The Vata dosha

Sometimes the small things we take for granted are the ones that matter the most, especially when it comes to our wellbeing. For instance, take a step back and look at the meaning of Vata Dosha – Vata loosely translates to moving like wind, while Dosha translates to the mind-body type.However, Vata Dosha represents the principle of motion’s force in both the body and mind. In a simple language, when you have a healthy dosha, you experience unimpeded, graceful and yet controlled movement within the body. But in the case of imbalance (an unhealthy dosha), these body movements become excessive, erratic, decreased or blocked.
