What is Your Ayurvedic Type?

Friday January 21, 2005
Ayurveda is the science of longevity. Because it is part of the more mainstream practice of yoga, many celebrities, including Kate Moss, Sandra Bullock and Christy Turlington have been introduced to Ayurveda and have integrated aspects of the Ayurvedic lifestyle into their lives. In Ayurveda, the five elements of space, air, earth, fire and water make up everything in the universe including the human body. These elements come together to create three different constitutional types or doshas known as Vata, Pitta and Kapha.... Find out what your ayurvedic constitutional type is.
