Please include at least one suggestion from Karma, Bhakti, Raja, or Jnana Yoga tailored for this client/group.

The outline should show the sequence of practices as you plan to offer them. Your care plan proposal should be approved by the mentor before session 2 if possible, or 3 if approval is delayed by mentor.

- BREATH WORK / STRESS MGMT
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. – Viktor Frankl
Client/Group progress summary
Client is very open to our work together. Provides clear feedback. Seems to be straining at times. I remind him to let the breath guide his movement and limits. If breath becomes ragged or uneven, it's a sign to back-off, slow down or stop. He hadn't practiced much between sessions - was apologetic.
Reflection and self-evaluation
I'm pleased to see that client is finding definite benefit from the tools and practices I've shared with him. Feel as though I'm tuned in and have a good sense of where we're headed and what would be most beneficial to him.
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.
Plan for next session
More of the same. Fine-tuning strap work and chair asanas. Talking more about stress management and looking for ways to introduce more substantive Raja principles, including Ahimsa and Santosha.
