Maharishi Ayurveda recommends exercising with the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) in mind.
If you need to keep Pitta balanced, it is essential that you avoid strain while exercising.
Don’t push yourself to your limit – exercise to about 50% - 80% of your ability.
Water sports and winter sports would be especially soothing and balancing for Pitta.
Signs of increasing Pitta to watch for include overheating and dehydration – rest, drink, and cool down gradually to prevent further imbalance in Pitta dosha.
