Dosha Love

Each dosha has their unique qualities and aspects about them. What dates, adventures, friend ideas and self-love each dosha would enjoy is different pending personality traits.

Let's dive into some basics with each dosha.

Vata Dosha

  • Creative gifts
  • Spontaneous Adventures
  • A date idea, anything that lets a vata be creative but has room to shift on a moments notice if something better comes up
  • Alone time so they can dream and let their creativity shine.
  • A good vata partner gives them space and grounds them in reality.

Pitta Dosha

  • Practical gifts
  • A well planned vacation
  • Alone time so they can tackle their to do list.
  • A date where they can learn a new skill.
  • A good partner for a pitta has a soft spot for an intense pitta to land, but also lets them lead.

Kapha Dosha

  • Thoughtful nourishing gifts.
  • A vacation with lots of rest and downtime.
  • Spending time with friends.
  • A date night idea, spend a night in cuddling on the couch & watching a movie.

Self-Love for each dosha

Vata Dosha- Lover of juggling multiple things at once. You might have a day of attending a yoga class, going to coffee or tea with a friend, next going for a walk with a friend and finishing the day with a spontaneous night out depending on their mood. 

Ways that will really nourish vatas

  • Abhyanga
  • Restorative yoga
  • Walks in nature
  • Have a cut off time for caffeine
  • Eating meals at the same times each day
  • Having a day a week for spontaneity or having room for spontaneity each day.

Pitta Dosha Self-Love Ideas

A pitta dosha would love to start their weekend day with a little work, a workout, a productive lunch meeting with a friend followed by a date night at the restaurant and theater tickets that they have had for months. 

 

What really nourishes a pitta dosha

  • A morning meditation and pranayama practice
  • A workout to expel some of their excess intensity.
  • Calming practices sprinkled into their day.
  • Self-care built into their day.
  • A day of fun with no set plans but a wide open day to explore.

Kapha Dosha Self-Love

A kapha dosha might sleep in to start their weekend, head to brunch with a friend, come back for a nap, and get into a movie marathon viewing on tv.

What actually nourishes kapha

  • Getting up at their regular weekday time
  • Starting the day with a fitness class with a friend
  • Enjoy a light lunch at home
  • Doing a yoga nidra practice after lunch.
  • Going out to dinner with a friend and playing pickleball at the local courts.

LEarn My Story

My mission is to help women learn how to slow down, tune in and connect to their inner wisdom using Movement, Mindfulness and Mother Nature as their guide.

Ayurveda transformed my life after the birth of my first son in 2016 and I have made it my life's work to help others learn the healing benefits of Ayurvedic medicine ever since!

I host a weekly podcast, Peaceful Power Podcast and have written two cyclical living books- Divine Body Wisdom and Ayurvedic Approach to Healing Your Menstrual Cycle. 

My other interests are playing tennis, watching the Hallmark Channel, and enjoying my morning cup of coffee. I also love exploring my favorite nature trail with my two boys and hubby. 

I've been an Ayurvedic Wellness counselor, 500 HR Yoga Teacher and Personal trainer since 2007.
