Dosha Quiz

In Ayurveda, there are three primary body types: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. To determine your body type, answer the following questions. The body type quiz assesses your current body type or "deha prakriti." By using this questionnaire to guide your diet and lifestyle, you can bring balance to your current body type. Retake the quiz every six months and monitor your current body type, making shifts towards balance.

So grab a pen and some paper, or use your cell phone to help you take this very interesting quiz.
