Discover your Ayurvedic dosha (mindbody personality type) to thrive in work, love, and life.
 
The ancient Ayurvedic concept of dosha, or constitution—which describes a person’s particular physiological and psychological makeup—is like a roadmap to the body and mind. Knowing your dosha is key to unlocking the secrets of all areas of life, from aging and family dynamics, to career paths and interactions in the workplace, to relationships, including how people prefer to give and receive affection and the most effective ways to communicate with them. 
 
Most Ayurvedic practitioners know the three main doshas. Now The Seven Ways of Ayurveda explores, in depth, all seven dosha combinations to help you discover which fits you best:
  • Vata: Spontaneous, creative, open to change
  • Pitta: Intellectual, confident, passionate
  • Kapha: Protective, loving, compassionate
  • Vata-Pitta: Creative, agile, extreme
  • Pitta-Kapha: Strong, determined, healthy
  • Vata-Kapha: Changeable, anxious, conflicted
  • Tri-Dosha: Poised, harmonious, happy
The Seven Ways of Ayurveda also helps you develop an action plan based on your unique needs, outlining simple steps for self-evolution and ways you can be of greater support to the people around you. After all, self-awareness isn’t just important for self-care—it’s also a path of learning about yourself to better know and care for others.
