Please include at least one suggestion from Karma, Bhakti, Raja, or Jnana Yoga tailored for this client/group.
Over time, we want to see something from each branch, selected, adapted and re-framed appropriately. Tools from each module should be used (not on each client/group – but overall)
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.

Homework assignment to client/group
- MANTRA - Chin up!! I think this will be a helpful cue to you during your day. So keep your chin up!
- CHAIR YOGA
- Sufi Grinds - sitting up tall with hands on knees or thighs, circle your spine - inhale as you move forward with slight arch in your back, gently round your spine and exhale as you move back. Do 10 circles, then repeat in opposite direction - continue for 3 minutes. Sufi Grinds help the upper body to open up, stretch, relax and release tension. Your internal organs also get a great massage and the deep breathing totally cleanses and refreshes your nervous system.
- Cat / Cow - easy to practice at your desk 2 - 3 x per day. Rest hands on thighs - inhale, engaging core, lifting sternum then chin. Feel the entire spine - from tailbone to crown of head lifting. Exhale, gently tucking chin to chest and rounding your back. Repeat 7 - 10x. Rest. Repeat, if desired, for a second set.
- TRIGGER POINT RELEASE
- BALANCE
- Tippy-toe Balancing - using a secured chair, stand facing back of chair with hands resting gently on top of chair back. Inhale while gently rising up on your toes as you lift your sternum then chin. Feel the full extension of your spine. Exhale and return to neutral. Practice 7 - 10x. Rest. Repeat, if desired, for a second set.
- Standing Balance - using a stable chair - stand next to the back of the chair -
— LEFT SIDE - place left hand on chair, as needed, lift your left knee - hold for count of up to 10. Release.
— RIGHT SIDE - place right hand on chair, as needed, lift your left knee - hold for count of up to 10. Release.

Client/Group progress summary
Continued progress and momentum. He loved his mantra. Also added that he and his wife feel - and can see - that he's made more progress w/ our sessions in the past few weeks than he has with his osteopath and chiropractor.
He's incorporated tippy-toe balancing and standing balances into his pool time.
Reflection and self-evaluation
So much fun improvising. Loved the mantra I gave him as well. I need to start measuring/timing his standing balances. I can see that strengthening his right knee is key to helping him with balancing.
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.
