Daily Dosha Schedule
Working with the Dosha Clock
Wake Before 6 AM
Rising during vata time (before 6 AM) brings lightness and clarity. Waking during kapha time (after 6 AM) can make the day feel heavy and sluggish.
Main Meal at Midday
Pitta governs digestion. Eating your largest meal between 10 AM and 2 PM when agni is strongest supports optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.
Sleep by 10 PM
Sleeping during kapha time (before 10 PM) supports deep, restful sleep. Staying awake past 10 PM activates pitta energy, making it harder to fall asleep.
Exercise in Kapha Time
Physical exercise is best during morning kapha time (6-10 AM). Kapha's stability provides endurance, and exercise counteracts kapha's heaviness.
