For instance, I tend to have a Vata imbalance - too much air, space, and rapid movement, which leads to anxiety, digestive issues, dryness of organs and skin, and a flakey or spacy disposition.  Ayurveda teaches us to flow like water, stoke the fire when life gets stagnant, and to ground myself when I'm up to far in the clouds.  It's really very simple.  So, to ground my Vata self, I eat dense and nourishing foods, spend as much time in nature as possible with my feet on the earth, I burn palo santo and grounding incense like sandalwood, and I practice a slow, grounding, mindful sequence of yoga to calm my nervous system. 

Kali Yuga Yoga in East Nashville created an entire schedule of classes dedicated to each of the 3 doshas to empower their students to come back into balance.  If this winter/holiday season has you feeling dazed and confused, a kapha class may be just what you need.  Please come practice the art of stillness, attention, and grace as we connect with mother earth and her rhythm in this one hour class each Tuesday evening through May.
