Prakruti Quiz - LearnWithMasters

Prakruti is the mind-body type that you were born with and it predicts your mind-body tendencies.
You’re a unique blend of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—and you have been since before you were born. All three doshas are present in everyone to some degree, but usually one or two predominates.

This quiz is intended as a tool for you to make lifestyle choices to honor your personal combination of the three doshas and to bring yourself back to your essential nature—your true balance. When you’re in balance, you feel healthy, energetic, and happy. To find your current state or areas needing balance – take the Vikruti Quiz
