Client/Group progress summary	We are working on revisiting our goals and she has gotten very strong in her practice and wants to grow more. While keeping her original goals of mobility and strength, she is motivated to also be more connected to her breath and energy while moving through her asana practice.
Reflection and self-evaluation	This client has a strong daily meditation and ritual practice, which was in place before we started working together. We are building that in her movement practice so she can trust her body and balance more. The repetition for her is very important as the simplicity of language while moving.
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	Watch her through the new moves and make sure she feels strong with them to remain in her breath and centered place during practice.
