"What if your adventure through life, from the carefree days of your childhood to the wisdom of your later years, isn't just a linear progression of one birthday after another but a series of distinct life stages? What if these stages of life, each with distinct lessons and defining qualities, shifts with age in more specific and meaningful ways than we usually recognize?"
"According to the ancient science of Ayurveda, each of us has a primary dosha, or constitution, that's based on a blend of vata, pitta, and kapha energies. Your dosha influences everything about your existence, whether skin type or sleep patterns. These three doshas also shape your experiences and needs throughout life."
Ayurvedic theory divides human life into successive stages, each dominated by a shifting dosha that shapes physical, mental, and emotional tendencies. Each person possesses a primary constitutional dosha formed by vata, pitta, and kapha, but life stages display dominant doshas that change with age. These stage-related doshas influence sleep, skin, temperament, needs, and behavior. Aligning daily habits, diet, and self-care with the predominant dosha of each stage reduces imbalance and supports wellbeing. Conscious alignment with stage-specific rhythms enables more ease in thought and feeling, improves balance, and helps navigate life transitions with greater awareness.
