A Cooling Yoga Practice for Balancing Pitta

According to yoga’s sister science, ayurveda, summer is the season of pitta dosha, composed of the elements of fire and water. Pitta is hot, sharp, light, liquid, and spreading in nature. We balance these qualities in an asana practice by inviting a sense of softness and effortless effort. To cool the body, this practice incorporates side bends and mindful twists, which help to release excess heat stored in the internal organs.
