All
body types, no matter what your natural Ayurvedic
constitution (prakriti), are vulnerable to
Vata derangement during the fall and winter seasons.
It can be helpful to adjust your lifestyle to balance
the Vata predominant in nature.
Like the cool, dry, and windy weather, the qualities
of Vata dosha are cold, airy, dry, rough and are characteristic
in the disorders associated with this time of year.
Many people experience dry skin, stiff joints, digestive
imbalances, an overactive mind and anxiety due to
an excess of Vata.
In
Ayurveda, we can create balance during this season
by cultivating warm, soft, oily, moist, smooth, heavy
and stable qualities within our food and lifestyle
choices. Staying warm, grounded and hydrated is essential
to balancing the Vata dosha and can be as easy as
drinking warming liquids like our yogi
tea.
Nutritionally, Vata can also be tamed by adding oils
(like ghee), fully cooked vegetables, milk (dairy,
soy, or almond), and grains to the diet. Vatas need
to keep warm and oiled. Massage is also a wonderful
way to soothe any dosha, so treat yourself to our
special, Very
Vata Balancing Treatment.

Vata
Season Lifestyle Tips
Slow Down!
Vatas
need grounding. If your Vata dosha is out-of-balance,
you my find yourself running around - both mentally
and physically. One of the best things you can do for
yourself is to slow down - or even stop.
Meditation, a slow
and gentle yoga practice, and mindful breathing
(pranayama) are all wonderful for relieving anxiety
and bringing about a calm and grounded disposition.
Try sitting down for regularly scheduled, mindful meals
of cooked vegetables and grains, instead of a dry power
bar while driving or working. Try for a solid, reliable
schedule during this season - keeping last-minute appointments
and errands to a minimum.
Remember, Vata is associated with air and ether and
therefore, during Vata season, we need slow, steady
actions to keep from flying away.
