Vata

As the dosha comprised of air and ether that is responsible for movement and communication, there are so many beautiful qualities of vata dosha—we can thank vata for our inspiration, creativity, and spontaneity, among other gifts. Sometimes referred to as “the cheerleader of the universe,” the upbeat, cheerful attitude balanced vata brings can be contagious.

If this sounds familiar, don’t fret—Ayurveda offers ample resources to help you come back to balance.
