According to Ayurvedic principles, there are three dosha types: kapha, pitta, and vata. The doshas correspond to the elements. Vata is air, pitta is fire and water, and kapha is earth and water. Most of us are dominated by 1 or (more often) 2 doshas though the ultimate goal is to balance all three in perfect harmony through lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, and meditation. To find out what your dosha type is, here is a fun little quiz offered by the Ayurveda Health Retreat in Alachua, Florida, a cute little town about 10 miles north of Gainesville. (I'm a pitta by the way with a little bit of vata thrown in.)
