The Week of November 9th: Vata Health Rx --- For Vata types, maybe this is what's happening: Your yoga class or morning run---the one that used to calm you down---is now making you MORE anxious instead of calmer. You finish your workout and instead of feeling centered, you feel jittery. Scattered. Your mind is racing even more than before.Your joints feel dry and creaky. Unstable. Like they need oil. You're sore for days after workouts that should be relatively gentle. And here's the confusing part---you're exhausted in the afternoons after morning workouts, but your sleep is actually WORSE on the days you exercise intensely. You lie there at night with your mind spinning, your body feeling restless and uncomfortable.You thought movement would help you feel calm. But it's doing the opposite.In this week's Vata Health Rx, integrative medicine physicians and Ayurvedic experts Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi explain why your mobile, rapid, cooling exercise---like running in cold air or fast-paced vinyasa yoga---is actually adding more movement and depletion to your already overmobile, overstimulated nervous system.This week, you'll get a grounding movement prescription that calms your scattered nervous system instead of amplifying it.Listen now to learn:Why Vata types struggle most with exercise in fall---and why mobile, rapid exercise makes your anxiety worseThe type of movement that actually grounds your nervous system: slow, deliberate, weight-bearing exercise in warm environmentsWhy routine and predictability in your exercise matters more for Vata than intensityYour Turn: Try the grounding movement practice this week and notice what happens to your anxiety, your sleep, that jittery feeling.
