  • Core Ayurvedic principles to consider when choosing an exercise program:

    •  Strength and stamina (bala)

    • Digestive fire (agni)

    • Vitality (ojas)

    • Season (ritu)

    • Age (jara)

    • Constitution (prakriti)

    • Current state of health (vikriti)

  • Best exercises for vata, pitta and kapha.
