Most westerners know Ayurveda primarily through the concept of the three doshas: vata, pitta and kapha. This episode introduces the doshas, ayurveda’s three fundamental energies, as a gateway to living in your unique, bio-individual body. For each of the doshas, we will breakdown common symptoms of imbalance, its associated body type and personality, and the elements of nature that comprise it. By understanding the doshas, you can learn to adjust your diet, lifestyle, daily routines, exercise, and emotional patterning to better cope with and transform mental, emotional, and physical stress.
