What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a way of living in rhythm with nature, with your body and with yourself.

One of the world’s oldest healing systems rooted in ancient India over 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda comes from two Sanskrit words: ‘Ayur’ meaning life, and ‘Veda’ meaning knowledge. So really, it means ‘the knowledge of life.’

Not just life as in surviving but truly living. Fully, consciously with purpose and in aligned with your nature.

It teaches us to:

• Understand our body and mind’s unique needs
• Notice what throws us off balance
• Build simple daily rituals that support well-being
• Listen to our body before it gets too loud
• Align with nature’s rhythms and cycles—like seasons, food and sleep.

It’s like having a lifelong toolkit to return to balance, again and again.

Ayurveda sees nature as a teacher. From the seasons to your sleep patterns, from how you digest food to how you digest emotions, everything is connected. And your dosha is your personal map. Once you understand it, you start making choices that actually feel good for you.

What’s an Ayurvedic Mind-Body Type; Dosha?

In Ayurveda, we’re all made of the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether (space). These elements come together in the body as three main energies, called Doshas.

• Vata (Air + Ether): movement, creativity, lightness
• Pitta (Fire + Water): transformation, intensity, focus
• Kapha (Earth + Water): stability, calm, strength

Each of us has a unique blend of these energies, but usually, one or two are more dominant. That’s your mind-body type or Dosha.

Your Dosha influences how you think, feel, eat, digest, rest, and react, pretty much everything. When it’s in balance, you feel your best. When it’s out of balance, things feel not so clear and aligned. You might feel heavy, wired, anxious, sluggish, fiery or just not like yourself.

Getting to know your Dosha is like having a personal map. It helps you understand your natural tendencies, what supports your healt, and how to get back to balance when life pulls you off center.
