🌿 Yoga Poses to Balance Each Dosha
In Ayurveda, the three doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — represent unique combinations of the five elements within us.
When our doshas are out of balance, we feel it — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Yoga helps restore harmony through intentional movement and breath.
