Vata, Pitta and Kapha – Which mind-body type is yours?

share this blog

The three Doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—are derived from the five elements. Also known as mind-body types, the doshas express unique blends of physical, emotional, and mental characteristics. In Ayurveda, health is defined as the dynamic state of balance between mind, body, and environment. You can achieve and maintain a vibrant and joyful state of health by identifying your mind-body type and creating a lifestyle that supports your unique nature.

Circle the description that matches you the most, make the sum and discover which type of Dosha you are… Once you know which one you are, read our Nutrition Advices Sheet corresponding to your Dosha.
