| 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. |

| Total hours of all Yoga Therapy sessions with this client/group to date | 7.92 |
| Adjustments and adaptations you made to your care plan, | I planned a bridge pose for her but she couldn’t do it because of her body weight, so we had a cobra pose on the chair, which is also a back bend. She had to rise from the floor very slowly and with awareness. Some asanas were practiced on the chair because of arthritis in her knee. |
| Client/Group Goals | She had some progress at the beginning but was back to the same breathing problems at the end of the sessions. She had some progress in flexibility. Some of the goals needed more time to show some progress. |
| Report briefly on each Kosha below | Progress toward wellness or worsening reported by the client/group or that you observed in the following areas |
| Physical level | She has loss of strength and flexibility, COPD, sleep apnea, pre-diabetes, and knee arthritis. I asked her to do some of the joint freeing movements to observe how she moves and she did all the movements on a chair. When standing she felt somewhat unbalanced. She had to hold the chair to lift one leg. She improved her balance and flexibility. |
| Energetic level | As a Kapha predominant (she had a diagnosis from an ayurvedic specialist), she moves slowly and with low energy. She sleeps at 1 am and wakes up at 10 am. This aspect needed more time to change. |
| Emotional | She has mild panic attacks when she is working. She didn’t report any progress here. |
| Intellectual / Sense of self | Most of the time she spends in thought, calm, curious thoughts, not positive or negative. |
| Spiritual orientation and support plan | Spiritual Orientation |
| Additional Information | |
| Feedback received from client/group, anecdotal or written | “Anna is a pleasure to work with! I am in my mid-sixties and I have COPD. Anna researched what pranayama and yoga poses would work best for me. She is a gentle, caring soul and she patiently led me through a practice that was challenging but within my capabilities. I look forward to working with her in the future.” |
| Sample of homework given between sessions (after initial homework) | - Practice the breath of Joy with the following video (in this version you don't have your hands together.) |
| Personal reflection from doing client/group. | |
| Rough estimate of time spent in preparation and follow up documentation per session | 5 hours |
| What you would change with benefit of hindsight | She needed more time. If I had more time, I would have continued with her. |
| Questions, problems, areas in which you’d like more support | More support in informed trauma material. |
| Did you enjoy your service? | Yes, I enjoyed the service, she was a nice lady, but it was not easy for me. |
