hypermobility. chronic headaches.

Client/Group goalsstress management, increase core strength, increase stability of pelvic floor to reduce prolapse and hypertonicity
Energetic

Client struggles with low energy - very tamasic in anamaya kosha - sense of heaviness, sharp pain with small movements, chronic discomfort in low back. Low physical energy makes prioritizing time for any movement practices very challenging.

During breath assessment little to no movement in the abdomen, breathing shallow.

Emotional

Client has a high-stress job working from home, mind very rajasic - has a hard time "turning off" work to be present with husband and daughter. Client still must monitor her watch and phone during our session as she is technically still on the clock for work, but cannot carve out any other time to meet.

Spiritual orientation and needs

Does not have a defined spiritual practice - open to the wisdom teachings of yoga.

Intellectual / Sense of self

Her husband and daughter are her highest priorities. She finds value in the work she does and sees the support and service it provides, which gives her meaning.

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.
