Client/Group progress summary
Client showed interest in learning about stress and scoliosis, and one contributes to the other in a cyclical way.
Session went longer than expected due to adopting the modified poses to his body and space.
Reflection and self-evaluation
I really got an opportunity to learn more about scoliosis.It was a challenge to find the right space to practice some of the poses. The session went longer than usual. I might think about splitting this one session into two sessions in the future. This session 2 might be just the planned hatha practices and yogic philosophy ( practice and non-attachment). And the session 3 might include teachings about scoliosis or why we are practicing on one side and not the other side. I had very less time to practice teaching the poses. I would spend more time on practicing the "practice teaching the poses" in the future sessions. I
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.
