| Yoga philosophy/wisdom research reference(s) | I will discuss the concept of Atman that the true self is inside and there all along, and we can work on the outer layers to find clarity and "let it out." Sutra 1.10 reminds us that with proper sleep, we can improve the mind and body. And yogic sleep could provide much needed rest. Sutra 1.38 gives guidance on how to handle dreams or recalling thoughts following sleep. |
| Scientific research reference(s), why chosen, how you plan to incorporate 1-3 | Mental health origins are shown to have improvement with asanas, pranayama, and yoga nidra; while musculoskeletal origins will require modifications as needed to prevent agitation of chronic pain issues.

| 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. |
