Please include at least one suggestion from Karma, Bhakti, Raja, or Jnana Yoga tailored for this client/group.
Over time, we want to see something from each branch, selected, adapted and re-framed appropriately. Tools from each module should be used (not on each client/group – but overall)
The outline should show the sequence of practices as you plan to offer them. Your care plan proposal should be approved by the mentor before session 2 if possible, or 3 if approval is delayed by mentor.

Homework assignment to client/group
- MANTRA - Keep on keeping your chin up!
- CHAIR YOGA - continue with series - practice 2 - 3x per week.
- Sufi Grinds - sitting up tall with hands on knees or thighs, circle your spine - inhale as you move forward with slight arch in your back, gently round your spine and exhale as you move back. Do 10 circles, then repeat in opposite direction - continue for 3 minutes. Sufi Grinds help the upper body to open up, stretch, relax and release tension. Your internal organs also get a great massage and the deep breathing totally cleanses and refreshes your nervous system.
- Cat / Cow - easy to practice at your desk 2 - 3 x per day. Rest hands on thighs - inhale, engaging core, lifting sternum then chin. Feel the entire spine - from tailbone to crown of head lifting. Exhale, gently tucking chin to chest and rounding your back. Repeat 7 - 10x. Rest. Repeat, if desired, for a second set.
- Cherry Picking - chin up with alternating arm raises - remember to use the breath - inhale as you reach and exhale as you return hand to thigh.
BALANCING -focus on Drishti - Balancing w/ Chair one leg at a time / Squats / Lunges / Tippy Toes
PRANAYAMA - Voo Breath
Steady progress continues. He's enjoying the various Yoga teachings and concepts. Always has anecdotes to relate to what we're discussing. He hadn't been sleeping well so we took our time during the session. He needed to talk - seemed to be stalling a bit.
Reflection and self-evaluation
Good work. Client is a pleasure to work with. I know he's getting benefit from our work together. I'm wondering if we might be meeting too often? He's eager to meet weekly, which is fine for me. Just wondering if I might be getting bored with what we're doing? I'm staying within his ROM and seeing progress. Something to be mindful as well as a Sankalpa of service. Will complete with Case Study beginning of December.
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.
