• Check in, centering, balanced hatha yoga set considering contraindications, relaxation (with imagery as appropriate),

• Include at least one suggestion from Karma, Bhakti, Raja, or Jnana Yoga tailored for this client.

At the beginning of the care plan the client was icing his shoulder and this did provide pain relief, later we switched the icing to using a heating pad to warm up his muscles before yoga and he did find this helpful. His range of motion improved significantly. His pain improved and he was able to stop pain meds.
When asking about were he carries his stress he states that mostly in his shoulders and hips, so we worked on mindfulness and body connection. We also started working on strengh, since he is working a desk job and not exercising regularly he does not have much core strength or stench in his gluts.

His goal was to reduce pain and improve his flexibility of his arm again, this was archived.
His stress level went down, his sleep and energy improved, he did not specify this as a goal but he was very happy about this.
His digestion improved he did not note this in his intake that this was an area of concern but again he is happy about the improvement.
He is more aware of his sugar intake and eating habits.

Annamayakosha in my care plan we worked on improving flexibility in his shoulders, spine and hips. We also worked on core strength and his glutes. He was becoming more aware of his body and his overall posture which he found very beneficial.

Paranamayakosha we worked on 3 part breathing and improving his energy flow in his body. He noticed that his stress level decreased during work meetings, his sleep improved and his energy improved. He more aware where he hold his tensing and how this potentially interferes with his energy flow. He continues to work on his breathing practices and meditation. He likes working with imagery were her imagines his heart beating and his blood flowing through his body proving oxygen to the cells.

Manomayakosha, the meditation makes him more aware of his body and thought this awareness he can notice who the body and mind are connected. How his emotions and thoughts are represented in his body. The yoga practice made him more aware of his senses again. He gained insight how he can regulated his stress level during a meeting with breathing practice and he found this to be a powerful tool. His overall stress level dropped and he became more aware of the positive things in live.

Vijanamayakosha, he is very curious intellectually and he enjoys reading so we explored the yogic teachings of non attachment and how this can be applied in daily live.To set goal but to not be attached to the outcome.

Anandamayakosha he does enjoy to meditate and to practice withdrawing his sense from the outer world. I believe that this can be very helpful to him also in his work place to not get involved in work drama, to see that he can be uncomfortable in a situation but still ok, the teaching of saucha = clarity and clearness of the mind. We discussed reading Patanjali's yoga sutras.

He enjoyed the yoga therapy. He likes that it is a whole system approach and that I worked with his whole body rather than just with his shoulder when he was doing PT.
He was very motivated because he started seeing results with his shoulder.
He also noticed that his stress level decreased.

His home work was to practice 3 part breathing and meditation in the evening as well as shoulder rolls, pendulum swing with his arm while in a forward bend. Also to walk his hands up the wall.

I will do more of my own research up front but still listen to the clients needs and experiences. I do feel it is very important to listen to the client because it is his body and mind and everyone is different with different needs.

I did feel supported by my mentor, we were able to discuss the care plan and made the shift from ice to heat after a few sessions.

Yes I absolutely enjoyed my service.
