| Assessment | |
| Proposed number of sessions | 3 |
| Location of sessions | Central State Hospital, Bldg 39 |
| Planned time per session | 45 |
| Presenting Problem | PTSD, anxiety |
| Physical | All participants have mobility restrictions: Mr. Jones - leg length discrepancy, right hamstring weakness/lack of activation from gun shot wound, sciatica; shoulder tightness and forward position Mr. Moore - pain in right knee (no known diagnosis), some cognitive impairment in following guidance/cues, limited overhead shoulder mobility Ebony - in postural assessment her arms are very still, no natural movement/swing when she walks - almost as if her upper body is "locked down". Carol - while no noticable physical restrictions during physical assessment, prefers to practice seated in a chair. Not sure if this is an issue of movement confidence, or something on the manomaya kosha level. |
| Client/Group goals | anxiety and stress management |
| Energetic | Clients present somewhat tamasic - do not know how much of this is related to current medications for anxiety or aggressive behavior? (I'm not privy to this information, nor do I want to know anything that would reveal information on their criminal charges to me). |
| Emotional | Clients do not speak much - they will respond if I ask a question, but overall very reticent. Again not sure how much of this is due to current medications? Mr. Moore and Mr. Jones are more vocal - will laugh and smile. Ebony - face is always expressionless, yet she is very attentive and engaged with practice. I interpret her consistency, always showing up, as a sign of receiving benefits from her practice and a desire to explore what yoga has to offer across all the koshas. |
| Spiritual orientation and needs | Clients have shared nothing on this level with me. |
| Intellectual / Sense of self | This kosha is challenging for me to assess - or perhaps I need guidance on how to better interpret what I see, hear and feel from the clients? |
| Yoga philosophy/wisdom research reference(s) | I feel like any and all of the yoga sutras will be beneficial. Especially those involving our thoughts and our ability to influence our thoughts and calm our minds. The panchamaya kosha model - that we are more than the body. |
| Scientific research reference(s), why chosen, how you plan to incorporate 1-3 | Free Inside (program recommended by Brahmi Romero) Sensory Enhanced Yoga for Self-Regulation and Trauma Healing, Lynn Stoller - in particular Chapter 7: Recovery and empowerment through yoga in prison. |
| Approval Notice | |
| Questions for Mentor | Thoughts on any sutras that would be the most clear and easy to grasp, as well as useful? |
| Care Plan | Outline should be a practice adapted to the needs of that client/group, including:
Your care plan proposal should be approved by the mentor before session 2 if possible, or 3 if approval is delayed by mentor. |
| 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. |
