This 6-week immersion blends classical Ayurveda, subtle body yoga, and Śākta Tantrik practice to offer a full-spectrum training for yoga teachers, Ayurvedic counselors, and healing arts practitioners. We explore how to apply Ayurvedic lifestyle tools, tongue/face reading, doshic logic, and yogic therapeutics within a ritual and spiritual framework informed by Śrī Vidyā and the worship of the Divine Feminine.

Students will learn how to:

  • Design Ayurveda-informed yoga classes rooted in śakti and subtle body energetics

  • Create client protocols that address prakṛti, vikṛti, season, and spiritual alignment

  • Weave mantra, mudrā, bhāvana (visualization), and yogic kriyā into Ayurvedic class design

  • Explore the Devi's path through your own sādhanā, with tools drawn from Śrī Vidyā Tantra

  • Use seasonal cleansing, dinacharya, prāṇāyāma, and restorative yoga as gateways to awakening
