The Vata dosha – the Vata body type according to Ayurveda – represents the fundamental principles of movement, freedom, and change. It is composed of the ether (space) and air elements and is responsible for all dynamic processes in our body: from breathing, through blood circulation, to the transmission of nerve impulses.
