What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda, meaning “the science of life,” is a 5,000-year-old healing system from India that focuses on achieving harmony between the body, mind, and spirit. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach to wellness, Ayurveda teaches that each person has a unique constitution based on three primary doshas:
✅ Vata (Air & Space): Creative, energetic, but prone to anxiety and dryness.✅ Pitta (Fire & Water): Driven, intelligent, but prone to irritation and heat imbalance.✅ Kapha (Earth & Water): Grounded, nurturing, but can experience sluggishness and stagnation.
Each of us has all three doshas in varying proportions, but one (or two) tend to be dominant. Knowing your dosha helps you make choices that support balance—whether in your diet, daily routine, or self-care practices.
How to Find Your Dosha
Not sure what your dominant dosha is? Here are a few clues:
🔹 Vata types are naturally expressive, quick thinkers, and love movement but may struggle with dryness, anxiety, or feeling scattered. They thrive on warm, grounding foods and routines.
🔹 Pitta types are ambitious and goal-oriented with sharp intellects but may experience inflammation, frustration, or overheating. Cooling foods and relaxation practices bring balance.
🔹 Kapha types are steady, loyal, and compassionate but can feel lethargic or hold on to excess weight. Light, stimulating activities and spices help keep them in harmony.

How to Stay in Balance
Once you’ve identified your dominant dosha, here are simple ways to create balance:
🌿 For Vata: Prioritize warm, nourishing meals, grounding yoga practices, and consistent routines to reduce anxiety and dryness.🔥 For Pitta: Cool down with hydrating foods, calming breathwork, and time in nature to ease intensity and inflammation.🌎 For Kapha: Stay energized with invigorating movement, light foods, and warming spices like ginger and cinnamon.
By aligning your daily habits with your dosha, you’ll feel more energized, clear-headed, and at peace in your body.
