Final Client/Group ReportAfter 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.

Adjustments and adaptations you made to your care plan,

I had a basic plan but also manipulated it a bit depending on time each week. Sometimes we spent more time on discussion and sometimes we spent more time on practices.

Client/Group Goals

Clients stated interest in “stress management,” “relaxation practice,” and “breathing.”

Report briefly on each Kosha belowProgress toward wellness or worsening reported by the client/group or that you observed in the following areas
Physical level

All clients enjoyed the various asana practices: standing, seated, supine, restorative - and felt the positive effects of the practices.

Energetic level

Clients stated they felt more balanced. One said the group had "changed my life."

Emotional

Clients stated they enjoyed the variety of practices and teachings aimed toward managing anxiety/stress. They each created their own personalized toolkit to help themselves feel better.

Intellectual / Sense of self

Clients participated in discussions and felt free to ask questions. They enjoyed the intellectual stimulation. As older adult, they often lack this kind of connection with others.

Spiritual orientation and support plan

Three out of the four clients shared about how yoga meshes with their Christian beliefs/practices. The fourth client chose not to share on this topic other than the fact that playing piano is a spiritual experience for him.

Personal reflection from doing client/group.
Rough estimate of time spent in preparation and follow up documentation per session2 hours
What you would change with benefit of hindsight

Nothing. I was able to do everything I intended to do. Even though the group discussions were out of my comfort zone, I was still able to manage the time pretty well.

Questions, problems, areas in which you’d like more support

none

Did you enjoy your service?

Yes! I love seeing how much clients appreciate what yoga therapy has to offer them.
