Plan Information

Selected key teaching (specific core concept):

The Integral Yoga Basic Teacher's Manual (pg. 75) describes balasana or child's pose as calming to the mind and stress-reducing. The key teaching is the modified Child's Pose, to be incorporated into the client's sleep routine.

Goal for implementation with client (Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound relating to the client):

The goal for implementation is to help calm the mind before sleep, as part of the client's nightly sleep routine. I will teach supported balasana in 1 online session and then after about 3 weeks, I will follow up with the client about his experience. The props which can be used are bolsters and blankets to support the abdominal area.

Relevant Client(s) Details

The client is a 75 year old male who has recently lost his wife. He is healthy except for Osteoarthritis; he is not kyphotic. He has been lonely and overwhelmed, now that his wife is not around to help him. He has difficulty winding down before bed. He is an established patient in a mental health clinic.
