Client/Group progress summary	Client progressed well. Continues with his meditation practice near the fish pond he has. The client is open to the suggestions given about his financial issues and worries around it. The client showed positive feedback about the practices shared and showed interest in doing those practices.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I was more present and was able to give suggestions immediately when he shared about his issues. I think that is because the shared practices were part of my daily sadhana. The asana flow was smooth. I was not able to deliver the poses as planned because we took time to discuss about the issues he was having.
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.
