| Core Module Name | Human Body: Ease and Dis-ease | ||||||||
Plan Information | |||||||||
| Selected key teaching (specific core concept): | One of the major components of HBED was to clearly understand both "ease" and "dis-ease" of the human body and the power of the Panchmaya Kosha Model as a therapeutic tool. I will use the Kosha model while assisting my client (myself) with shoulder injury (shoulder impingement) that has inhibited my yoga teaching and certain adls. | ||||||||
| Goal for implementation with client (Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound relating to the client): | My goal is to fully grasp the material that has been taught, the understanding of shoulder impingement, what poses will benefit/what to avoid, how to implement breathwork and meditation in a cohesive healing process. I will use my Sadhana as a daily check in, VNS scale regarding Hatha yoga | ||||||||

Report Information | |||||||||
| How did you envision working with the client(s) to incorporate the selected teaching? (Define the plan) | I chose to d the "wild card" option for this TCA with myself as the client. HBED was a valuable source of information and they did review during one of the lessons Shoulder Impingement, which I do have. My idea was to use the Kosha model as a guideline for myself. I wanted to first honor the physical body, and its current limitation with certain shoulder motions as to honor the R shoulder condition, to modify when needed (particularly when teaching) to refrain from exacerbating pain and decrease inflammation. I would then use the remaining Koshas with breathwork, meditation, journaling and simple awareness as part of my daily routine to offer observable moments of how I felt as a practitioner, teacher, yogi living with this condition of Shoulder Impingement. | ||||||||
| What branch(es) of IY did you use? How does each support your goal/relate to the key teaching? | Hatha Yoga, when completing personal asana practice as well as teaching. These are 3 of the 6 branches, but I feel as if it compliments the Kosha model I was using as reference to guide myself in yoga therapy. | ||||||||
| Short notes on time with client: | Funny enough I'm learning so much about this Shoulder Impingement. I have in my mind, or at least I did have in mind that I needed to be a certain "way" or "caliber" to be a "good yoga teacher". I started to use my injury as a way to see what I can learn from the physical practice of Hatha Yoga...I would bare through pain to maneuver through certain aspects of practice, with my shoulder no way getting better..it was getting worse. My body was telling me to stop...and I listened. I modified, I refrained from certain poses/transitions and I felt better! Mediation and breathwork returned me back to me. Very subtly, quitely like a whisper. I found a sense of peace with that portion of the practice. Self injury through journaling is incredible, why does everyone not do it daily? This injury, and its current rehabilitation is teaching me many valuable lessons. | ||||||||
| Follow up suggestions for your client (whether with you or on their own): | Continue to use the Kosha model on myself...to broaden the perspective of yoga from the glorious physical practice that it offers to the daily dedication to mindful awareness with meditation and journaling. I due truly believe there are lessons in everywhere for us, including myself to uncover...even in injury. We are our own greatest teachers. | ||||||||
| Reflection | |||||||||
| Did you apply your intended plan once you met with the client(s)? Was the goal achieved? Explain. | Yes, I believe I used the plan of the Kosha model the best way I could for myself. Funny enough I know so much about Shoulder Impingment on the physical level, but I feel it has taught me so much more than that...I feel this injury has offered a deepening into my own personal practice of yoga, as well as my teaching of it to various group settings. | ||||||||
| Did you have to adapt anything in your plan? What lessons did you learn? | I feel that I learned to "practice what I preach". The body communicates to you via sensation, and using yoga as a helpful tool to decipher the language of sensation. I learned through the Kosha model, and my personal practice and observation we are so much more than a bag of bones...we're dynamic beings that are meant to shit, change and grow. This injury and my yoga therapy approach to healing has taught me that. | ||||||||
| If you are faced with the same situation again in the future, would you approach it in the same way? Why or why not? What went well? What you might change and why? Summarize. | I absolutely would use the same approach for any similar situation in the future for myself or anyone that I may assist in their yoga therapy. I felt it was a successful use of the Kosha Model for observation and a treatment approach. | ||||||||
