Grateful jar, an actual container to fill with positive notes and affirmations.

Activities

Centering and discussion - checking in on how the week was and what has showed up, centering to allow space to absorb without judgment just presence

Asanas- gentle warming neck shoulders and seated cat cow, legs long knees, ankles
pelvic tilts supported bridge, supported open hip then twist. hip rotations in between, 3 forward folds on bolsters legs long, butterfly then wide. Childs pose, then legs on elevated on bolster for savasana, and yoga nidra.

Pranayama- Extended exhalation during class, 3 part breath.

Meditation- Awareness of our mind and body as a container, that we have the choice to fill with what we choose with what fills us with our own peace and happiness.

Philosophy- We are surrounded by these mental states, Kesha's, anger resentment depression greed and jealousy, we are tested always because they find a way o present themselves, We as humans have to learn to protect ourselves when they show up to fill our container with just the positive emotions that we need.

Client/Group progress summary

They have really progressed in the way of stress management, and it's noticeable during our discussion time and sharing after class.

Reflection and self-evaluation

It has been a gift to find different tools for them to share and use in their daily lives. Each student seems to really use them and wants to share a story of what showed up.

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.
