Yoga – Pitta Person

Choosing A style Of Yoga Fit For You:
Achieving Balance:

Pitta Person: Pitta people are ruled by Fire, therefore such people radiate energy like a sun and have a healthy appetite but rarely become overweight. They are usually blessed with soft hair, neat noses and small chins, and may have numerous beauty spots in the form of moles and freckles. Though they’re likely to have combination skin – with an oilier T-zone of forehead, nose and mouth – as long as the pitta remains in balance the skin should be neither too dry nor too oily, but smooth and warm to the touch. Pittas often have warm, coppery skin tones. A competitive pitta sports person maybe way ahead of the field, but strangely unsatisfied by his / her achievement. Working up a daily sweat is just pouring fuel on their fiery nature. And it can be hard to persuade a relaxed kapha that exercise is a good thing when she feels fine without it.

Your competitive instincts lead you towards races and sports, but you need to avoid overheating, whether from exertion, a hot room or the midday sun. You could benefit from all yoga styles that increase flexibility without making you sweat. Concentrate on lengthening your muscles or easing gently into a deeper stretch without force or jerky movements, as in the yoga of Vanda Scaravelli. Working with a partner could help develop your co-operative instincts. The gentle routines of Dru or Sivananda yoga will promote feelings of peace that you may not have known for some time. Swimming is ideal for your hot-blooded nature: the water helps balance your energies while you focus on your own steady progress. Cold-climate holidays give you a chance to enjoy skiing or snowboarding. Day to day, you need a moderate amount of exercise, with long walks providing an easy option.
