Ayurveda literally means the ‘knowledge of life’. It is the world’s oldest wholistic healing system still in use today. The ancient principles of Ayurveda originated in India more than 5000 years ago. They have been passed down as a sacred oral tradition and within the Veda’s- the oldest scriptures known to humankind. The essence and practices of Ayurveda have no borders or boundaries. It is an art and science for all who wish to return to a state of internal and external harmony.
Go through the following checklist twice. To establish your prakruti (essential nature/ constitution from conception), initially check the boxes that relate to your long-term tendencies or the way that things have been most of your life. The 2nd time through, check the boxes that relate to your vikruti (current state). The checklist is merely a guide- its accuracy is determined by the objectiveness of the individual. It is best to see an Ayurvedic Consultant or Practitioner to get a clear and accurate assessment of both your prakruti and vikruti.

Each individual has a prakruti or inborn constitution, a unique composition of the three doshas. One’s current state is known as the vikruti or imbalance stemming from deviation from our innate nature. Once we establish our prakruti and vikruti, we can use the wisdom of Ayurveda to consciously make choices regarding food, lifestyle, yoga, exercise, career path, environment and every other aspect of our life to maintain balance, and therefore have the energy to fulfil our highest potential.

Hi! This checklist is to co-inside with the Intro to Ayurveda video offered which delves deeper into the basics of Ayurveda so that you can get an idea of your predominant dosha (vata=air+ether, pitta=fire+water, kapha= earth+water). Check it out and feel free to let me know if you have any further questions. Ayurveda is a beautiful art and science with such depth and intricacy, however I hope the video will offer you somewhere to start :)
