The Wind (Vata) air + space The Earth (Kapha) earth + water The Fire (Pitta) fire + water What isyourdosha? Your Bod y What dosha rules your body? This quiz determines the predominant element or dosha in your body. Place an x next to the sentence that best describes you. If you simply cant decide, choose The Wind (Vata). The column with the highest number of xs is your dosha. Many people struggle with the body portion of the dosha quiz because they have been living out of balance for a very long time and dont really know the answers anymore. Dont worry. We will take this quiz again at the end of the program and you will better understand which element resonates with you after you come back to balance. Just like with the mind, you may 鍖nd that two or more elements describe you almost equally. All of the doshas are present in you body and its quite common to have an even split between two. Less common is to have the doshas split almost equally between all three, but it does happen.
