I have seen this referred t several times, but I am unsure of what it is. Is this a body type? And how do you know what yours is?
your dosha refers to your body type, thin build, medium build, large build and also refers to your mental constition. I am sure someone else on here will be along shortly to describe in more detail. you can do a google search for it. I do think many people in our socioty would be served well by knowing their dosha and accepting it. Women who try to become skinnier then their dosha allows end up looking very unhealthy and their attempts will largely be in vain anyways. It may also help some people to better accept who they are mentally as well.

Hi yogini,
Dosha refers to the three types of body in Ayurveda medicine. Once you know your dosha, you can learn what kinds of foods, medicines, etc. are right for you. Ayurvedics even have certain yoga styles that are right for each body type. For instance, I am mostly pitta, my body runs very hot. I have a hard time in hot weather, hot yoga, and with foods that have been cooked in high heat. There are also types of e.o.s that work better for my body type, etc. There is a general test you can take on line :

You can also research it more on your own of course. I found it to be very helpful to understand things that work for me. It is not meant to run your life, but to help you understand your physical and mental self better.
