Final Client/Group Report	After seeing your client/group (for at least 4 sessions including interactive intake) Please remember practicum is a learning experience. You’ll learn more from sharing what’s accurate than from what might “look good”. Things you did well, not so well, problems and questions are all valid and useful tools to teach you. We can’t serve you to become the best clinician you can be if you don’t share your challenges and mistakes. Success is anything from which you learn. You can continue to add Session entries after submitting this Final Client/Group Report.
Plan for next session	More feet work. Posture awareness. Breath awareness. slowly and gentle lengthening the hamstring, hips. Moving the spine in all directions. Introducing extended exhale. Wisdom: Will introduce sadhana - daily practice, doesn't have to be a full hour. Can be in segments through out the day.
