What Is Dosh In Yoga - #5490
I’ve been practicing yoga for several months now, and while exploring its connection with Ayurveda, I came across the concept of doshas. I’ve been trying to understand what is dosh in yoga, but it seems a little complicated to relate these concepts to my practice. Does what is dosh in yoga refer to the same doshas as in Ayurveda – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha? If so, how do these doshas influence a yoga practice? For example, I’ve noticed that I feel more balanced after certain poses, while others make me feel overstimulated or tired. Is this related to my dosha, and how can I use yoga to balance it? I’ve also read that specific asanas can target different doshas. Are there particular poses or sequences that are better for calming Vata, cooling Pitta, or energizing Kapha? If what is dosh in yoga is connected to balancing these energies, how do you tailor a practice to suit individual needs? Lastly, I’d like some advice on determining my dosha and incorporating it into my yoga routine. If anyone has insights into what is dosh in yoga and how it helps deepen the yoga practice, I’d love to learn more!
