Client/Group progress summary

The clients liked that they could practice the asanas and could relax also.

Reflection and self-evaluation

I didn’t know at this point that I needed to do an Integral Yoga style session, although this sequence had all the requirements of asanas but not in the same order as IY.

Final Client/Group ReportAfter 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.
