Client/Group progress summary	Client reports that she has been doing Hatha Yoga, Nadi Sudi and meditation every other day. She feels she gets a little restless in mediation, so I suggested she reduce it to 5 minutes. I assessed this client's breathing because I have not done it since the first sessions. When client sits her back is not straight and she collapses and that impedes her from taking a full breath into the belly. I asking client to be aware of her posture. When the client was lying down, she was clearly breathing into the belly. During Yoga Nidra she was breathing into the belly. Client said she noticed that when she was "chanting at SRF that she was breathing into her belly." Client said that "today's session was nice."
Reflection and self-evaluation	Client is aware of her breathing and her breathing seems to be improving.
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.
