How often do they exercise? The questions target each of the layers, touching on everything from sleep to mood to their thought patterns to what brings them joy. The form is designed according to the model of the koshas, so we get a full picture about what’s going on with the client at all levels-physically, energetically, emotionally, in the wisdom body, in the bliss body-not just the pain or other issue that might have brought them to us, though we do ask about that, too. The first session with a client begins with a review of their personal history form, which they fill out before we meet. Here’s a look at how a typical one-on-one yoga therapy session unfolds. That’s why yoga therapists have 800 hours of training-so we can gauge what is needed in the moment and adhere to the ethical practice of ahimsa (non-harming). I’ll often create a session plan for my returning clients, but if they show up and it’s clear that what I have planned isn’t what’s going to serve them best, I will reassess, and together we’ll create a goal for the session and practices that are appropriate for the situation. At the same time, however, each yoga therapy session is customized for the client-and because everyone is different, the yoga “prescription” is different for everyone. So every yoga therapy session-like every yoga class-follows a similar pattern and format. People come to yoga therapy for a myriad of reasons, but in a larger sense, the practice always has the same goal: empowering clients to care for themselves using mind-body practices and lifestyle changes.
