Your unique mind-body type
expresses your particular patterns of energy in the world.
By understanding your blend of physical, emotional, and
mental characteristics, a program can be tailored to optimize
your activities to achieve and maintain a vibrant, joyful
state of health, thereby creating a lifestyle that sustains
and nurtures your unique nature.
It is by the coordinated
interaction of the five elements: air, space, fire, water,
and earth, (the building blocks of nature responsible
for all physical existence), that the functions of creation
are sustained. The Dosha theory explains how the five
elements which make up physical creation dynamically combine
to control all processes within the human physiology.
From the five elements, the three Doshas are derived ~
Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
"From the
Ayurvedic perspective, human beings are not viewed as
mere thinking, physical machines, but rather as fields
of intelligence in dynamic exchange with the energy and
information of the environment. Health is a state of vibrant
balance in which all of the layers of one's life are integrated."
