An evening flow for Vata-Pitta

The Vata-Pitta type ends the day carrying two burdens: the wired restlessness of Vata and the still-burning drive of Pitta. Sleep is hard to reach — the mind won't slow, the body won't cool. What this combination needs in the evening is a practice that both grounds and cools, gently.
Chandra Namaskar — the moon salutation — is exactly that flow. The cooling, receptive, lunar counterpart to the sun salutation, it moves the body enough to release the day's tension while calming rather than stimulating, preparing the Vata-Pitta system for the rest it struggles to find.
What happens in the class
The class flows through moon salutations and gentle, opening sequences at an unhurried, evening pace — cooling for Pitta, grounding for Vata. Lateral movements and hip openers release the day's holding, while lunar, cooling breath quietens the system. Nothing here builds heat or stimulation; everything winds down. The practice closes with a settling relaxation, leaving the body and mind genuinely ready for sleep.

Benefits

  • Releases the physical tension of a long day
