Report Information | |||||||
| How did you envision working with the client(s) to incorporate the selected teaching? (Define the plan) | Plan to discuss some of the basic principles from raja yoga such as the yamas/niyamas and help client pick 2 to work on integrating in her practices. | ||||||
| What branch(es) of IY did you use? How does each support your goal/relate to the key teaching? | The philosophy from the yoga sutras are from raja yoga and the application to physical hatha practice falls in hatha yoga. | ||||||
| Short notes on time with client: | Client's main goals centered on improving her flexibility by easing lower back pain and preventing sciatica flare ups. We discussed ahimsa/non-harming (finding the edge and not pushing the body too far and causing more pain or sciatica flare-up), vairagya/non-attachment (not attaching to the ego or a belief that yoga has to be done a certain way), and abhyasa/dedicated practice (moving the body to prevent stiffness with modifications as needed rather than total rest). | ||||||
| Follow up suggestions for your client (whether with you or on their own): | Client had never been told it was ok to modify asanas to work for her body, so she plans to continue experimenting with various props. She also plans to explore and finding the edge to prevent any strain or pain. | ||||||
| Reflection | |||||||
| Did you apply your intended plan once you met with the client(s)? Was the goal achieved? Explain. | The plan worked as intended as we had an engaging discussion on several sutra philosophies, and client set goals with minimal facilitation. | ||||||
| Did you have to adapt anything in your plan? What lessons did you learn? | No adaptations. It worked well approaching the session as facilitation leading the discussion, but letting the client make the decisions. | ||||||
| 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. | Absolutely would use the same general format, but would also be prepared for the client to resist change and have a variety of options ready to propose. I don't feel the client's goals would be successful if they are not part of the process of selecting them. Berkman E. T. (2018). The Neuroscience of Goals and Behavior Change.
