Vata Dosha — The Energy of Movement
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Root & Restore, An Ayurvedic Way of Life, I begin a deeper dive into the doshas by exploring Vata, the energy of movement in the body and mind.
Vata is made of the elements air and ether and governs things like breath, circulation, digestion, creativity, and our nervous system. When balanced, it brings inspiration, flexibility, and creativity. But when elevated, it can show up as anxiety, restlessness, digestive irregularity, and feeling scattered or overwhelmed.
In this episode I share how Vata influences our daily lives and simple ways we can begin restoring balance through digestion, rhythm, and lifestyle practices.
Because one of the greatest lessons Ayurveda continues to teach me is that healing begins when we learn to live in rhythm rather than resistance.
