In Ayurveda, Agni is more than your digestion. Ag In Ayurveda, Agni is more than your digestion.

Agni is the sacred fire that transforms what you take in from the outside world into vitality, clarity and wisdom.

When your Agni is strong, you don’t just break down food with ease - you metabolize emotions, challenges and life changes. You have the power to burn through confusion, soften your defenses and transform what’s stuck or hard into insight and freedom.

Old hurts lose their grip.
Confusion burns away, revealing truth.
The “stuck places” in your body and psyche soften, making space for more.

Agni is not just a physiological process…it’s foundational to our psychological and spiritual vitality.

When you tend your sacred fire, you feel more grounded and resilient in times of change.

You see clearly what needs to stay and what needs to be released.

It’s easier to connect to the part of you that is already whole and needs nothing added.

And here’s the beautiful paradox:

Tending Agni doesn’t have to be about doing more.

Removing what dims your inner flame (like outdated habits, stagnant emotions and the “shoulds” that never belonged to you) is one way that we can increase our agni-power.

This is the work we do at The Shakti School: this community is about holding you as you release what’s dimming your light and step into habits, spiritual practices and purpose-driven action that helps you burn brighter.

🪔  Are you ready to reawaken your inner fire?

I’ve been on a deep dive into natural hormone su I’ve been on a deep dive into natural hormone support—because your mood swings, sleepless nights and that weird bloaty rage aren’t just "you being crazy." 😬⁠
⁠
They’re signs your cool aunt hormone (aka progesterone) might be MIA.⁠
⁠
But here’s the kicker: PROGESTERONE is super sensitive.⁠
⁠
To stress. To blood sugar spikes. To liver congestion. To xenoestrogens. To basically being a modern woman. So, NO IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT YOUR HORMONES ARE WHACK. ⁠
⁠
So what’s a gal to do?⁠
⁠
Here’s what I’m loving lately to bring her back in:⁠
⁠
🌿 Liver love: Your liver is the queen of hormone metabolism. I’m loving warm lemon water, dandelion root tea, nettles, dill-for-days (!) beets, milk thistle and castor oil packs over the womb & liver. Plus dry brushing and self-abhyanga with cooling oils like coconut, monoi and honeysuckle. ⁠
⁠
🍳 Blood sugar balancing meals: Try more healthy fats, veggies and grassfed or vegetarian protein - like 80-90 grams a day! ⁠
⁠
🌻 Vitamin B6 + magnesium + zinc: These are the micronutrient fairy godmothers of your luteal phase. (Hello, pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate.) Also, do not skimp on the dates! ⁠
⁠
🌸 Shatavari, wild yam, maca and chasteberry (Vitex). These are our Ayurvedic and herbal allies for feminine hormone harmony. Make sure to check any contraindications, but I am mad about maca lately. ⁠
⁠
🧘🏽‍♀️ Less cortisol, more calm. Daily meditation, alternate nostril breathing and saying no to anything that isn’t a soul yes.⁠
⁠
The truth is, our hormonal systems are WISE.⁠
⁠
They are mirrors of our relationship with our inner feminine.⁠
⁠
This is exactly the kind of thing we go DEEP into in our Ayurveda School.⁠

When the pelvis is tight and weak, the entire neuromusculature and energy system is tight and weak.

Join us for this deep immersion on how you can get out of pelvis fight, flight, freeze cycles - deeply reconnecting with your body’s foundation  and reclaim your power—physically, emotionally and energetically.

This immersive workshop explores the pelvic floor as more than just a group of muscles—it’s the root of your stability, vitality and sacred feminine energy. Through a blend of movement, breathwork, education and guided meditations you’ll deepen your connection to this powerful center of  strength and intuition.

Whether you’re healing postpartum,  navigating cycles of fertility and peri/menopause, or simply seeking greater embodiment, Pelvic Alchemy offers a supportive space to release tension, cultivate awareness and invite transformation from the ground up.

What to expect:

• Gentle yoga-inspired floor work and Pilates-based movement for pelvic floor health
• Breathwork to release holding patterns and energize the root
• Anatomy education made accessible and empowering
• Guided meditation and visualization for deeply awakening awareness and the pelvic floor - allowing your entire nervous system to deeply REST AND RECEIVE

What you will leave with:

• A new awareness of your pelvic bowl — the seat of your feminine power, vitality and intuitive knowing.
• Deep somatic movement, fascia release and yogic postures specifically designed to unlock tension and stored emotion in the hips, sacrum and  womb space.
• Tantric & Ayurvedic Wisdom for the Feminine Body: an understanding of how ancient traditions view the pelvic region — as a portal to pleasure, physical health, power, creativity and deep  spiritual embodiment.
• Energetic Mapping of the Pelvis - the energetic  architecture of your pelvic floor, including chakra connections, nadis and the subtle body — helping you understand your body as an alchemical  temple.

Often we try to chase our soul purpose, trying to Often we try to chase our soul purpose, trying to pin it down with a job title, a passion project or a perfect 5 year plan. 

But true purpose doesn’t come from your career path. 

It emerges from your sankalpa—a vow whispered by your heart, anchored in the deepest part of your being.

A sankalpa (in other words, a heart vow) isn’t about what you want to achieve or manifest. it’s about who you came here to be, no matter what unfolds.

🌹 What a Sankalpa actually is (and what it’s not)

🌹 Why goals and vision boards fall short without clarity around your heart’s deepest intention

🌹 How to uncover the vow your soul is already holding deep within

🌹 The sacred role of grief, fear and anger on the path of aligning with your soul’s purpose

🌹 Why your unique Sankalpa holds the seed of true healing + service in the world

Want to discover your real purpose? It all starts with your sankalpa.
