I explained and assigned a new daily routine to improve focus at work and enhance overall physical/mental health. She understood all the benefits.

1 Kapalbhati 3 rounds before morning exercise
2 Slow-paced Sun Salutation after morning exercise as moving meditation
3 Eye movement, 2/day or more especially working hours
4 Alternate Nostril Breathing at bedtime and as needed
5 Legs on the wall before bedtime
6 Sadhara Chart
7 Utilize a timer on the watch to remind practice during the daytime

I began today's session with 3 minutes of breathing practice and asked her how she was feeling and if she had noticed any physical or mental changes or challenges since our last meeting.

She expressed that she was struggling to maintain her daytime routine, which includes eye movement, shoulder/neck stretch, 3-parts breathing. Then we discussed the sadhana chart I sent Katie hours before the session to review. She said it would help me keep accountable too, I will add this as one of her assignments and follow up.

I led 3 rounds of Kapalbhati breathing because this is one of her daily practices, moving on to physical movements, I answered some questions regarding sun salutation.
Then I guided her through neck and shoulder movements, emphasizing mindful movement.

Next, we moved on to talk about yoga philosophy. I sent an explanation of 4 locks and keys after the previous session, she had some knowledge about this teaching. I explained some practice she can continue to apply this in her daily life.
To conclude the session, I led a 15-minute session of Yoga Nidra and alternate nostril breathing. This helped her to start her day feeling relaxed.

She now has a morning and evening routine, but she still Struggling to maintain a daytime mindfulness practice amidst a busy schedule. However she is making progress recently, she stated that I am not doing yoga as an exercise. She shifted from appearance and reaching extremes to focusing on internal sensations, distributing weight equally and centering, finding a balance, and grounding.

I believe the root cause of her challenge lies in balancing work and personal life. Katie is a typical individual living in this city, but she is gradually realizing and improving this balance. Emphasizing slow movement and closing her eyes during asana is helping her achieve this.

I will continue to follow this care plan for the next several sessions. Also, I will discuss the four locks and keys and suggest balancing empathy and self-care, as she mentioned having empathy towards wicked people and asked if that is a waste of time.
