Vatas tend to have a narrow frame, are either very tall or very short, and are typically very thin. Characteristically Vata skin tends to be dry, cold, and rough, although it tans easily and rarely burns. The secondary representation in the Kapha dosha influences Vata-Kaphas to be stoic, calm, and sensual. Or they may sometimes become lethargic by excessive as well as subconscious intake of food. When this happens, it can be traced back to the influence of their Kapha dosha. When their Kapha dosha is in balance, they will find that they are more calm, forgiving, and contemplative. Their Kapha influence brings out a potential for being a nurturing force in the lives of those around them and for the planet at large.
