I find myself very interested in Ayurveda and was really excited to see how well it can translate over to my physical therapy practice. With this I put together a simplified patient handout that could be used in any MTY clinic setting. This simplified cheat sheet can be used for both practitioners as their "go to" for a quick guide about each dosha and therapeutic prescription, as well as for the patient to take home to use as a guide for their own self care.

This directly impacted my application of MTY as Integrative & Lifestyle medicine as I was able to use this right away in my Ayurveda Workshop Series this past month. I provided each student with the appropriate handout for their dosha to guide them along the 5 week series I offered and allow them a better understanding for each class I took them through.
My original plan was to create a small single-page handout but what I found is there was way too much good information I did not want to leave out so I did have to extend this project to a front/back handout to ensure the language and suggestions were simplistic enough to be used by both practitioner and student. I did not include directions for marma massage and pranayama - this will be left to the practitioner to instruct the client/student themselves to ensure proper technique.
