Over time, we want to see something from each branch, selected, adapted and re-framed appropriately. Tools from each module should be used (not on each client/group – but overall)
The outline should show the sequence of practices as you plan to offer them. Your care plan proposal should be approved by the mentor before session 2 if possible, or 3 if approval is delayed by mentor.

Client/Group progress summary
Jasiri did her homework, practiced breath awareness, balance pose 10 seconds on each side and Utthita Ashwa Sanchalasana pose. She stressed how much more balanced she feels. Jasiri is very motivated.
Reflection and self-evaluation
I practiced the planned session 1 hr before our session and was amazed on how relaxed I was - usually I feel anxious when teaching or meeting a client. I also felt confident because I had that time to correct instructions. Going forward this is a must before each session.
I left out Yoga Nidra due to time, however the inversion was for three 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
continue with strengthening and balancing poses
