| Client/Group progress summary | The client shared that he is very interested in inversions - in particular Shirshasana. |
| Reflection and self-evaluation | Big learning moment for me - I should have dug deeper prior to our session to find out what he wanted to study. He had reach out saying he wanted to meet again, and in may back-and-forth attempts to schedule, I failed to ask the right questions to know he was interested in headstand. Headstand is not part of my personal practice - for reasons I honestly don't completely know, I'm very guarded about my neck, and have a fear/discomfort of being upside down. Because I do not practice it, I have not taught it in any classes, and was not prepared to work with him specifically on it. I feared I would violate ahimsa, specifically risking physical harm. I asked if we could schedule a session a few weeks out, to allow me to spend time working with the asana in order to give him safe options to explore. I do feel I did a good job of sharing with him benefits of inversions, reviewing his intake and history to make sure there were no contraindications - he does not feel his rotator cuff will inhibit his practice. I also shared that there are many possible inversions that could satisfy his desire to "get upside down" besides headstand - sharing specifically how Adho Mukha Svanasana, Supported setu bandha sarvangasana, Sarvangasana, snail pose, and Viparita Karini are all inversions. |
| 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 | As the client wants to explore inversions, I want to offer Sarvangasana with options as well as Shirshasana. One option I have explored personally is Shirshasana supported by a TRX, which he has access to at the gym. We are scheduled to meet again 22 May. |
