Activities
Checked in about pain level in her right arm, her anxiety and her mood.
She states that since we talked in our assessment last week, she tried to implement a routine in her daily life she states that a meditation routine right now is not possible for her due to her anxiety, but she likes doing cross word puzzles in the morning this calms her down and then she goes for a walk. She did the alternate nostril breathing for 2 minutes every day and she finds this calming.
Started our session with centering
Arm raises with focus on breathing, then adding a spinal twist to the arm raises.
shoulder rolls
neck rolls
the tried putting the hands in prayer position and the pressing lightly, but she states that this causes her pain, so we abandoned this posture.
Childs pose with raising up to the knees and then arm raises with focus on breath then going back in Childs pose.
We did not due any asanas in tabletop position, because her right arm was hurting. She states that she lifted her little niece a lot yesterday.
We used the blocks for hamstring warm up in lunge position, going into high lunge from there then stepping into forward bend, half lifts in forward bend, then coming up into standing, stepping into warrior 2
on both sides.
10 wall push ups
On the mat savasana, then leg raises 10 on each side, and pushing the knees into the palms for core strength
then turning onto the abdomen
baby cobra
bow pose
then guided visual meditation with imagining, rainfall, rain bow and rain forest
I did ask her in the intake what colors are pleasing for her and if she likes the water theme or if it triggers a trauma response for her so she let me know that she loves the image of water and she loves guided meditation.
Client/Group progress summary
The client enjoyed trying out different asanas and exploring what she can and can't do, we did not proceed if she experienced any pain.
She was surprised about some poses that that she was able to do and other that she was not able to do.
She states that she loved the guided visualization and that she felt so relaxed.
Update on my client progress, she did say that after the guided meditation she felt less anxious and her sleep improved.
Reflection and self-evaluation
I was able to adjust to the clients needs and changed my yoga therapy accordingly.
I was able to create a safe space for her and she was able to relax despite her anxiety.
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
I will continue to explore the clients level of pain and her level of anxiety.
I will work on core strength and back strength,
as well as slowly work on upper body strength and stretching.
