Client/Group progress summary	The client is committed to staying healthy and flexible. He has a proactive approach, though he requires ongoing support to do his home practices daily.
Reflection and self-evaluation	The client is making slow but steady progress in their yoga therapy. They are demonstrating consistent effort and are starting to experience the benefits of a more active, mindful practice. Continuing to meet the client where they are and gently challenging them in small increments will be key to their long-term success.
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	Continue with daily breath and movement exercises, increasing the time as possible. Continue with strength and flexibility. Start seated but get him up and standing with more standing movements against the wall for support.
