FAQs

Ayurveda translates as the science of life. Ayur=Life Veda=Sacred Wisdom. Ayurveda is the timeless wisdom tradition rooted in the Vedic culture of ancient India. For thousands of years, it has offered guidance on how to live in harmony with nature, cultivate vitality, and support the body’s innate capacity to heal.   

Doshas are the 3 primary energies or biological humors or forces that govern the body and mind. Derived from the 5 elements, they help explain everything from our physical characteristics and digestion to our emotions, how we handle stress, energy levels, and tendencies towards health imbalances.

Dosha actually translates to “That which can go out of balance.”  Vata is composed of space and air and governs all movements and the Nervous System. Pitta is composed of fire and water and governs all digestion, metabolism, and transformation.

Kapha is composed of earth and water and governs structure, stability, lubrication, and resilience.  Each person is born with a unique constitutional blueprint called Prakruti. Established at conception, Prakruti represents your natural balance of the 3 doshas and remains constant throughout one’s life. For example, if someone is predominantly Vata constitution, this is where they may have a tendency towards vata imbalance.

We are working to keep Vata happy and balanced as much as possible to enjoy the positive charistics Vata Vata has to offer.   

We all have all 3 doshas. The question is not “which dosha am I?” but rather “Which doshas are most prominent in my constitution, and which may currently be out of balance?”
