Homework assignment to client/group	Finding the time when things are hectic to breath and connect to self Meditation recording Asanas to release hips
Activities	Discussion and check in Centering was a very short breath and body scan practice Asanas- seated side bends, childs to cow, cobra, downward dog, salutations, seated spinal twists, folds, supine hip rotations and happy baby, restorative bridge and inversion with bolster under lower leg Pranayama- square breath imagery, peaceful inhale releasing stress exhale yoga nidra Meditation - was a challenge Philosophy - how we were able to shift and control our thoughts during chaos (i guess a reframed chitta vritti)
Client/Group progress summary	This client had a super stressful week and her young daughter was at our session because she had her tonsils out. She was able to get through the distractions and center and surprised herself, i also didn't want to wake her from nidra but getting into meditations a problem because of her daughter there.
Reflection and self-evaluation	After we finished the session, I really didn't know if she was able to connect at all or how she was feeling but it turned out to be a bit of a breakthrough that she could get into herself and the practice with the distractions. She considered it a blessing.
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	continue to work through tight hips and pelvic floor strength, breathing and meditation
