• 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.

We weren’t able to do many physical practices together due to tech issues, injuries, etc. most sessions. So we spent more time talking about what was working and the progress she’d made between sessions.

develop a consistent practice, sleep better
Client shared improvement towards consistency. And she’s journaling what she’s trying and the effect on her sleep. She also got a new bed that reports HRV and other helpful things

made progress toward consistent yoga practice

using breathing practices regularly, breath ball app

not willing to open up about what’s going on, says “there’s just a lot going on”

meditating with metta practice; began journaling daily by koshas

taking steps to re-establish community

“I've been continuing to use the Breath Ball app, usually in the evening and I've increased from 2 to 4 minutes. My notes are reflecting that I've been sleeping well. My HRV ranges from 48 to 62. Oddly when I slept very well last night my HRV was the lowest 48. M6 HR ranged from 58 to 64; BR is consistently 14 or 15.

I'm still participating in group yoga sessions about 2 times a week. I've tried to practice at least 1 yoga pose a day and managed 12 days of last 14, so getting a little more consistent.

I finished reading the Yamas & Niyamas book. I selected to focus on Niyama Santosha (contentment). This is week 1 so I'm noticing and journaling about when I find myself getting ready for the next thing or looking for contentment from something outside myself.

My daily notes now track the Koshas- activity, breathing, thoughts/emotions/mantra, and intellectual/spiritual. The note taking has helped me try to incorporate each somewhere throughout each day. Consistency!"

One pose a day minimum.
Breathing practice at different times of day - notice any effects in the moment or on sleep.
Metta/loving kindness meditation.
Take walks in your new neighborhood - maybe meet some new neighbors.
Reading: Gita for Children, Bagger Vance, Yamas & Niyamas

Maybe not take a client that was only on zoom. Maybe let the client know upfront that we were planning 4 sessions and then re-evaluate. Maybe have minimum tech requirements and a test session to see if it would even work under their circumstances. Have fewer expectations.

4 sessions wasn’t enough time, especially with all of the challenges.
I didn’t click well with this client in this role. I had known her from classes at the studio, and we took 200YTT from the same person. Maybe I had a different attitude since she was ryt200…?
