Understanding yourself

Your body type

Each of us has a particular body type with characteristics that are helpful to understand. Ayurveda is an ancient whole-person system that uses the three doshas—Vata, Kapha, and Pitta—to describe patterns of balance in the body and mind.

The three doshas are present in everyone from conception. Their individual mix helps shape our natural constitution, much like primary colors combine to create different shades. When they are in balance, they support the body’s normal function; when they are out of balance, they can contribute to discomfort and disease.
