Kayko did an exceptional job at delivering a clear, complete, and purposeful case study. She introduced her client (KKO) & her client's primary objective for yoga therapy (improve respiratory health). She included health background information (ie. client developing mycrobacterium avium complex in 2015) and her client's motivation for healing (ie. joy in family, hobbies, friendships).

Next Kayko provided a thoughtful assessment across the 5 Kosha layers. For example, she assessed her client's physical ability to practice yoga postures, her ability to hold & retrain breath (baseline measurement), her energy level, her client's thoughts & emotions (stress, sadness), her inner beliefs & wisdom. Based on her client's short-term (promote efficient breathing) and long-term goals (improve sense of spaciousness to counter the stress & anxiety of living with long-term illness), Kayko developed a thoughtful care plan. She backed up her care plan with supporting research & resources, and adjusted it as needed based on feedback from her client.

Finally, Kayko provided thoughtful research & resources to support the care plan and her client's practice. Overall, the case study was very well done.

Kayko did an excellent job in providing the connection between "what", "how" and "why". Her case study was comprehensive showing both breadth and depth of information related to her client's condition & goals, yoga therapy concepts & research, and yoga therapy techniques offered in the care plan.

Kayko offered exceptional analysis on how yoga therapy can help someone improve their respiratory health while struggling with a longe-term effects of a MAC lung condition. Kayko also addressed related issues, such as the stress that comes when life changes due to illness. She identified potential causes of suffering from a Yogic perspective (.ie. Alasya-depleted energy, Vyadhi-disease, mis-identification with illness) and offered yoga therapy techniques to help her client cultivate interoceptive awareness, relax muscle tension, create lightness in the upper chest, optimize oxygen intake, and increase a greater sense of spaciousness / freedom to counter the stress and anxiety associated with her illness. Well done.

Kayko did an exceptional job working her client to define reasonable short-term and long-term goals, and she demonstrated excellent yoga therapy skills in the care plan, the sessions she offered, and the homework that she assigned.

Kayko did an exceptional job is identifying and applying relevant and credible research to support her care plan and yoga therapy sessions.

Kayko did an exceptional job demonstrating critical-thinking and and individualized approach with her client. Not only did she select well-rounded yoga techniques (i.e. Hatha and restorative asana, breathing practices, meditation practices, cultivating self-compassion, intro to pranic flow and vayus, practical application of yoga philosophy), she tailored these techniques to meet her client's needs.

Kayko did an exceptional job in offering effective yoga techniques to address her client's short-term and long-term goals. She modified the care plan as needed. For example, she shortened the length of time in one posture sequence (bridge to supported shoulder stand) when her client expressed how difficult it was for her to remain the posture for a longer period of time. In the next session, Kayko introduced additional warm-up so that her client felt more able & easeful in the inversion.

In another example, Kayko revised breathing instruction to inhale through the nose (as if smelling a rose) and exhaling through pursed lips (as if blowing out a candle) to reduce her client's experience of dry mouth.

Kayko also established a baseline measurement (number of breaths/minute), and after her final session with her client, the measurement improved.

Kayko is an excellent writer and communicator. This was a very well done case study.
