Vata Season
Autumn is the classic Vata season. It is the time of year that embodies the attributes that characterize Vata dosha: dry, light, cold, rough, subtle, and mobile. Beginning to observe your environment from this qualitative perspective empowers you to respond to both daily and seasonal fluctuations in your local climate. The truth is that many of us adopt seasonally appropriate habits already, without even being conscious of doing so.

Vata Lifestyle Tips
DIET
Our diet is a powerful way to soothe Vata. Substantive, oily, nourishing foods that are high in protein, high in fat, brought to life with warming, stimulating spices, and served hot, will go a long way toward maintaining your internal reserves of moisture and keeping you grounded through the Vata season. You’ll also want to favor sweet, sour, and salty tastes.
SLEEP
Develop a sleep routine. Prepare for rest each day but turning off the TV or other stimulation. Try warm baths, quite music or mediation at bed time.
EXERCISE
Vata is easily aggravated by fast, mobile activities. Consider slow, gentle, strengthening forms of exercise. Walking, hiking, swimming, biking, and yoga are good choices, provided they are done at an appropriate level of intensity.
SELF-CARE
The most effective way to support vata is by establishing daily routine. Do the same things (wake up, exercise, eat meals, go to bed, etc.) at the same times each day. Take time in the morning to calm your nervous system, awaken your tissues, and ground your energy by massaging your skin with warm, organic sesame oil.
