Client/Group progress summary	She is very intent on learning how to connect to her body after all the changes it has been through as well as learning and building a meditation practice.
Reflection and self-evaluation	This client is very new to yoga and while she is eager she also asks a lot of questions during, "Am I doing this right" I am noticing she is a people pleaser and struggles to just think about herself, which is key for our work together.
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	Building on connection of her physical body, as well as making sure she is in understanding of her needs and care.
