Ayurvedic body typing offers one of the most elegant and practical frameworks for understanding health, personality, and lifelong balance. In this four-part course, K.P. Khalsa guides students through the classical Ayurvedic system of the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—revealing how these primal metabolic forces shape digestion, energy, emotions, relationships, work style, and long-term well-being. Students learn how to identify their constitutional blueprint, recognize imbalance patterns, and apply this knowledge to food, lifestyle, herbal support, communication, and daily decision-making. This course provides a clear, usable foundation for anyone wanting to live in greater alignment with their natural constitution.

Ayurveda teaches that health is not one-size-fits-all. Each person is born with a unique constitutional blueprint shaped by the balance of three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—which govern movement, metabolism, structure, and regulation throughout the body and mind. In this in-depth four-part course, K.P. Khalsa presents a practical, clinically grounded exploration of Ayurvedic body typing and how it can be used as a lifelong guide for health, relationships, work, and self-understanding.
Students begin by learning how the doshas function as dynamic metabolic forces rather than static labels. Vata governs movement, communication, and nervous system activity; Pitta governs digestion, transformation, and heat; Kapha governs structure, lubrication, and stability. Khalsa explains how these forces ebb and flow across seasons, life stages, daily routines, and emotional states—and how imbalance arises when lifestyle choices no longer match constitutional needs.
Each section of the course then focuses on one dosha in depth. Students explore characteristic traits, strengths, vulnerabilities, and common imbalance patterns for Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, along with practical strategies for restoring balance. Topics include diet selection, meal timing, sleep rhythms, work patterns, exercise tendencies, stress responses, communication styles, and herbal considerations appropriate to each constitutional type.
Rather than presenting rigid rules, the course emphasizes awareness, adaptability, and personalization. Students learn how constitutional knowledge can guide daily choices, improve relationships, support career alignment, and prevent chronic imbalance before it develops into disease. By the end of the series, participants gain a usable framework for understanding themselves and others with greater clarity, compassion, and effectiveness.
