Homework assignment to client/group	Client interested in musculoskeletal system related to his deep gluteal syndrome and yoga poses, continue studying.
Activities	Check-in Centering Pranayama: Deergha Swasam Restorative Hatha Practice: Supported Fwd Bend Butterfly Spinal Twist Supported Back Bend - Elevated for Chest Opening Savasana - Loved previous pose, stayed in it for savasana - similar to "frog in the petri dish" he does at home sometimes Chanting - Tara Mantra Wisdom Teaching - discussed Tara Mantra (liberation from suffering/fear/disease), japa yoga, Hz of chants, chakras Reflection
Client/Group progress summary	Client had a slight R hip agitation 1-2 days after last practice, thought it was due to pigeon (pain 0/10 resting, 3/10 if hip stretched, back to 0/10 after a couple days). Only did a seated bound angle today, will compare results and teach restorative supported pigeon next session.
Reflection and self-evaluation	Session went well. Trusted intuition and went with Tara Mantra chant during savasana with brief tense and release. Client "loved it" thinking he had a 30-45 minute nap even though it was 15 minutes.
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	Check-in Centering Pranayama: Deergha Swasam Restorative Hatha Practice: Fwd Bend Hip Opener - Supported Pigeon Spinal Twist Back Bend - Chest Opener ??
