Here’s your *Feminine-Form* Ayurveda winter guid Here’s your *Feminine-Form* Ayurveda winter guide for staying warm, radiant and lit up through the darkest months of the year. These practices are your go-tos: 🔥

🌶️ Fire cider to stoke immunity, circulation and digestion when cold damp weather weakens agni. 

🫖 Neti pot rinses. I mix warm water with ¼ teaspoon sea salt and one tiny drop of oregano essential oil to clear the sinuses, support lung health and prevent winter congestion.

☁️ Steam ceremony: Fill a pot with boiling water, add 3 drops eucalyptus essential oil, cover your head with a towel, and breathe deeply for 5–10 minutes, allowing emotion and congestion to gently release.

☀️ Vitamin C, D and triphala to support immunity, gut health and daily detox during low-light months.

🌿Tulsi, elderberry, licorice, turmeric and nettle teas to nourish immunity, soothe the nervous system and keep tissues hydrated.

🔴 Red light therapy to regulate the nervous system, lift mood and counteract seasonal depletion.

🎥 Extra sleep and genuinely funny movies to downshift cortisol and remind your body it’s safe (do not underestimate their power)!

🥩 Make lots of soups, broths, collagen and gelatin-rich meals to keep everything juicy in the vata season of cold and artificial heating systems! 

🍯 Manuka honey blends with turmeric, black pepper, cayenne and licorice to soothe the throat + provide support immunity.

🛁 Cycle epsom salt and sea salt baths. One night I do 2 cups epsom, the next I do 1 cup sea salt. Add a bit of your favorite body oil and essential oils for added glow!

🎁 Get excited about the gifts you will give, rather than get. Give to charity. 

🥂 Divest from excess alcohol and excess online spending. INVEST in visiting the sauna! 

👟 Boost your energy, move your lymph and stay connected to Mama Nature with gentle winter walks. 

❄️ Avoid raw, cold foods and icy drinks (like salads, cold smoothies, etc.!) 

🧣 Wear warming and bright colors and ditch black clothing! Invite more light with candles, ghee lamps or by making a fire.

Our yearlong Feminine-Form Ayurvedic Wellness Coach Training begins in just over three weeks. 👇🏼

Here’s your seasonal reminder to give yourself G Here’s your seasonal reminder to give yourself GRACE. This time of year can truly feel like a marathon for the soul. And that’s okay. Every time you notice your tenderness, and then give yourself even the tiniest bit of compassion, you are taking a step towards healing.

Sending infinite love to you and yours this holiday season. 🫀🙏🏼🌲🌟🕯

Ayurveda was always meant to live in your body, yo Ayurveda was always meant to live in your body, your kitchen, your relationships and your real, messy, modern life.⁠
⁠
At The Shakti School, we’re not here to turn you into a Sanskrit memorization machine or ask you to become some mythical “perfect” Ayurveda student. We’re here to help you feel this wisdom: in how you eat, sleep, work, love and regulate your nervous system in a world that runs on iced coffee and Instagram.⁠
⁠
This is a living, breathing experience of Ayurveda.⁠
⁠
Not a textbook. Not a performance. A practice.⁠
⁠
Whether you’ve been on a spiritual path for decades or you’re brand new and just know something needs to change, you belong here. Shakti School is about meeting yourself exactly where you are and letting ancient wisdom gently reshape your life in ways that feel liberating, nourishing and real.⁠
⁠
The original Ayurvedic teachings remind us that healing only works when it honors context. When it starts with compassion.⁠
⁠
If something in you feels that quiet nudge, we’d love to welcome you in.⁠
