We begin by chanting the sacred Aum 3 times to invoke the Dosha Pitta. The Pitta dosha is associated primarily with the element of fire and also includes qualities of water. The fire element is more dominant than water. Pitta influences the endocrine, metabolic, and digestive systems. Pitta is characterized by heat, moistness, liquidity, sharpness, and sourness. Key Words to Remember for balancing Pitta are Cooling, Calming, and Moderation. The best Yoga asanas for pitta types are those that are calming and not overly heating. For today’s lesson, we will practice the Ustrasana (Camel Pose) which is very beneficial for Pitta types.
