Client/Group progress summary	Client is enjoying Asanas and Yoga Nidra - says it's helping him reconnect with his body. His energy is still intermittent - challenged to gauge how much energy he has while moving through his day. I'm focusing more on integrating the breath during asana sequence. He'll grunt from time to time. I then remind him to let his breath inform the pace - easeful, study...no strain....
Reflection and self-evaluation	We've found a good groove and he's open to my suggestions. I'm offering more Raja insights, he's appreciative. I'm being more candid about my feedback and insights.
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 of the same. I'll continue to encourage him to go through basic sequences at his own pace to support him with incorporating some basic asanas in the morning and at bedtime.
