A LITTLE "SIDE-TRIP" as we WHEEL on down LIFE'S PATH: "WHAT'S YOUR DOSHA?"

• According to ayurveda, the five master elements of space, air, fire, water, and earth make up everthing in the universe, including our bodies. Biological systems weave the elements into three primary patterns known as doshas. Doshas are mind-body principles that create our mental and physical characteristics.
  
  Vata dosha, woven from the elements of space and air, regulates movement and change in our minds and bodies. Pitta dosha, comprised of fire and water, governs digestion and metabolism. Kapha dosha, made from earth and water, maintains and protects the integrity of our mind and body. While we each have all three doshas, most people have one predominant dosha. 
  Understanding our dosha type gives us invaluable insight into the specific steps we can take to nurture our physical health and emotional well-being.
