Ayurveda and Yoga Mind-body Types
Learn Your Mind-body Type Here
Kevala Health has provided a general mind-body type chart below with the common traits for each Dosha. All you need to do is add up how many traits you have in common with yourself for each Dosha. The one with the highest score is your main Mind-Body type. Some people may have a combination of two Doshas. Each type has its positives and negatives, and once you get to know yours, you can balance your body and mind. Knowing your main body-mind type can help you adapt to your yoga practice and everyday activities, and lead to a healthy balanced life.
Whichever Dosha you have the most characteristics in is your main Dosha. Once you know your mind-body type, you can focus on what you need to do to balance your body, mind, and life.
