| Assessment | |
| Proposed number of sessions | 4 |
| Location of sessions | Yoga studio in Montgomey, Ohio |
| Planned time per session | first 30 min, 2,3,4: 90 min |
| Presenting Problem | Stress, anxiety and trauma |
| Physical | She doesn't exercise much, just when she teaches a yoga class which is not regular. Her personal practice has "suffered in the past year" She likes to walk but didn't do it much during winter. General health is good. I noticed that although she is full-figured she has very good mobility and flexibility. |
| Client/Group goals | Regain connection to Self and restore mental health |
| Energetic | She has very little energy, yarning even during Sun Salutations, speaking slowly, and taking time to answer questions. She is in a tamasic state. She said cold is very hard on her, this and her depression could justify a vata mind. |
| Emotional | She cried during the session. She is depressed, and feeling without support. She feels tired and lethargic. Her very high level of stress probably took her to a lethargic state. From Rajas to Tamas. |
| Spiritual orientation and needs | She is searching for a spiritual path. She knows she is on earth to learn and teach and create conscious community. |
| Intellectual / Sense of self | She likes to read about everything and talk to interesting people who can add something to her life. She likes to be part of a sangha. |
| Yoga philosophy/wisdom research reference(s) | The client's goal is to regain connection to Self and restore mental health. The concept of swadhyaya will help her to connect to her higher Self.

| Scientific research reference(s), why chosen, how you plan to incorporate 1-3 | I accessed some websites about carbon monoxide poisoning to learn more and serve better the client. Here is one: To help her with migraines: About longer exhalations and the vagus nerve: About journaling: SA TA NA MA article and how it can help the brain and how to practice: No contraindications. |

| Session | |
| Session Instructions (Not Mentoring) | Your session outline should be a practice adapted to the needs of that client, including:
Tools from each module should be used (not on each client – but overall) |
| 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. |
