Homework assignment to client/group

Give themselves yoga mini-breaks during their work day, including stretches linked to the breath and pausing to notice. Practice rings or protection during the work day.

Activities

Center, ground, check-in. Spinal movements, hip circles, seated pigeon, hamstring and quad stretches, joint freeing series for hips and knees, sun breaths, empty coat sleeves. Super quiet bhramari breathing. Dosha topic mentioned in context of balance and moderation. Guided relaxation: three rings of protection, awareness practice, traveling awareness through the body. Extended exhale. Reflection. Scheduling future sessions.

Client/Group progress summary

Client had a particularly packed schedule, benefits from mini-breaks during the work day, breathing practices and protection sequence. The protection practice continues to be of benefit as the client’s own client base is working through trauma.

Their general physical discomfort and many allergies make the physical body a source of unease and frustration. Bhramari breathing was tentatively received.

Reflection and self-evaluation

The client is more and more tolerant of surprise discomfort and varying degrees of fatigue that shows up each day.

Final Client/Group ReportAfter 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

Similar to this session. Offer personalized guided imagery questionnaire. (Did not get a chance this session.)
