Feedback on Scope
I really like your selected teaching.
I especially like the integration of raja yoga: santosha: acceptance.
SPECIFIC: Very good: 1x/week is also ATTAINABLE.
MEASURABLE: Consider incorporating some type of assessment in order to collect data from
the client's results. TIME-BOUND-very smart to give your client small sessions to integrate.

Overall comments:
Since there is no place for overall comments I will add them here.
I am really glad to hear that your client was able to quietly relax for 10-minutes!
Observing, listening, and exploration with your client is a great approach and demonstrates
the values and qualities of a yoga therapist. Jai Simone!
