| 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.

| Number of sessions completed | 5 |
| Date you started seeing client/group | 07/12/2024 |
| Total hours of all Yoga Therapy sessions with this client/group to date | 6 |
| Adjustments and adaptations you made to your care plan, | Added a few vocal practices: A-U-M repetition and Ha breath kriya. Added personalized guided imagery, receiving input from clients’ questionnaire responses. Emphasized relaxation techniques more than anticipated. Introduced alternate nostril breathing during two sessions. |
| Client/Group Goals | • Any progress towards goals • Review and revision of 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 | Greater ease of movement, developed muscle memory of tapping sequence. Tremors either reduced or ceased when letting go in guided relaxation. |
| Energetic level | Participants learned practices to energize when feeling a bit sleepy, foggy, or fatigued; and they learned calming practices for when anxious or agitated. In general, participants arrived awake and ready to engage in their yoga practice. |
| Emotional | Hard to say as it was a group. |
| Intellectual / Sense of self | The group demonstrated gratitude for many aspects of their lives and for the abilities they have. Acceptance opens the door to gratitude for life as it is, even while living with Parkinson’s. |
| Spiritual orientation and support plan | The group shared a common experience of awe of nature in guided imagery practice. |
| Additional Information | |
| Feedback received from client/group, anecdotal or written | Clients shared that they appreciated and enjoyed the offerings and the series changed their notion of what yoga is. |
| Sample of homework given between sessions (after initial homework) | Practice alternate nostril breathing after establishing a smooth, steady, quiet breath (could review technique as described in document provided by me,) and another practice of client’s choosing. |
| Personal reflection from doing client/group. | |
| Rough estimate of time spent in preparation and follow up documentation per session | Thirty minutes to prepare, 30-45 minutes to follow-up. |
| What you would change with benefit of hindsight | Create opportunities for dyad interaction. |
| Questions, problems, areas in which you’d like more support | It was encouraging to see client progress in getting to know their bodies on a more subtle level. Seeing them let go of tension and more fully let go, moving into relaxation with relative stillness was heartwarming. Learn more about offering yoga therapy for PD from those experienced with it. |
| Did you enjoy your service? | Yes, very much. |
