Dosha Dolls
…from the ancient science of Ayurveda.
Helping our girls develop a positive self-esteem
According to the ancient science Ayurveda, you are born with your physical body type; your “dosha”, which aligns you with the elements in nature that determine your basic size, shape and attributes. Knowing this makes one comfortable and much more accepting of their body.
Dosha Dolls were created by the matriarch of a family of yogis Tess Chiodo. Tess along with her daughters Jackie and Emily are directors of Joyful Yoga, located in Ft. Myers and Bonita Springs, Florida. Mother of six, grandmother of seven, artist, yoga instructor and practitioner for over 33 years, Tess became interested in the Ayurvedic science in 1993 after hearing Dr. Deepak Chopra speak and has been a student since.
“The information one learns about how our physical bodies align with nature and how to stay in balance is invaluable. If I had access to this information when my children were small it could have eliminated many insecurities and disappointments about ones shape and size. The Doshas correspond with the elements in nature; Vata dosha, the most slender of the three body/mind types, controls movement and is composed of air and space.
Pitta dosha, the most muscular of the three body/mind types, controls metabolism and is composed of fire and water. Kapha dosha, the largest of the three body/mind types, controls structure and is composed of earth and water. If a little girl is a Kapha and she has grown up knowing this and would never expect to fit into a size 2, but she would know and love the possibility that she would be tall and shapely with beautiful large features and heavy, luxurious hair, with a calm and mellow personality. The little girl who is a Vata would never expect to be busty and muscular, but she would understand and love being petite, the girl who could eat anything and stay slim, her temperment lively and enthusiastic with a great imagination. The Pitta child would know and love her strong muscular body, radiant skin, her smart, courageous and bold personality. Many self esteem issues could be completely eliminated.”
“As now the grandchildren are beginning to arrive, I decided to create dolls that the little ones could relate to. The dolls; named after three of the daughters are the three Doshas; Vata, Pitta and Kapha. When you look at the dolls you see the obvious differences. Each comes dressed in a cute yoga pants and top from Joyful Yogawear and includes a mini yoga mat and booklet explaining the positive qualities of their Dosha, including three yoga poses that are excellent for keeping each body type in healthy balance.
“For our young girls to have an option to play with and carry around an image that is similar to their own instead of revering a high fashion doll of an unrealistic and unattainable female form is a wonderful thing! In this way, the doll becomes a personal and personalized talisman, where a child can identify with and embrace ones own dosha.” adds Tess.
