Homework assignment to client/group

This client's homework is to continue to sit in silence with no technology for at least a few minutes before bed and observe how the mind feels when he does so. He also is to continue with his pranayama practice, for at least a few minutes 2-3 times a day, with the continuation of kapalabhati if he feels himself grieving and low energy and feels that he doesn't need to rest, as that has been working for him.

Activities

Guna check in , 4 locks and keys and pratipaksha bhavana wisdom teaching, tabletop warm up, sun salutations, Sphinx, bow, locust, wide legged seated water flow, utkatasana, shoulderstand, plough, reclined pigeon, reclined twist. Pranayama practice included Nadi Shodhana, dirgha pranayama, and the "ha" breathing variation of kapalabhati. We did yoga nidra with the divine light invocation, silent meditation, and then closed with a brief chant.

Client/Group progress summary

This client is really making progress now, he has been continuing his morning pranayama practice before work and has added a brief yoga nidra after the pranayama.

Reflection and self-evaluation

We are still struggling with being long-winded during the check-in and wisdom teaching portion of class, but I am getting better at remaining within my scope of practice and not talking too much about his personal problems.

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

Next session will be similar, though we will go through a chair yoga asana practice as he can have some postures to use at work in his work chair.
