• Check in, centering, balanced hatha yoga set considering contraindications, relaxation (with imagery as appropriate),
• Balanced pranayama considering contraindications, meditation/centering.
• Include at least one suggestion from Karma, Bhakti, Raja, or Jnana Yoga tailored for this client.

Most of the adaptations made were based on time limitation such as skipping a balancing pose to be able to include pranayama and meditation and then on the following session spending time on the balancing pose. Otherwise, client was able to successfully practice all tools provided in the session.

Client feels ease in her mobility and is currently pain free.

Goal revisions discussed to include - safe transition from standing to sitting to standing and continue adaptive yoga to where client will feel comfortable attending a gentle yoga studio class.

Client's mobility has become more easeful; low back, shoulder and hip pain are gone; has not experienced the emotional pain in sacral area;

energetic level remains the same due to heat and client having the flu; however, when client practices nadi suddhi client feels energized.

client expressed biggest takeaway from the four locks and keys was that not everything requires a response, this awareness has brought client much peace to her relationship with her children. She has not experienced the emotional pain when disciplining one of her children since session#3.

Client feels more connected to the physical body and the self. Client is putting together a support system that works for her, she is taking the steps in prioritizing self-care needs; Client is teaching her children what she has been learning in the sessions and it's been beneficial to them as a family, she feels this is deepening their connection.

Client is very connected to her well-being and to the well-being of family. Client feels support from her family and has a deep spiritual connection and acceptance of challenges presented.

Session #3 - client expressed how happy they were every time we finished because she felt so good and energized.
Session #4 - loves the breathing exercises because she can do them anywhere and she feels energized, very appreciative of the modifications to the poses; these sessions are important to her to reset; felt a release on the shoulder after doing the triangular forearm support addressing her shoulder pain.
Session #5 - took care of elbow pain by doing the joint freeing movements; has been practicing nadi suddhi to fall asleep.

Intake: Daily, 5-minute standing/grounding/centering/movement sequence and 5-minute guided meditation to address client's request.
Session 2 - incorporate joint freeing movements practiced in session to daily meditation practice - either before or after to benefit mobility.
Session 3 - nadi suddhi 5min, twice a day until following session for preparation to meditation; locks and keys practice as applicable throughout the day to improve relationships; incorporate sacral area movements to established asana practice to address the sacral chakra.
Session 4 - nadi suddhi w/ pratipaksha bhavana 5min, twice a day until following session; continue w/asana and meditation; triangular forearm support 30 seconds, 5 times within 10 days.
Session 5 - continue with established practice; think about revising goals such as safely transitioning from standing to sitting to standing; tree pose 10 seconds on each leg daily to increase balance;

Slow down; I will prioritize the practices that are most essential to address client's needs based on check in concerns. I will schedule longer sessions, if possible. Send session summary e-mail within 24 hours - preferably within two hours after session.
