Client/Group progress summary	Client continues to show up - says she's finding benefit with the hand exercises and nighttime breathing practices. Said that while she doesn't do her asanas everyday she's trying to do more QiGong. I encouraged her to continue with what's working for her - whatever motivates her to get movement and self-care into her weekly routine. She's also tried Abhyanga a few times and finds it to help her relax at bedtime.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I'm glad that I've persevered even though I've experienced some sort of disconnect with this client. It's good to accept her at her word and to keep encouraging her, while acknowledging that she's made some progress and has benefited from our work together.
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're going to take some time to review all that we've tried to establish an ongoing routine she can do on a regular basis. Continue with Asana sequence, breathing, Restorative and Yoga Nidra, which she loves.
