Client/Group progress summary	Client continues to benefit from balancing postures while in his pool-especially the lunges. He enjoys the chair yoga sequence, noted how his shoulders are different everyday. He's practicing some of the chair yoga postures while at his desk during his workday.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I'm pleased to see how our work together has progressed over time. We have a good connection. I appreciate his insight and gratitude. While I don't think his condition has improved as much as he does, we agree that he's on a journey and that simply showing up consistently is all that's needed.
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	We'll continue with the same sequence and I'll offer a new guided meditation that he can practice at bedtime.
