Ayurveda and Long Sitting: How Inactivity Affects Vata
According to classical Ayurveda, Vata is associated with the elements of air and space and is characterised by qualities such as movement, lightness, dryness, coldness, subtlety and mobility. It is traditionally regarded as the principal Dosha responsible for initiating and regulating various forms of movement within the body, including respiration, muscular activity, sensory functions and the movement of substances through bodily systems.
