How to thrive in spring based on your dosha
Each dosha has unique qualities and energies depending on the time of year and each of the three doshas. Seasonal wisdom is something that just makes sense when you look through it from an Ayurvedic lens.
New to Ayurveda? Start here with learning about each of the three doshas.
Vata Dosha
- Stick to your routines & try not to multitask
- Dress in layers and cover your ears when outside on windy days
- Eat warm, cooked spiced foods
- Grounding activities throughout your day
- Incorporate some yin and restorative yoga in your practice
- Spend time in nature
- Reduce stimulation
Pitta Dosha
- Be mindful of how much warm spices you incorporate if you have a pitta imbalance
- Enjoy anything from the mint family
- Have a self-care practice you do daily
- Start reducing practices that overheat you internally and externally.
- Workouts can be more challenging
- Restorative and yin yoga are still helpful to find the pitta balance if workouts are intense.
Kapha Dosha
- Movement to start your day
- Right nostril breathing 10 breaths
- Enjoy lighter, easier to digest veggies
- Perform 5 Rounds of Sun Salutations
- Invite a friend to do morning walks together.
- Enjoy a cup of chai in the afternoon as a treat with warming spices.
- Start your day with kapalbhati
You will probably need a sprinkling of all three tips!
