Dual-Dosha Types: Vata-Pitta, Pitta-Kapha and Vata-Kapha
Take any careful dosha assessment and the commonest result is not one tidy dosha but two scores sitting close together. That is not a muddle to be resolved. It is a dual dosha type, the most common kind of constitution there is, and single-dosha purity is the...
The Best Ayurveda Books for Self-Study
Ayurveda has been writing itself down for over two thousand years, so the reading list is not short. The good news is that a handful of modern books, most of them written between the 1980s and today by a small circle of teachers, will take you from complete beginner...
Prakriti vs Vikriti: Your Nature vs Your Now
Two Sanskrit words carry more practical weight in Ayurveda than almost any others. Prakriti is your nature: the constitution you were born with. Vikriti is your now: the state you are in this season, this month, today. Confuse the two and Ayurvedic advice turns into...
Health Counselor vs Practitioner vs Lifestyle Coach: Which Ayurveda Path Fits?
Three job titles circulate in Ayurveda: lifestyle coach, health counselor, practitioner. They get used so loosely that people routinely train for the wrong one. The differences are real, though. They are written into the field's US training standards, and they decide...
Ayurvedic Body Types: The 7 Constitutions Explained
Ask Ayurveda what type you are and it answers with unusual precision: one of seven. Three types led by a single dosha, three led by a pair, and one rare type with all three in balance. Your own Ayurvedic body type, called your prakriti, was set at the start of your...

Every family has one: the steady one, who sleeps deeply, stays calm in a crisis, keeps friends for decades and puts on weight from the same dinner that leaves everyone else unchanged. Ayurveda calls this pattern kapha, the dosha of earth and water. When kapha leads...
The Pitta Body Type: A Complete Guide
Some people run hot. They are hungry on schedule, sharp in an argument, organised without trying, and the first to roll up their sleeves when something needs deciding. Ayurveda calls this pattern pitta, the dosha of fire and water. When pitta leads your constitution,...
What Ayurveda Certification Costs (and What Practitioners Earn)
Two questions sit underneath almost every enquiry we get about training: what will certification actually cost me, and what could I realistically earn afterwards? Schools answer the first in detail, sometimes only once you email them, and tend to go quiet on the...
The Vata Body Type: A Complete Guide
Some people run light. They think quickly, move quickly, feel the cold before anyone else in the room, and can be ravenous at ten yet indifferent to lunch by one. Ayurveda has a name for this pattern: vata, the dosha of air and space. When vata leads your...
Ayurveda Certification: The Complete Guide (2026)
If you have started looking into ayurveda certification, you have probably noticed something odd. One school offers a certificate after a weekend workshop, another asks for three years and the price of a small car, and both call the result "certification". Neither is...
