WHAT IS KAPHA & HOW TO BRING IT BACK into BALANCE?<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Cormorant Garamond|500|||||||” text_text_color=”#1e1e1e” text_font_size=”24px” text_line_height=”1.6em” text_orientation=”center” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_fold=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Do you sometimes feel sluggish, lethargic, heavy and dull?<\/span>
It may be that you are experiencing a kapha imbalance.<\/span>
Kapha is one of the three doshas of Ayurveda.<\/span>
It\u2019s characteristics include, heavy, slow, dense, cold, wet and stable.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#c0c290″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”1px” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”15px||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s likely that you have elements of all three doshas in your Ayurvedic constitution, you are most likely to feel a kapha imbalance during the damp, cold and darker months of the year, a time when an energizing yoga asana practice may become essential to maintain a healthy balance.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The more positive aspects of earthy, watery kapha however, imply that you are likely calm and easy-going. While your laid-back temperament may support stability in your life, at times you may want to use your yoga practice<\/a><\/span> to energize and break free from patterns that no longer serve you.<\/p>\n

To keep kapha from going out of balance, you can awaken some agni (fire) in yourself by doing active yoga asanas. Energetically, these yoga poses will help to move things along, especially if you\u2019re feeling stuck and lethargic.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Continue reading to learn more about yoga poses to enliven and invigorate your body, mind, and spirit. These warming poses can stimulate circulation and relieve heaviness to leave you feeling energized and refreshed.<\/p>\n
