According to Ayurveda, Kapha Dosha is naturally high during the transition from Winter to Spring, especially when the weather is cool and damp. Kapha dosha is one of the three fundamental energies in Ayurveda, representing stability, strength, and cohesion. It governs qualities like heaviness, coolness, and moistness in the body and mind. When Kapha is not balanced, it can lead to feelings of lethargy, heaviness, and congestion, both physically and emotionally.
The increase in Kapha at this time of year makes Kapha imbalances more common (ex. sinus congestion or feeling lethargic, heavy, and withdrawn)
During this time, it’s prudent to incorporate Kapha-pacification into our daily yoga practices, especially if we notice signs of Kapha imbalance.
