| Client/Group goals | Returning to regular yoga practice, including trying new modalities and deepen study. |

| Spiritual orientation and needs | Client is seeking a deeper relationship with God, non-denominational and spiritual based. |
| Intellectual / Sense of self | Client is very optimistic about deepening his raja yoga practice and let the real him out. |
| Yoga philosophy/wisdom research reference(s) | Without having heard of Atman or attachment, expressed that he feels the real him is inside and he has to continue breaking away from recent negativity to be his best, and quit worrying about things that are negative or don't really matter. Began a discussion on the Atman and attachment. Plan to continue exploring. |
| Scientific research reference(s), why chosen, how you plan to incorporate 1-3 | Hatha and philosophy shown to reduce depression and/or anxiety independently or in compliment to traditional tx per: (1) Bridges L, Sharma M. The Efficacy of Yoga as a Form of Treatment for Depression. J Evid Based Complementary Altern Med. 2017 Oct;22(4):1017-1028. doi: 10.1177/2156587217715927. Epub 2017 Jun 30. PMID: 28664775; PMCID: PMC5871291. Secondary to the client's primary goals are some musculoskeletal issues including neck pain (initially denied, but later began emerging) that will be monitored during practices (such as caution during extreme neck flexion/extension. Related to the client's primary goals, as additional trust is garnered and client is willing to disclose more, I will attempt to confirm if professional psychological tx has been sought and whether any rx have been tried. |

| 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. |
