Client/Group progress summary

Full class today. One used a chair for the end of class.

Reflection and self-evaluation

You’ll see in some of the sequences there are notes for if someone is in a chair. It happened when I first started in this location, but now some of those don’t come to class and the ones who do, won’t sit in the chair. I feel like I need to continue to be prepared for it to go either way, which is a lot to think about because I want to be doing poses for osteoporosis, and most of them are standing or standing with a chair for support, which no one here will do. I’m considering demoing in the chair, but will wait and see how this goes for a few weeks.

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.
Plan for next session

Next class will be on ahimsa, moving with kindness toward self. Sequence will be similar. Also we need to get on the floor sooner to leave space for the next class to set up.
