Regulating your nervous system isn’t about feeli Regulating your nervous system isn’t about feeling calm 24/7.⁠
⁠
It’s about giving your nervous system accurate information about what’s happening right now, so it can respond appropriately instead of reacting from old, undigested experiences.⁠
⁠
We can support that process with the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, through what we eat, how we move, how we breathe and how we live out our daily rhythms.⁠
⁠
Vata is deeply tied to the nervous system And the biggest secret to grounding Vata? → We slow things down. ⁠
⁠
In our culture, peak Vata season lands right in the middle of the holiday season, exactly when we all have the most to do. So this is THE most important time to ground + regulate.⁠
⁠
🌬️ Comment SOMATIC to get my FREE class, Healing the Nervous System with Somatic Ayurveda to learn how to deeply ground and regulate in winter.
We’ve been taught to chase healing like an endle We’ve been taught to chase healing like an endless laundry list of ways to “fix” ourselves. 

But nervous system regulation doesn’t come from doing more…it comes from being with what’s here.

If you’ve been feeling amped, anxious or like your nervous system’s running on fumes, I FEEL YOU. 

And you’re not alone. 

But the truth is: your body was never meant to live in fight-or-flight all the time. 

What is more, have you ever noticed that you feel GUILTY about feeling out of whack? 

It’s like a double whammy to the soul (and the nervous system). 

Here’s what I want us all to remember: your nervous system isn’t broken.

It’s just overwhelmed. Overcooked. Overlooked. I know you, because I AM you. 

Here are a few new ways I’ve been helping myself calm down from the inside out:

1️⃣ 🌬 Low-belly breath and minerals in my water before coffee. Two minutes. Hands on your womb. Feel the exhale lengthen. Drink water BEFORE caffeine in the AM. 

2️⃣ 🌿 Warm and wet heals everything. Warm water, warm foods, warm embraces and warm words to yourself.

3️⃣ 💃 Micro-movement = macro-shift. Roll your shoulders. Circle your hips. Shake for 60 seconds. 

4️⃣ 🕯 Create a micro-altar. Light a candle. Put a sticky note on it. Whatever it takes to find moments of intention.

5️⃣ 💗 Replace self-fixing with LOVING the ever loving heck out of this incarnation. You don’t need another plan. You need presence and love dropping down into your flesh like HONEY. 

With love,
Katie

“Does your school teach the real theoretical fou “Does your school teach the real theoretical foundation and philosophy of Ayurveda? Or is it just focused on feminine embodiment?”⁠
⁠
Goddess, we get this question all the time. ⁠
⁠
And the real answer? ⁠
⁠
We teach BOTH. 💫 ⁠
⁠
We are deeply committed to feminine-form embodiment, but we also geek out on traditional Ayurveda, and our faculty are some of the best Ayurvedic practitioners in the world.⁠
⁠
In our feminine-form Ayurveda School, we start here: You are already whole, worthy and loved exactly as you are.⁠
⁠
From that foundation, we bow in reverence before the traditional science and art of Ayurvedic health - and we dive in deep (you’ll end the year knowing more Sanskrit than you ever thought was possible). 🧠⁠
⁠
And this is the thing: When it comes to masculine/feminine, it’s not either/or. ⁠
⁠
It’s both/and. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼⁠
⁠
And this belief is at the core of our entire yearlong curriculum.⁠
⁠
In Module 2: Theory, we dive into the foundational principles that make Ayurveda work:⁠
⁠
✔ Metabolics: How digestion, assimilation and elimination power your energy and health.⁠
⁠
✔ The Subdoshas: The subtypes of Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and how they influence everything from mood to digestion.⁠
⁠
✔ The Gunas: The qualities of nature (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas) that shape mind, body and spirit.⁠
⁠
✔ Dinacharya: Daily rhythms and routines to harmonize with your natural cycles.⁠
⁠
✔ The Seven Dhatus: The body’s tissues, their functions and what happens when they go out of balance.⁠
⁠
This is where feminine embodiment meets Ayurvedic mastery. You’ll leave with a deep understanding of the why behind Ayurveda, so your daily practices and coaching can be grounded in both embodied wisdom and science. 🌿⁠
