The New Year arrives quietly. Not as a demand to reinvent yourself overnight, but as an invitation—a pause between cycles. In yoga and Ayurveda, this threshold is sacred. It is a sandhi , a liminal space where one season exhales and another has not yet fully begun. Rather than rushing forward with rigid resolutions, this time asks for something deeper: reflection before action, rooting before rising, listening before doing.

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, teaches us about the balance of three main energies, or doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each dosha has specific traits and significantly influences our physical, mental, and emotional health. Kapha dosha, in particular, is recognized for its soothing and stabilizing qualities. However, when Kapha is out of balance, it can lead to issues like weight gain, fatigue, and congestion. Understanding the steps to balance Kapha dosha is
