Ayurveda begins with nature. The same building blocks that shape forests, rivers, flame, and sky also shape the body and mind.
Move through each element like a gallery—notice what it evokes. Then see how these forces combine into you.
Movement • Breath • Change
In nature: wind, shifting weather, the unseen current.
In the body: breath, circulation, nervous system, quick thought.
Transformation • Digestion • Clarity
In nature: sunlight, flame, heat—what changes one form into another.
In the body: metabolism, digestion, temperature, sharp perception.
Cohesion • Flow • Nourishment
In nature: rivers, rain, the pull toward connection.
In the body: fluids, lubrication, softness, emotional flow.
Structure • Stability • Endurance
In nature: mountains, soil, the steady foundation.
In the body: bones, tissue, strength, immunity, groundedness.
Space • Openness • Resonance
In nature: the sky, distance, silence—the space where everything happens.
In the body: channels, cavities, hearing, possibility.
The elements don’t stay separate. They combine into patterns—doshas—and those patterns shape you.
