Homework assignment to client/group

Practice full belly breathing, three part breath, and ujjayi on exhale. Try downward facing dog with hands clasped around the kitchen sink. How does it compare to the other variations tries thus far? Where do you feel a stretch? Is it okay in your hands and wrists? Choose a variation and practice it daily. Sun breaths daily.

Activities

Care plan minus moon walking, crocodile, legs up the wall, and metta meditation. Brief explanation of the koshas leading into awareness practice. Added breath explorations both seated and supine, chin tucks, downward facing dog variations using chair back and high windowsill to support hands.

Client/Group progress summary

First full yoga therapy session with this client. Arthritis in the client’s hands and fingers caused discomfort in downward facing dog at the wall. Bearing weight on hands and wrists in all fours is not sustainable. Switched to all fours placing forearms on a bolster.

Reflection and self-evaluation

Client originally committed to three sessions. Today she said she’s enjoying the sessions and would like to continue. Much to explore together. Taking super small steps, learning from experiences with 1st client around working with grief.

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.
Plan for next session

Include more practices from the client’s care plan not included today. Try out other forward head posture corrective techniques.
