Questions | Please answer and bring any questions to our AYS Office Hours. We will discuss the homework together at that time.

• Please construct a few items you feel are important to ask a client in an AYS individual/private session.

• If you are the client, what data is important for the Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist to know when making a Viruti assessment?

• What are your “issues” as the client? What is the ONE question that you hope to be asked in your interview? 

What is the ONE question you are worried about asking  the client (you, in this case) due to fearof how a client might react or concern that you mightsimply feel  odd asking?

• What is your assessment of the most important issue that yoga/ayurveda can address for this client?

• What are the “top three” interventions you want to start with this client? 

What would your second tier of interventions be if this client were to return and these issues were not abated?

• Please consider the 6 tastes and list three breakfasts, three dinners, and three suppers you can offer to clients.
