Homework assignment to client/group	Continue her workouts and asana practices Continue brahmari and alternate nostril breathing daily Continue exploring the interconnection of her Christian and Sikh beliefs and practices
Activities	Discussion about terminating our sessions and how we will keep in touch via email and texting so I can continue to provide support for her. Complete asana set: standing, all fours, and supine 3-part breath, and extended exhales
Client/Group progress summary	Client is doing well overall. She is very happy about my fulltime position but understandably sad that we need to terminate our sessions after this Monday. She cried a little today as we had this discussion (I had emailed her earlier with explanations about my surgery and fulltime job). We are going to work together to help "finalize" what she can realistically be doing to care for herself each day/week. She also recognizes she needs to see her primary care provider for a check-up since she hasn't done this in quite a while.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I felt this was a great session with the client, including the way I handled the upcoming termination of our sessions. I feel good about how I have served her through yoga therapy.
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	Asana, pranayama, yoga nidra Answer any of her lingering questions Correspond via email regarding her selfcare routine going forward.
