁠
A foundational, confidence-building class where you’ll learn how to translate theory into real, living care protocols for common conditions. This is where the fear of “I know the theory but don’t know what to do” begins to dissolve so that you can support yourself and others with clarity and discernment.⁠
⁠
🔥 Ayurveda as the Original Biohack with Katie Silcox⁠
⁠
A bridge between ancient wisdom and modern science, exploring Ayurveda as a metabolic operating system. You’ll learn how agni, ama and ojas map onto metabolism, inflammation and nervous system health, and how to use rhythm, herbs and daily practices to restore energy and resilience.⁠
⁠
🪔 Light & Sound as the Future of Healing with Katie Silcox⁠
⁠
From mantra and frequency to sunlight and nervous system regulation, this class explores how light, sound, temperature and water act as powerful healing inputs. You’ll begin to understand healing beyond food, working with the subtle forces that shape vitality and coherence.⁠
⁠
If you’ve completed Level 1, Level 2 is where everything becomes integrated, embodied and clinically relevant. You’ll move from learning Ayurveda to actually practicing it. You’ll gain the confidence, skillset and lived understanding to support both your own healing and the healing of others in a deeply real way.⁠
⁠
🌿 Ready to explore Level 2? Book a call with one of our coaches—we’d love to connect with you. Comment LEVEL2 (one word) to connect with our team. We start in less than four weeks!⁠
⁠
Please note that these calls are available only to Level 1 graduates who are interested in exploring our Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Certification Training.
                                                  Your spring reset in a glass. 👆🏼 Kapha seas Your spring reset in a glass. 👆🏼

Kapha season might be making you feel a little damp or heavy, but this “Wake Me Up” juice is the perfect prescription - stimulating, warming and mobilizing to your system.

Ginger, turmeric and citrus stoke your agni (digestive fire), helping to clear stagnation and giving the body a little wake-up call. The bitterness, pungency and brightness of the ingredients cut through any sluggishness and bring an instant boost of clarity and energy. 🌿🔥

This juice is best if consumed on an empty stomach and away from other meals. Make sure to add enough ginger to keep it spicy!

✨ Calling all Level 1 Shakti School grads! Level 2 begins in just a few weeks and if your heart is feeling the nudge to deepen your education—and your soul’s evolution—we are inviting you back into the Shakti classroom. 

Our coaching team can answer any questions you have and support you in exploring if Level 2 is right for you.

🌿 Comment LEVEL2 (one word) to connect with our team.
                                                  Words from Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Trai Words from Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Training Program graduates… 🌿⁠
⁠
This is what happens when women step into the deeper layers of this work, where Ayurveda meets feminine embodiment, clinical understanding and real-life application. Level 2 is not just about learning more… it’s about becoming someone who can truly hold this wisdom for herself and others.⁠
⁠
Our students walk away with a profound connection to their bodies, their cycles and the rhythms of nature, while also gaining the tools to support others with confidence and clarity. ⁠
⁠
From herbs and nutrition to pregnancy, postpartum and the bridge between Western and Eastern medicine, this training is both deeply practical and deeply transformational.⁠
⁠
And perhaps most importantly… it reignites something. A spark. A sense of aliveness. A remembering of who you are and how you’re meant to serve. ⚡️⁠
⁠
There is no such thing as “too late,” nor “too old,” nor “too saturated” when it comes to this ancient wisdom that’s deeply needed. ⁠
⁠
The world needs embodied, grounded, heart-led practitioners now more than ever.⁠
⁠
✨ There are only four weeks until our 2026 Level 2 training begins on April 21st.⁠
⁠
☎️ If you are a Shakti School Level 1 graduate interested in exploring Level 2, we invite you to book a call with our team to learn more. ⁠

                                                  Kapha season is that late winter to early spring t Kapha season is that late winter to early spring transition when things start to melt… and sometimes we do too.💦 If you’re feeling a little heavier or slower, or feeling an urge to get things moving and flowing, you’re right on time! We can balance kapha heaviness with foods that lighten, warm and gently stimulate the system. 🌿⁠
⁠
Here are some of our favorite Kapha-balancing foods for spring:⁠
⁠
🧅 Onions + garlic → pungent, heating and help break up stagnation⁠
🫘 Split peas, mung beans, red lentils → light, drying and easy to digest⁠
🫒 Olive oil → a lighter fat that supports without weighing you down⁠
🌿 Fresh herbs → help brighten digestion and adds fresh, spring zest!⁠
🐟 Freshwater fish + wild salmon → clean protein that’s easier to metabolize than heavy meats⁠
🍯 Raw honey → naturally scraping (lekhana), helps reduce excess Kapha⁠
🌾 Amaranth + quinoa + barley + basmati → light, protein-rich grains that don’t create heaviness⁠
🥬 Cabbage + asparagus → bitter, astringent spring veggies that detox + de-bloat (all the greens this season!)⁠
🍇 Dried fruit → provides light sweetness when used in moderation⁠
🍗 Chicken → a lean, grounding protein without excess heaviness⁠
🍎 Apples or seasonal fruit → light, cleansing and supportive for digestion⁠
🥛 Goat milk (or lighter dairy) → easier to digest for kapha than heavier dairy options⁠
🌶️ Heating spices → ginger, turmeric, cumin & black pepper to stoke agni 🔥⁠
⁠
This is the season to eat a little lighter and support your digestion so your energy can come back online.⁠
⁠
🌎 Note: This guidance is for those in the Northern Hemisphere moving into spring. If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, you’ll want to follow a more Vata-balancing, warming and grounding approach as you move into fall.⁠

                                                  There’s only ONE MONTH until we come back togeth There’s only ONE MONTH until we come back together for our second year of feminine-form Ayurvedic studies! Swipe for the deepened feminine-form education you’ll be immersed into in Level 2. 👉🏼😍⁠
⁠
Level 2 is so special because it’s a much smaller group. This means more opportunity to get to know your cohort (aka Ayurveda best-gal-pals) and the teachers. A more intimate group really gives Level 2 a distinct feel that we absolutely love. ⁠
⁠
And of course, the opportunity to take your studies to the next level!⁠
⁠
We start April 21st – just one month from now!⁠
⁠
Want to chat with a graduate about their experience in the Level 2 program? Book a call with a Level 2 Ayurveda School graduate at the link in bio to find out if a second year of the program is aligned with your goals and dreams. ⁠
⁠
Can't wait to see you back in the Shakti School container. We start SO SOON.⁠

With love,⁠
