INTRODUCTION:

Have you ever wondered why some people thrive in cold climates while others like heat? Or why some diets are nothing but corresponding to other people? The answer is in the ancient Ayurvedic concept of Doshas -Vata, Pitta and Kpa. In the Rockholm Ayurveda Retreat in Kerala, understanding its dosha type is the first step to unlock your path for overall welfare.

What Are the Three Doshas?

In Ayurveda, the human body is governed by three biological energies which are known as Dosha. These energies combine in a unique proportion to each person's constitution or Prakrithi.
