Activities	Check in and Discussion: Our consciousness is elevated by devoted practice (Abhyasa). by nurturing ourselves and our practice our hearts and minds become dedicated and we develop a steady rhythm and flow into our daily lives.

Client/Group progress summary	She is enjoying the teachings and breathing, still working on her presence and stillness. Which is why we incubated restorative poses for her today. To settle on to the support feeling her body relax and release.
Reflection and self-evaluation	This client wanted to move a bit which is why we did the salutations, but she is having another surgery and I wanted her to be able to use the calmer practice during her healing, to remind her of her breath and gently loosen her joints.
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	We will be on a short hiatus, so will see where she is after her healing, which is why we have 90 minute sessions because our checking in time is crucial for her plan.
