Case Studies Assignment
Students should read through the yoga therapy case studies listed. If you know in your heart that you could create a yoga therapy plan for each of the fictional clients (of course, you’d need more info, but you know which questions you’d ask and, depending on the answers, which protocols you’d likely offer), then upload a document stating you read the case studies and feel you can adequately do the lessons.
If you are in doubt, or simply want more feedback, please do this lesson! This means you are either uploading the assignment or uploading a document stating you’ve reviewed the case studies and feel confident that you have the skillset to create a plan (making assumptions as necessary, since you don’t have a live client to interview.)
I am offering you an option because I don’t want to unduly burden you with excessive work, but I do want to make sure you know how to create a plan.
Let’s Get Started:
Select 1 or more of the yoga therapy case studies listed below. For each of the ones that you select, write a document (or send a video) to let me know what tests or assessment questions you might perform for the client and what recomendations you might make.
To make the recommendations, you’ll probably need to make assumptions as to the assessment or test results. It’s fine to make these assumptions since the exercise is to make sure we can creatively think and coach our clients.
Even which tests you perform or questions you ask may require you to make certain assumptions since often what you ask or which tests you do is based upon the answer to previously asked questions. When they answer A, you ask B or do test X, but if their answer is Y, then you ask C or do test Z.
Simply fill in any assumptions and let me know which tests/questions you might perform/ ask and what recommendations you might make (again, you’ll have to make assumptions about the results, which you need to share in your homework).
If you do this assignment, the scope is up to you. It’s designed to help YOU know that you have the skills to create a therapy plan. This is to help you be a better therapist, so if you need more detailed feeback, give me a more detailed plan. If you feel confident in therapy planning but want to get a high level opinion of your strategy, make it more high level.
Write down your plan and maybe some notes to tell me why you are thinking about a certain protocol or you may video yourself and give me your thoughts that way. Upload it and I will review it and give you feedback.
