The Vata Body

Hello, dreamer.

Are you a naturally thin, energetic babe with a tendency toward dry skin and hair?

Do you have cold hands and feet, and feel like you are just a little more sensitive (to everything!) than other people?

If so, you may have a Vata body.

In Ayurveda, Vata dosha is ruled by the air and ether elements: the lightest and most mobile of all the elements. These qualities manifest physically in both positive and negative ways.

in balance vata is:

• Slim, flexible, light and lithe

• Energetic

• Blessed with clear eyes and skin

Out of balance, vata can experience:

• Unhealthy weight loss or depletion

• Dry skin and hair

• Cold hands and feet

• Constipation, gas and bloating

• Irregular heartbeat or palpitations

• Tinnitus, vertigo, and even diseases of the nervous system like multiple sclerosis

life events and behaviors that can throw vata out of balance include:

• Times of great transition: big changes in your job, relationship, family, or living situation. Anything that rocks the boat really shakes up Vata!

• Weather that is cold, dry, or windy

• Irregular sleep schedule or staying up too late

• Irregular meal times, or missing meals

• Excess dry, crunchy, hard, or “snacky” foods

• Excess worry, fear, or isolation

natural strategies to restore balance for vata include:

• Grounding, nourishing, and warming the body

• Hydrating and moistening the body’s tissues

• Relaxing, slowing down, focusing, and anchoring the mind to the present moment

Living in alignment with your dosha is like unlocking your unique health code.
