| Session Date | 12/28/2024 |
| Session Number | 15 |
| Total Session Minutes | 105 |
| Homework assignment to client/group | 1. Three-part breathing for 5 minutes followed by alternate nostril for 5 minutes daily |
| Activities | The client has been diagnosed with chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS). She initially had low energy and was fear of losing cognitive function. The asana and pranayama also focused on strengthening the muscles that facilitate respiration (diaphragm, intercoastal muscles as well as chest and abdominal muscles). |
| Client/Group progress summary | The client had a rough month while I was away: her dog passed away, water leaked in crawl space and helped her daughter move. Nevertheless, she managed the stress well by finding time to breathe and ‘just be.’ Yogic wisdom that we discussed during earlier sessions had been helpful (acceptance, non-attachment). The scores of Neuro-QOL for cognitive function and fatigue slip decline slightly compared to the previous assessment but are still good. Her balance has improved; she was able to tree pose and standing-tandem without holding on to a chair. The length of the inhalation remains the same (4 seconds), but the exhalation increases from 4 to 5 to 6 seconds. The client reported that she did not feel like she does not get enough air when she breathes anymore. She now has a dedicated space for her practice! |
| Reflection and self-evaluation | The client attaches to the idea that her right knee should nearly touch the floor when she sits cross legged. We discussed practice, non-attachment, and contentment; consistent and regular practice but not attach to the outcome/it is okay for her knee to not touch the floor. |
| 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. |
| Plan for next session | Continue to improve balance, flexibility, strength, and lung capacity. |
