Client's posture and facial expressions convey her depression. Body seems to be tense / contracted most likely due to her Tamasic state and chronic pain. She presents a sense of apathy and withholding.
Client has tried Prozac and Lexapro with minimual benefit. She's working with her therapist to find a new psychiatrist.

Client's energy is clearly Tamasic - somber and flat. She sighs a lot - appears to be worn down, frustrated and lost.

Client is emotionally flat and defeated. She describes her feelings at length in a detached manner. She's very aware of her pain due to the uncertainty of her current primary relationship, yet no tears.

Client has spiritual practices that she'd like to deepen, including meditation and breathing. Qi Gong is her primary practice and she's a certified teacher.

Client has low self-esteem and low self-confidence. Blames herself for the state of her primary relationship. While she mentioned her partner's personal challenges, she seems to be taking it all on.

Sutra 1.2 - Yoga is the resolution of the agitations of the mind.
We'll discuss the multi-dimensional nature of her being and consciousness and how various yoga practices, including Asana, pranayama, and meditation can support her to find a calming presence, a basecamp, for whatever she is facing.
Sutra 1.3 - Then the seer abides in it own nature.

I will offer the client for her consideration these teachings to help her see that she is not her depression. She is not her pain, nor her failed relationship. Through the practices of yoga, she can remove the veils of pain, loss and disappointment to experience her true identity, the Witness or True Nature, which is peace.
We'll also discuss the nature of impermanence relative to her depression and current state trusting that these feelings and challenges will pass. The key is to take action with Sankalpa, or intention, to support herself as she moves through this challenging phase.

INDIVIDUALIZED YOGA FOR REDUCING DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY, AND IMPROVING WELL-BEING: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL - Sept 2016
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27030303/
This controlled trial of 108 individuals with depression symptoms participated in a 6-week program of yoga in addition to talk therapy and medication. Upon completion results using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) showed measurable reduction in participants depression levels.
I found this research trial to confirm the obvious. That is, yoga is an effective form of complementary therapy for clients experiencing depression. Through a steady and continuous practice, clients can find relief and support as they connect with their bodies, breath and Purusha.
Given the clients history of injuries and arthritis, I'll perform a JAPA series to determine what postures are available and most beneficial to her.
