Ayurvedic schedule with times and activities aligned to each dosha:

🌅 6 a.m. – 10 a.m. | Kapha Time
The morning hours are ruled by Kapha, which has a slower, grounding energy. This is the ideal time to awaken the body with energising activities.

•   6:00 a.m.: Wake up before 6 a.m. to harness the light energy of Vata time for mental clarity.
•   6:30 a.m.: Engage in stimulating exercise (like yoga or a brisk walk) to counterbalance Kapha’s heaviness.
•   7:30 a.m.: Light, warm breakfast to fuel your day without adding sluggishness.

🌞 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. | Pitta Time
This midday period is dominated by Pitta, the energy of transformation and digestion, making it perfect for productive work and the largest meal of the day.

•   10:00 a.m.: Dive into focused, demanding tasks that require concentration.
•   12:00 p.m.: Lunch should be the day’s main meal, nourishing and balanced to support strong digestion during Pitta time.
•   1:00 p.m.: Brief walk or fresh air to stay energised and clear-headed.

🌅 2 p.m. – 6 p.m. | Vata Time
Afternoon brings the light, creative energy of Vata, ideal for brainstorming, creative tasks, and winding down.

•   3:00 p.m.: Creative or collaborative work to leverage Vata’s imaginative energy.
•   4:30 p.m.: Gentle exercise, such as a restorative yoga session, to keep energy flowing without overstimulation.
•   5:30 p.m.: Light snack if needed to maintain balanced energy.

🌙 6 p.m. – 10 p.m. | Kapha Time
Evening Kapha time encourages grounding and relaxation, perfect for unwinding and preparing for restful sleep.

•   6:30 p.m.: Enjoy a light, easy-to-digest dinner.
•   8:00 p.m.: Engage in calming activities, like reading, journaling, or meditation.
•   9:30 p.m.: Bedtime routine—disconnect from screens and let the body prepare for rest.
•   10:00 p.m.: Aim to be in bed by 10 p.m. to allow the body to rejuvenate during the upcoming Pitta hours.

Following a dosha-aligned schedule supports your body’s natural rhythms and helps cultivate balance, energy, and clarity throughout the day.
