I spent more time on breathing practice and yoga philosophy teaching than on asana practice because I believed it was more important for improving her mental well-being. She comes to the studio for asana and restorative yoga practice.

Katie's goal is to achieve a holistic balance within her mind, body, and soul. She aims to alleviate tension in her back, neck, and shoulders while learning effective techniques to manage stress and anxiety. Improving sleep quality is also a key focus for her. Her top priority is managing stress and anxiety.

Katie reported that she is more mindful of her physical movements, making an effort not to hyperextend and to move slowly. She has observed slow progress in areas that have been causing a lot of pain, particularly in her back, neck, and shoulders. I agree with her observation that she moves more slowly than before. I suggested practicing some of the asanas with her eyes closed, which is helping her to enhance her mindful movements.

She reported that “I've seen moderate improvement in my energy but overall feeling more positive energy within me daily.” I noticed her breathing is deeper now than in our 1st session.

I observed she became calmer as she doe morning mindful routine before our session.
This is a very positive response, indicating significant emotional progress. She needs to continue practicing these techniques at work to maintain her calmness.

Katie said she felt like she knew herself better than before, and she was filled with self-love and acceptance. She brought different feelings to each session. I provided a summary of teachings via email and discussed them at the following session. I started talking about 'yoga citta vritti nirodhah' in the first session, and based on her feelings at the session, I explained the four locks and keys, as well as ahimsa. She reads, understands, reflects on these concepts, and tries to apply them in her daily life.

She seeks to enhance her spiritual well-being through deeper understanding and practice of yoga, meditation, and energy healing technique
Katie needs spiritual support that focuses on cultivating a deeper connection with herself, the universe, and her inner peace. Practicing meditation and breathing practice studying yoga philosophy will lead to improve her holistic well-being.

She provided feedback listed below,
"Emotionally, I feel a big difference—from stress levels being lower to having a lot more inner peace and acceptance."
“I've seen moderate improvement in my energy but overall feeling more positive energy within me daily.”

Below is the sample of homework assignments to Kaite, I provided Sadhana Chat or the use of a timer to remind her of a 2-times/day routine during work hours to reduce physical and mental stress.

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

I think it will use a similar care plan. I mostly used yoga nidra for final relaxation, I could have used visualization / witness practice to improve her physical neck pain, and remove her emotional stress.

Katie is also seeing a talk therapist, so she tends to talk a lot.
I listened to what she said, my challenge was how to move to the next activity smoothly not interrupt her.

I did enjoy the sessions with Kaite, she has been practicing yoga not a long time. She is interested in different areas in yoga practice, philosophy, asana, ayurveda, chakra, and more. She enjoys listening to those topics, and I liked teaching her.
