When you work with students one-on-one, do you ever forget what you did in the last session? Get distracted from the goals you set for your student? Try to remember what the client had said about their condition previously? Struggle to plan your course of action?
Most healthcare professionals take regular notes as part of their practice to avoid situations like these. Keeping students’ records is invaluable for yoga teachers and therapists as well, because it can remind us about small details we might have forgotten and provide a road map of our students’ progress. In addition, when we sit down to write (or type) our notes about our session with a student, we have an opportunity to reflect on what occurred during the session and process our experience of it. Taking time to reflect, analyze, and process our work is invaluable for refining our skills as yoga therapists, helping us grow professionally.

Yoga Student Profile Workbook is for yoga teachers and yoga therapists who work with students one-on-one and wish to organize their paperwork, simplify their recordkeeping, and chronicle their students’ progress. If you find it easier to follow a template rather than make your notes in a blank notebook, you will appreciate the structure of this workbook.
Each Workbook is a blank template to record all relevant information about one specific student and your work together. This workbook has space for 12 individual sessions, including session notes in the most widely used SOAP format and practice sequences. It also contains a template for discharge report and sample cut-out forms to give to your student.
