Ep. 65 Why the Yoga Teacher Model Won’t Support THRIVING

I spent years working as a yoga teacher in the San Francisco Bay area. I was teaching upwards of 15 drop-in yoga classes a week but I wasn’t thriving.

In this episode you’ll hear:

~My experience teaching yoga in the Bay area

~The yoga industry today

~Yoga as a calling

~Why spirit workers need to get paid

~How yoga teachers get paid for classes

~How to thrive as a yoga teacher

~Less than 4 weeks to get into 2020 Ayurveda School! Join the next crew of courageous and wonderful women.

~If you have questions about Ayurveda School you book a call with Amaury or Lyndsay

Ep. 34 What is Feminine Form Yoga?

I started a conversation last year with the community about yoga and the rise of the feminine in the world. This episode is part of a larger series and conversation I want to have with you about what yoga is, what Shakti is and what the concept of “the feminine” is in relation to a yoga practice. You might want to start with Ep. 23 Why Your Yoga Practice May Need To Die before diving into this one.

In this episode I discuss:

~A reading from Wild Mercy by Mirabai Starr

~What is the Rising Feminine actually?

~Student LOVE!

~The longing in your heart to know who you are

~Yoga as an individual practice

~The medicine to an over bloated masculine

~Why we need to understand our primal biomechanics/nervous system

~That point just before death

~Yogic monks vs the feminine

~The control issue

~Lineage of Love Free Trial!

A sneak peek inside our Level 1 Feminine-Form Ayur A sneak peek inside our Level 1 Feminine-Form Ayurvedic Wellness Coach Certification which started this week. 🌙👆🏼⁠
⁠
Ayurveda is known as “the science of life,” but in feminine-form learning, it becomes something even more intimate: the study of your life. Your rhythms. Your nature. Your unique expression of vitality.⁠
⁠
This path isn’t about fitting yourself into a system. It’s about learning the patterns of nature so you can understand yourself on a deeply personal, even cellular level. No two journeys here are the same.⁠
⁠
If you’re longing for a way of learning that honors your individuality and lived experience, it’s not too late to join us. We are still welcoming our last-minute ladies in. 📚⚡️⁠
⁠
🌿 Comment AYURVEDASCHOOL (one word) for the link to join us. The first class awaits you.
The 2026 Shakti School Ayurveda Wellness Coaching The 2026 Shakti School Ayurveda Wellness Coaching Program started yesterday and the energy was electric. ⁠
⁠
Imagine being a part of a group of women ALL OVER THE WORLD who have a common intention: to bring more peace, health, radiance and purpose into their lives in 2026. ⁠
⁠
Imagine being a part of a group of women of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds who actually lift one another up with positive energy and celebrate their true essence and individuality. ⁠
⁠
Imagine learning from some of the smartest, heart-filled teachers and mentors in 2026 who understand that the student's intuitive knowing is the best teacher she will ever possess. ⁠
⁠
The first class is over, but it’s not too late…⁠
⁠
There’s still a spot that feels exactly your shape. And you can take last night's class immediately upon signing up! ⁠
⁠

⁠
Say yes to your calling. Join us now and dive into the first class of the year, ready and waiting for you now inside the classroom.
We are in the classroom in 1 hour for the official We are in the classroom in 1 hour for the official start of 2026 Shakti Ayurveda School.⁠
⁠
One of my favorite things about this spiritually-minded Ayurveda school is that we have no gurus and no perfect saints. But what we do have is an inner conviction that it is possible for a woman to live from a place of deep connection to something that is far sweeter, far more powerful and far wiser than we could ever possibly imagine with our conscious, limited mind. ⁠
This is the realm of the HER mystery. This is soul-level, deep-psyche living. ⁠
⁠
In 2026, we are calling in the imperfect, less-than-saintly women. We would love to support you in coming home to what may be a forgotten truth—that you are, in this moment now, deserving of living from your Soul. ⁠
⁠
It requires no effort, accolades or fancy manifesting techniques. ⁠
⁠
It doesn’t have to be earned. It is here now in abundance.⁠
⁠
No need for holy gurus or perfect saints. Just you and this moment. ⁠
⁠
This is your last chance to join us for a year of revolutionary, Feminine Form Ayurveda.⁠
⁠
Xo, ⁠
Katie and Team Shakti ⁠
⁠
💖 Comment AYURVEDASCHOOL to get in now. ⁠
🌝 If you have any questions, drop us a line at info@theshaktischool.com.
School starts today at 2 PM! Who’s coming? 🌊💓🙌🏻🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🐾🌙🌙👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏✨✨✨
When ladies first join our Ayurveda School, they a When ladies first join our Ayurveda School, they are excited to learn the herbs, philosophy, food, spices, oils, Ancient texts and modern tools for preventative holistic health. ⁠
⁠
But what they are often less aware of is how much this devotional kind of learning will make them laugh. And cry. Or how deeply human this path would feel.⁠
⁠
Ayurveda, at its best, is not stiff or solemn.⁠
⁠
It’s intimate.⁠
⁠
It’s awkward.⁠
⁠
It’s humbling.⁠
⁠
It meets you right where your life actually is.⁠
⁠
At Shakti Ayurveda School, we learn big things, yes. But we also:⁠
⁠
Laugh at ourselves when our icky patterns show up (again).⁠
⁠
Cry when our souls finally feel seen.⁠
⁠
Tell the truth about working with shadow emotions.⁠
⁠
Heal alongside women who can become friends for life.⁠
⁠
This work touches your digestion and your heart.⁠
⁠
Your nervous system and your relationships.⁠
⁠
Your purpose and your body image.⁠
⁠
Your past and your becoming.⁠
⁠
Some days you’ll be taking notes.⁠
⁠
Some days you’ll be having realizations you didn’t see coming.⁠
⁠
Some days you’ll laugh so hard you forget you were afraid to begin.⁠
⁠
That’s the magic.⁠
⁠
Ayurveda isn’t about becoming “better.”⁠
⁠
It’s about becoming more yourself - with more ease, humor and compassion along the way.⁠
⁠
And from the chief-cryer in charge. ⁠
⁠
I can promise you, we do it with love and sometimes Kleenex,⁠
⁠
Katie 💛
