Homework assignment to client/group	I suggested slowly starting a shower meditation. Washing away her stress and worries and see them go down the drain
Activities	4 sessions 75 min each, 1 summary Grounding, stretching, warm up, linking breath with movement Pranayama: box breathing, extended exhale, diaphragmatic breathing. cat/cow, child’s pose, table top. Sun A, a gentle flow. We are working on chaturanga dandasana these past 4 weeks. Slowly working our way up to chaturanga dandasana. Core strength and arm strengthening to help with maintain her posture and LB and shoulder pain. Discussion/Wisdom: We continued with 4 locks and keys as it is helping with her boss and her unhappy job. I suggested slowly starting a shower meditation. Visualizing her stress and worries being washed away and down the drain
Client/Group progress summary	Client says YT has really helped her low back and shoulder pain. Her initial reason for coming to YT was because her kids would not leave her alone and always wanted to be held and carried but now she hardly mentions them. When I ask, she just replies, they're good.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I'm glad client is getting the benefit from YT but I also feel like I'm a therapist. As a matter of fact, she stated you're better than my therapist.
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	See if she is continuing with 4 locks and keys with her boss. Will see what she brings up and take it from there.
