Philosophy - revisiting 2:46 and concepts of the asana are steady and stable but intended for moving and preparation for meditation
Client/Group progress summary	she was so much more centered today, her body is understanding where its going and is allowing her space to release her judgments a bit. physically she is becoming a bit more stable in the postures because she is connecting ever so slightly more to her breath
Reflection and self-evaluation	it is very important for me to speak very simply with her during practice. The way her brain processes information and allows her to move through the movement and breathing and even through meditation.
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.
