December Featured Practice Series – Balancing Vata Dosha with Sarah Platt Finger

A 3-part series on grounding and balancing Vata dosha, perfect for the holidays! 

The holidays are a time when the daily hubbub of life can feel even more hectic than usual. With all the preparations and events, it’s easy to slip out of balance, especially when it comes to Vata dosha. According to the science of Ayurveda, the Vata dosha is the biological force of nature that relates to the element of air. When Vata dosha is out of balance we find ourselves rushing from one thing to the next without being fully present, we might feel ungrounded and are easily distracted, and may have feelings of anxiety.

Bring your Vata dosha back into balance with this three-part series from ISHTA Yoga co-founder Sarah Platt Finger. These practices have been specially designed to help you find grounding, peace, and greater presence in each moment, so that you can enjoy the season with inner clarity and calm.
