| Final Client/Group Report | After seeing your client/group (for at least 4 sessions including interactive intake) Please remember practicum is a learning experience. You’ll learn more from sharing what’s accurate than from what might “look good”. Things you did well, not so well, problems and questions are all valid and useful tools to teach you. We can’t serve you to become the best clinician you can be if you don’t share your challenges and mistakes. Success is anything from which you learn. You can continue to add Session entries after submitting this Final Client/Group Report. |

| Client/Group Goals | Client stated he “would like to develop a realistic sense of where my body is for my age. Rather than fighting the aging process and suffering due to clinging on to what I used to be able to do, I would like to enjoy existing within myself and simply enjoy being alive.” Also: “Hope to utilize yoga in conjunction with physical therapy and pain management for treatment of arthritic conditions. Also hoping to benefit from yoga therapy to assist with depression and stress.” All these goals were appropriate for yoga therapy. The client stated he saw progress toward these goals. |
| Report briefly on each Kosha below | Progress toward wellness or worsening reported by the client/group or that you observed in the following areas |
| Physical level | I helped the client find abdominal breathing, then the 3-part breath. For stress management, I taught brahmari breath and alternate-nostril breathing. Restorative asana helped him release tension held physically in his body. |
| Energetic level | I plan taught about the kleshas of attachment and aversion to help him release expectations for his life, particularly related to his physical condition, and holding of tension. We also discussed yamas and niyamas such as aparigraha and santosha. |
| Emotional | Client was willing to admit he sometimes has anger issues, and sometimes believes anger is the only emotion he can feel. We worked with noticing how different emotions show up physically in this body. |
| Spiritual orientation and support plan | Client described himself as open to all religious paths, but currently practicing a form of Tibetan Buddhism that satisfies his spiritual hunger. He regularly attends two meditation groups: one that meets weekly, and one that meets twice a month. He also has his own daily practice of prayer/meditation. |
| Additional Information | |
| Feedback received from client/group, anecdotal or written | The client clearly saw connections between non-grasping and attachment/aversion. Client also saw the applicability of tapas for his interactions with people. |
| Sample of homework given between sessions (after initial homework) | Chest expansion stretches with strap; 3-part breath; observing emotions in his body; pausing for slow deep breathing during times of stress at work; practicing tapas in daily life; kapalabhati and alternate nostril breathing before seated meditation |
