Mother and father expressed great gratitude for the natural medicine recommendations. Mother herself uses supplements and natural medicines and was able to use the concepts with which she was raised to understand the yogic sequences and interventions. The chi and prana, the use of the body to help heal the mind, the interventions to target negative thoughts--these are all congruent with her Chinese belief system.

Mother reports she has been using more tofu instead of meat in the diet; only about one meal a day with meat while in the past it was multiple meals a day. States client likes tofu, so she'll continue to make it.

It is clear that yoga therapy has been helpful to this client and also to her family in feeling comfortable with accessing integrative mental health care.

These is still progress to be made, but thus far, she has progressed well.

2. review asana.
