How do we maintain balance physically and mentally in order to have a stable foundation which will prevent dis-ease in the body and mind? We focus a lot on our food and it’s very important of course as food can be medicine or it can create an aggravation of the doshas and result in dis-ease.

However, we also need to look at our daily habits, our environment and behaviour as all of these influences have a particular doshic characteristic which can affect the doshas of Vata, Pitta & Kapha e.g.

• What time we go to bed
• What time we wake up
• What time we eat
• What & how we eat
• What time & how we exercise
• Our work environment
• Our home environment
• Our relationships
• Our daily activities
• What comes into our senses daily

All of this has an effect on our health, our immunity and our longevity. Colette explains how these activities affect your doshas and gives tips from Ayurveda on how to structure your day to maintain balance and prevent dis-ease in the body and mind....
