Ayurvedic Doshas Quiz

Picture
According to Ayurveda, doshas are the energy patterns that flow around our bodies, governing our thinking and behavior. There are three primary doshas – vata, pitta and kapha – and we are all born with all three of them. But it’s the dominance of one or two of these doshas that defines who we are. To enjoy a balanced mind, body and spirit, our unique dosha constitution needs to be in a state of equilibrium. When it isn’t, we may fall ill. Find out what yours is by completing this short dosha quiz.

Interested in learning more about Ayurveda? I recommend chopra.com. 
 
For a sense of the effects of each dosha I suggest this friendly article.  
 
Wondering what your primary dosha is so you can be healthier, experience more balance, feel better and choose the appropriate churna for you? Take this short quiz.
 
As I learn more I’ll incorporate some Ayurvedic aspects of Authentic Indian Cuisine in my classes.

I’m excited to be putting together the pieces and connecting the dots between this ancient healing modality and the cuisine I love and share with you!

Please be in touch with any questions about my offerings.

Information about my Authentic Indian Cooking classes are on this page and a list and description of my artesanal spice blends is here.
