Philosophy Refrained Avidya- the Klesha of ignorance. I put it a way of being separated from yourself and your source ( what you believe is your higher power ) and the importance of connecting to yourself and your source, even if it just love.
Client/Group progress summary	This group is progressing in their presence well with reminders of their breath and it moving through and expanding in hale and long exhale. Needs to continue to strengthen balance.
Reflection and self-evaluation	This group have made very good adjustments to each of their physical needs with props on their own, i think this is a huge win because they are understanding why and where their bodies need support. blocks when twisting and seated, straps in supported pigeon, bolsters and blankets under neck or knees in relaxation for some examples.
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	Continuing the practice we have been doing and working in their balance.
