Presenting Problempelvic floor
Physical

All clients can comfortably move up and down from the floor and incorporate walking into their routine, though their exercise habits vary.

Client/Group goalswhat is your pelvis? strengthening their pelvic floor muscles, breathing and the pelvic floor muscles
Energetic

All clients were eager to start, displaying varying levels of energy and enthusiasm

Emotional

All clients approached the start of the pelvic floor workshop with enthusiasm. They were eager to understand and learn more the pelvis and strengthening their pelvic floor muscles.

Spiritual orientation and needs

All believe the mind, body and spirit are connected. None are avid church goers.

Intellectual / Sense of self

My clients demonstrate a strong intellectual curiosity and a desire to deepen their understanding of their bodies, particularly in relation to pelvic floor health. They approach learning with an open mind, eager to integrate new knowledge into their daily lives.

Yoga philosophy/wisdom research reference(s)

Sutra 1.14

I will explain what 1.14 means. I'll explain that I'll be giving them homework and ask that they do it every day without break, with all earnest for time so it can be firmly rooted, stable, and solid foundation. I'll start with the my first class with grounding, noticing the feet and then move into mountain pose so they can feel rooted, stable with a solid foundation.

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.
