Final Client/Group ReportAfter 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

She made a good amount of progress towards her goals, I feel she could use more time in yoga therapy.

Report briefly on each Kosha belowProgress toward wellness or worsening reported by the client/group or that you observed in the following areas
Physical level

She started to get more comfortable with the asanas and able to get a bit deeper in the poses after the first few sessions. Still tight in hips and hamstrings.

Energetic level

Her energy is typical high except for fatigue in the midafternoon, she had to be reminded to take deep breaths because she shallow breaths or even holds her breath at times.

Emotional

She has a lot of stress in her life, works a full time job and has 3 young children. It began to surface that she doesn't have much support for her spouse and this causes more stress in her home life.

Intellectual / Sense of self

There is an understanding of the disconnection of her body and where most of her stress comes from and is trying to figure out time to create the daily practices as rituals.

Spiritual orientation and support plan

There wasn't spiritual connection to the yoga practice yet, there was an energetic understanding but I believe it would come through with her over more time.

Additional Information
Feedback received from client/group, anecdotal or written

This client expressed that this was an amazing experience and would like to continue working together.

Sample of homework given between sessions (after initial homework)

This client has ritual suggestions for self care, tongue scrapping and daily oil massage.
As well as recorded breath work and a few asana practices for just a few minutes for stress relief.

Personal reflection from doing client/group.
Rough estimate of time spent in preparation and follow up documentation per session30
What you would change with benefit of hindsight

I would have like to have longer sessions than 60 mins.

Questions, problems, areas in which you’d like more support

I can't say this is a problem but when it started to come out that there was issues with her spouse, how much space should I allow and offer suggestions?

Did you enjoy your service?

yes.
