When the clock says it’s time to leave but your When the clock says it’s time to leave but your inner Vata goddess can’t skip the song that just came on. 🤷🏼‍♀️

We know that Vata is the dosha of movement, creativity and spontaneity... but it can also be the dosha of always-being-late ‘cause your getting ready routine just turned into a full-blown mirror performance. 💃🏽🌀
We all have Pitta dosha in our constitution, but s We all have Pitta dosha in our constitution, but some of us have a bit more “fire” inside. 🔥⁠
⁠
It’s important to get to know the qualities of Pitta dosha—especially if you live in the Northern Hemisphere—because as we move into summer, Pitta will be on the rise. The macrocosm of the seasons and the microcosm of our bodies are closely interrelated, so when the fire element increases in the external environment, it requires that we counterbalance this excess heat with our food and lifestyle decisions. If you’re a Pitta type in a hot climate, you may be especially prone to becoming “hot-headed” or inflamed as we move into summer! ⁠
⁠
In our year-long Ayurveda certification program, you’ll learn Ayurvedic wisdom for identifying the doshas, gain insight into your own constitution and develop the expertise to help others find balance. ⁠
