Your Dosha is Kapha!

If you are a KAPHAdominant and feeling out of balance, according to Ayurvedic Principles, too much earth has gathered in your mind, body and physical surroundings. As a result, you feel like you may be more sluggish or stuck. To gain more balance, the Kapha needs to bring more open space and fire into his/her physiology.
