But the uncontrolled mind behaves as the enemy.” Gita 6.6 “We cannot always control what happens on the outside, but with practice we can control our response - or what happens on the inside.” –YFFR Talked about reframing the past
Client/Group progress summary	Tried repetitive breath at night, prayer Needs a plan for rainy days when she can’t get outside (suggest music - sing/dance) Would like a reading assignment
Reflection and self-evaluation	Plan less for the asana portion and more for meditation, relaxation, wisdom teachings. Spend more time in my classes making sure people are doing asana in a way that’s good for their bodies, making adjustments to cues and asking questions.
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	Similar asana, bring more nighttime practices and reading suggestions
