Homework assignment to client/group	• Three-part breathing in the morning and throughout the day • Daily meditation • Gentle stretch
Activities	The client has been diagnosed with reactive arthritis and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) from long covid with preexisting hypermobility syndrome. I have not seen the client since May. Check in – • Centering – witness practice with self-compassion • Joint movement to increase flexibility and mobility of all joints • Breath of Joy for energizing • Sun salutation with chair support • Bridge • Cobra • Child • Table • Alternate life arm and leg • Thread the needle • Seated forward bend • Seated twist • Leg up the chair • Savasana • Box breathing • Alternate nostril • Meditation – gratitude
Client/Group progress summary	I have not seen the client all summer. Our last session together was in May. Despite having a very busy summer, the client has kept up with her daily practice and uses tools that I have offered to her to deal with physical and mental situations. Her pain has been mostly controlled. Loose joint still exists, mostly during PMS. She practices brahmacharya (right use of energy) and knows not to overexert herself.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I am glad that the client has been doing well and her physical and mental states have not declined even though I have not seen her for the past 3 months. She uses yogic tools to manage health conditions and life (busy with her children). Because I have not seen her for a while, I offer a very gentle practice that connects her movement with the breath.
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	Future sessions will focus on building strength and grounding practices through breathing, meditation and guided imagery.
