In Ayurveda, true well-being is rooted in balance. Every individual is made up of three vital energies, or doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These doshas govern every biological, psychological, and emotional function of our being. When your energies are balanced, your body thrives and flourishes. When they are out of balance, dis-ease can occur, including challenges with conception.
At Aatulya Yoga, we deeply honour this ancient wisdom. We have seen firsthand how aligning the doshas can create profound shifts in fertility and overall wellness. By nurturing balance through movement, breathwork, and mindfulness, we can open the door to new life, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too.
How the Doshas Influence Conception
Think of your body as a garden, where new life can take root and flourish. For this garden to thrive, the soil must be rich, the climate nurturing, and the environment just right.
In the same way, the energies of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha create the internal environment where conception blossoms. When these energies are balanced, everything within you works in harmony — cycles are regular, hormones find their rhythm, and emotions flow gently. When they fall out of balance, disharmony can make the journey to parenthood feel more challenging.
At Aatulya Yoga, we hold space for this delicate dance, blending movement, breath, and mindfulness to restore the balance that nature intended.
Vata and Fertility: Calming the Wind
Signs of Vata Imbalance
When Vata is disturbed, it often leads to:
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Anxiety and overthinking
- Dryness in the body, including reproductive tissues
- Difficulty in embryo implantation
How to Balance Vata for Conception
At Aatulya Yoga, we encourage grounding practices for those with elevated Vata. In our Fertility Yoga workshops, we gently guide you through slow, mindful movements, restorative poses, and breathwork that nourishes both body and mind.
Simple practices to balance Vata:
- We encourage you to prioritise warm, cooked meals and avoid cold, raw meals.
- Establish a regular daily routine to soothe the nervous system.
- Practice gentle, grounding yoga sequences.
- Embrace practices like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) that can bring a deep sense of calm and help restore harmony within.
We emphasise creating a sense of rootedness — physically, mentally, and emotionally — allowing the body to feel safe enough to welcome new life.
Pitta and Fertility: Cooling the Fire
Signs of Pitta Imbalance
An aggravated Pitta may manifest as:
- Hormonal imbalances
- Inflammation in the reproductive organs
- Frustration, irritability, or intense emotional swings
- Overly intense exercise routines leading to exhaustion
How to Balance Pitta for Conception
Our approach at Aatulya Yoga is to bring in the element of cooling and soothing for fiery Pittas. Fertility is nourished when the internal heat is balanced and emotions are harmonised.
Supportive practices include:
- Cooling breathwork like Sheetali Pranayama.
- Restorative yoga focuses on heart-opening and hip-opening postures.
- Meditation practices to calm the mind and soften internal heat.
- Choosing a diet rich in cooling, sweet, and hydrating foods like cucumber, mint, and coconut.
Through mindful lifestyle changes and conscious yoga practice, we help those with dominant Pitta dosha create a nurturing, receptive environment for conception.
Kapha and Fertility: Awakening the Flow
Signs of Kapha Imbalance
When Kapha energy becomes unbalanced, it may lead to:
- Heaviness and sluggishness in the body
- Weight gain impacts hormonal health
- Emotional lethargy or depression
- Excess mucus and congestion in the reproductive system
How to Balance Kapha for Conception
At Aatulya Yoga, we encourage Kapha-dominant individuals to gently stimulate circulation and detoxification while maintaining emotional upliftment.
Key strategies include:
- Dynamic, flowing yoga sequences to stimulate energy.
- Uplifting pranayama like Kapalabhati (skull shining breath).
- A diet filled with light, warm, and spicy foods can help ignite your digestive and boost your metabolism.
- Daily self-massage (abhyanga) with warming oils.
Our Fertility Yoga sessions carefully integrate these practices to energise Kapha while maintaining emotional stability, helping to clear physical and mental blockages on the path to parenthood.
Why Emotional Balance Matters So Deeply
We often remind our students: your emotions live in your body, too. Stress, fear, and sadness are not just thoughts — they shape your chemistry, your cycles, and your ability to receive life.
At Aatulya Yoga, we weave in mindfulness and meditation into every Fertility Yoga session. We teach not just how to move the body, but how to hold the heart—with tenderness, patience, and unwavering hope. When you feel safe, seen, and supported, your whole being opens to new possibilities.
