Client/Group progress summary

Client is doing great, no changes, pain 0/10 (3 weeks since any hip pain). Energies feel much more balanced.

Reflection and self-evaluation

Session went well. Client wanted more jnana time than hatha time so I skipped a pose and shorted a tad to accommodate.

Final Client/Group ReportAfter 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.
