Post session analysis: Yoga in the early stage of the group worked very well to settle them down and to bring their energy and attention “up”. Allowing time for extended sitting meditation, where we took 1minute breaks to check and see how people were doing was felt to have worked very well. Frank had made a powerful impact on the group and it was agreed that his presence for the remainder of the program - particularly on our away day - would help to galvanise the group and increase their motivation and confidence in the practice. The teaching on emotion needed longer time and more practical examples and opportunities to practice accepting and allowing feelings to emerge. This is a key challenge for this group and perhaps also for this client population. It needs to be worked out much more precisely next time round. 206
