Here is a general overview of the three Ayurvedic doshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha - including their elemental makeup, balanced and imbalanced traits, and how they relate to mind-body-spirit health:

Vata Dosha

Elemental Makeup: Air and ether

Vata governs movement in the mind and body.

Pitta Dosha

Elemental Makeup: Fire and water

Balanced: Focused, driven, warm, assertive, sharp intellect, and ambitious

and bossiness.

Pitta controls metabolism, digestion, and hormones.

Kapha Dosha

Imbalanced: Weight gain, lethargy, attachment, greed, congestion, diabetes, stagnation and depression

Kapha provides structure in the mind and body.

Understanding Our Doshas

We each contains a unique blend of all three doshas, with one or two usually being more predominant.

Understanding your makeup helps customize diet, lifestyle, herbs, and yoga practices to restore optimal balance between mind, body, and spirit.

When exploring Ayurveda, please come from a place of openness, curiosity and self-love. Use any insights gained to support your health and fulfillment, not judge yourself. Be patient and compassionate with your unique makeup.

This journey is about listening to your inner wisdom with gentleness and learning to make choices that help you thrive holistically. Ayurveda empowers you to do your best self.

Determining where you are coming from is the first step to determining where you need to go.

Don’t worry about analyzing the questions - just circle the ones that best apply to you & move right along.

I’m a firm believer in the magic of connection to oneself through prayer, daily rituals, and sacred ceremonies. This is what I teach – to heal yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally.
