"Our anxiety comes from the desire to have things be different. There's going to be the day after the election. And the day after that. We need to be present to what is regardless of the outcome you want. My ancestors had to prepare themselves over and over again for moving toward a freedom that was nowhere in sight. We prepare for life as it unfolds, not our ideal image of it. That is literally the only path forward." — Rev. angel Kyodo williams

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,⁠
Katie and Team Shakti
I have a really good friend who once told me somet I have a really good friend who once told me something I will never forget. It pops into my head precisely during those moments when I feel like I am overwhelmed or have too many goals, dreams or just endless mundane items on my to-do list. 

It was this: The goal is to keep the goal the goal.

Seems simple, right? But it is profound precisely because in our day and age, we are BOMBARDED with info, and starving for wisdom. We are, as the youngsters say, suffering from “brain rot.” We tap into our deepest intuitions and then they fly out the door like a toddler on espresso at a birthday party. We get clarity and then we forget. 

Just pause. What are your 5 major life goals right now? Let me give you an example of mine. 

1. Eat clean and right daily. 
2. Meditate for 30 min. And pray to God through my intention to awaken in this life from anything that would keep me from my truest nature. 
3. Do my self-care recovery practices
4. Exercise. 
5. Serve others in an intentional way daily (a.k.a. Not just my selfish desires) 

What are yours?

I recommend writing them on a sticky note and plastering it to your bathroom mirror. Or put it on a card on your altar. 

🌷 See you in class? Level 2 Ayurvedic Health Counselor Online Certification Training begins in just a month and we’re inviting you in. 

With love,
Katie and Team Shakti
Have you ever felt like something going on in your Have you ever felt like something going on in your life was just, “too much to digest?” 

Our bodies respond not only to physical signals, but also to psychoemotional ones.

In Ayurveda, Agni - our metabolic fire and capacity to digest and assimilate food - is more than just physical. 🔥

Agni is the sacred fire that transforms what we take in. Yes that includes food, but it also speaks to our relationships, experiences, creative projects, and even the thoughts and ideas we take in.

When our agni is strong, we don’t just digest our food more smoothly… we metabolize our experiences, emotions, life challenges and the whole messy beautiful ride of being human with more grace and power.

When agni is thriving, the stuck places in our psyches (and yes, also our digestive systems!) begin to move again.

Healing isn’t just about what we eat. It’s about what we’re able to digest in life.

If you’re curious to learn more about tending this inner transformative fire, comment WISDOM and we’ll send you our free Divine Feminine Ayurveda mini-course. 🪔✨
Kapha season is here, sisters. That late winter/ea Kapha season is here, sisters. That late winter/early spring transition when the world starts to thaw, everything feels wet and our bodies can feel a little… slow, heavy or sleepy. ⁠
⁠
Kapha dosha is made of earth + water, which means the qualities of this season are cool, dense, damp and grounding. Early spring has the potential to melt our hearts - but if we’re not mindful, it can also leave us feeling foggy, unmotivated or stuck in the mud.⁠
⁠
The antidote? Here are some simple shifts. 👇🏼⁠
⁠
🌀 First: move your body more than you think you need to. Kapha loves momentum, heat and circulation.⁠
⁠
🥦 Second: eat lighter, spicier, warming foods (think ginger, greens, soups and less heavy dairy and sugar).⁠
⁠
💡 Third: invite novelty and inspiration into your life, because Kapha balance thrives on stimulation, creativity and fresh energy.⁠
⁠
If you’ve been feeling like you’re waking up from winter hibernation… this is your Ayurvedic roadmap back to clarity, lightness and vitality. 🌿⁠
⁠
Ready to dive deeper?⁠
⁠
💧 Comment RELEASE for my podcast episode Ep. 176 Kapha Mama! How to Release the Heavy to learn more about how to balance Kapha dosha.
You wanna’ know the super secret SIMPLE recipe f You wanna’ know the super secret SIMPLE recipe for a Kapha-balancing morning routine? 

⚡️ Move your body, build some heat and get the energy flowing. 💃🏻

Sometimes balancing the doshas is really that simple. Especially when it comes to early spring and balancing an excess of Kapha dosha in the atmosphere or your body.

Think light, heating and momentum. Kapha season loves movement, stimulation and a little sweat, because late winter and early spring can otherwise leave us feeling slow and foggy.

At The Shakti School we wholeheartedly believe that sometimes the most Ayurvedic thing you can do is dance it out. 😉

✨ Ready to go deeper? Calling all Shakti students who are ready to deepen in Ayurvedic theory and practice! Our Level 2 training begins April 21st. In Level 2, you’ll take your skills (and your healing) to a whole new level. 📚

🌿 And if you’re brand new, comment WISDOM and we’ll send you our free Divine Feminine Ayurveda mini-course to get started.
