Discover Your Mind-Body Composition

In Ayurveda, each of us has a mind-body type, known as a dosha. Think of a dosha as your individual blueprint that describes your personality, tendencies and physical nature.

Understanding your mind-body composition in the first instance, serves as a base from which to assess your physical, emotional and spiritual wellness. If you are in balance, do those things that are working. If you are out of balance however, a tailor made plan of Ayurvedic practices can be created specifically for you bringing you back into optimal health, well-being and happiness.

So how do you know your mind-body type?

Take this short Ayurvedic quiz to determine your doshic blend.

Select the option that best describes yourself for most of your life, not necessarily in this moment or situationally. If you’re having a hard time doing so, try selecting the option that best describes someone similar to you.

If you developed an illness in childhood or as an adult, think of how things were for you before that illness. If more than one quality is applicable in each characteristic, choose the one that applies the most
