December Focus: What's a Dosha?

Thank you for joining us in November for yoga practice and discussion of the psoas muscle. The psoas is the only muscle that connects the spine to the lower limbs. It is the bodies center for movement. This triangular shaped muscle is believed to be linked to emotions, and habitual patterns of holding and is located behind the solar plexus. With greater awareness of the psoas, we are able to move more freely and gracefully through life.

This December we will explore the three doshas. In Ayurvedic science theory, health exists when there is balance between the three bodily humors known as : Vata, Kapha, and Pitta.



This month we will explore dosha and it's ayurvedic base. We will begin to identify our own dominant dosha and how it relates to food, lifestyle and yoga.
