The aim of this analysis is to determine your current Dosha (body type) known as Vikruti (meaning imbalance in sanskrit).
Please fill out the questionnaire below, basing your choices on what you observe as the most consistent over a long period of time - at least six to twelve months - and not just how you feel today.
If you feel that you have characteristics from more than one section , feel free to circle both, or even all three.
Once you have completed the questionnaire, add up the number of tick marks under Vata (Ectomorph), Pitta (Mesomorph) and Kapha (Endomorph) to discover your Vikruti Dosha.
Most of us will have one dosha predominant, a few will have two dossiers equal, and the odd few will have all three doshas in equal proportions.

Wake up at 6am or earlier, Kaphas love their sleep, but too much resting will aggravate your Dosha.
Kaphas respond best to vigorous and challenging workouts, but make them fun! Otherwise we might find number of excuses not to exercise. Hiking, long distance running are perfect to keep Kapha in balance.
Practise pranayama:
1. Bhastrika (also known as Bellows Breath) is a heating practice that burns accumulated toxins and stokes the inner fire—supporting proper digestion on all levels.
2. Kapalabhati (or Skull Shining Breath) tones the digestive organs and strengthens the core while bringing lightness and clarity to the mind.
Only eat once the feeling of hunger is achieved, Kaphas rarely get hungry and can easily survive on 2 meals a day. Include all spices in your food to help kindle the agni 🔥
Practice gratitude daily
Go for a jog to warm up the body in the morning
Exercise before 10am eceryday
Practice Vinyasa yoga or join hot yoga classes
Practice Asana or Pranayama before Meditation.
Clean out your closet every season
Skip nap time
Hike up a hill
Learn to say "NO" and not feel bad about it
Try something new often, eg Zumba
Eat in a pleasant and enjoyable environment
Eat your most substantial mean between 10am and 2pm
Have a soup or another very light meal at supper time
Journal or talk to a friend when upset
Vary your routine
Begin a crossword puzzle
Listen to fun dance music after work
Use bergamot, ylang ylang, peppermint, orange or lemon balm for self-massage.

5 Tips to keep your Agni Strong
5 Tips to keep your Agni Strong
Agni in Ayurveda is referred to the digestive fire. It’s important to keep it strong as it directly linked to the health of our body.
Here are some of the tips from Ayurveda to keep your digestive fire strong
1. Make your lunch the biggest meal of the day. Try to have you lunch 11am – 1pm.
2. Don’t eat heavy dinners as the digestive fire is the lowest at night. Try to have you dinner between 4-6pm.
3. Eat foods that grow at that time of year and in that season
4. Include warming spices like pepper, ginger, fresh green herbs and turmeric in your cooking. These spices will help your digestive system digest the meal.
5. Stick to regular meal times as your body response best to regular meals.
