This is your invitation to slow down and come back This is your invitation to slow down and come back to yourself. ✨⁠
⁠
This spring cleanse is a week carved out just for you… to feel, to heal, to let go, to deeply nourish and restore.⁠
⁠
This cleanse is for the ones who are always holding everything and everyone else, and are ready to create a little space for their own body, their own rhythm and their own breath.⁠
⁠
An Ayurvedic Cleanse isn’t about deprivation. It’s about true nourishment… the kind you can feel in your digestion, your energy, your mood and your heart.⁠
⁠
You’re invited to join us May 4–8 for a 5-Day Ayurvedic Spring Cleanse & Gut Reset guided by Charlotte Oddi, Ayurvedic Health Counselor and Shakti Ayurveda School graduate. This gentle, supportive experience is designed to help you reset digestion, lighten what’s been building and reconnect with your natural rhythm.⁠
⁠
🌿 Included with registration:⁠
⁠
• 3 live Zoom calls (Kickoff on Saturday the 2nd, mid-week call on Wednesday the 6th, and Closing Call on Saturday the 9th, all taking place at 12pm Eastern US Time)⁠
• Cleanse 101 Class to learn more about what Ayurvedic cleansing is (ready for you to watch in the classroom as soon as you sign up!)⁠
• Private cleanse community⁠
• Detailed Cleanse Guide + recipe book⁠
• 1 year access to recordings⁠
⁠
Live calls are recorded, so you can still participate if you can’t attend live.⁠
⁠
If this is calling to you, comment CLEANSE INFO for the link to join us. 💛⁠
Level 2 is an invitation to step into your own inn Level 2 is an invitation to step into your own inner authority. To stop approaching Ayurveda as something outside of you… and begin to BE it.⁠
⁠
There’s this idea that the flesh becomes the poem, that your embodiment holds the teachings. ⁠
⁠
Your life becomes the expression of what you’ve learned.⁠
⁠
It’s not about getting it perfect. It’s about letting it live through you.⁠
⁠
The second class of the year is in session today at 2pm US Eastern Time, and it’s not too late to join us. ✨
Feminine-form Ayurveda is about connecting with yo Feminine-form Ayurveda is about connecting with your own Inner Wisdom.

You are the only authority on your mental, spiritual and emotional well-being. Ayurveda provides a beautiful and wise roadmap for understanding and navigating reality. 

But it’s ultimately up to us to take this beautiful map, embody its wisdom, internalize it and channel it into our modern, unique, individual lives.
The principle of the feminine encourages us to trust the direct experience of our bodies.

To listen to our own intuition and follow our hearts as our ultimate inner guide and healer.

Wishing you a beautiful weekend. 🌹🌸🌴🌼🐚
Your body, your mind, your spirit… they have nev Your body, your mind, your spirit… they have never been separate. We have only been conceiving of them as separate for a very short time, and only in certain cultures. ⁠
⁠
This is the real essence of Level 2: it’s about stepping into a river that’s been flowing for thousands of years. A lineage of people who understood that our LIFESTYLES are where physical & spiritual health began. 🌊🕯️🌿⁠
⁠
Level 2 is about becoming the one who has embodied the teachings. Not just learned them, but lived them.⁠
⁠
Class just began this Tuesday and the opening ceremony was so special. It’s not too late to join us. Sneak into our 2026 Level 2 cohort if you feel the nudge. ✨
Okay, real talk…⁠ ⁠ Who else is feeling a li Okay, real talk…⁠
⁠
Who else is feeling a little sluggish, foggy, bloated, heavy, or just… meh lately?⁠
⁠
Maybe your body feels slower. Your digestion a little off. Your energy not quite where you want it to be. Maybe your routines slipped, your cravings got louder and your nervous system feels like it’s been holding a lot.⁠
⁠
If that’s you, you’re not alone. ⁠
⁠
In this season, everything in nature begins to melt, move and clear. What has built up over winter, physically and emotionally, starts to loosen. The body naturally wants to lighten. To release. To begin again.⁠
⁠
But most of us don’t give ourselves the space to actually let that happen.⁠
⁠
We push through, stay busy and override what we’re feeling. And that heaviness… just lingers.⁠
⁠
This is your invitation to do something different.⁠
⁠
To pause. Reset. Create space for your body to come back into balance.⁠
⁠
To feel like yourself again. ⁠
⁠
You’re invited to join us May 4–8 for a 5-Day Ayurvedic Spring Cleanse & Gut Reset, guided by Shakti Ayurveda School graduate, Ayurvedic Health Counselor and wellness guide Charlotte Oddi. This is a gentle, supportive experience designed to help you clear out what’s been building and reconnect with your natural rhythm.⁠
⁠
We’ll begin with a Kickoff Call on May 2 to walk you through everything and set you up for success. The Active Cleansing Phase runs May 4–8, followed by a Closing Call on May 9 to help you integrate and carry the benefits forward.⁠
⁠
We’re also offering an optional, Complimentary 45-minute Cleanse 101 Class on April 27th if you want to learn more about Ayurvedic cleansing before diving in.⁠
⁠
Can’t make it live? Don’t worry! All calls will be recorded and available to rewatch. ⁠
