Client/Group progress summary	5/7/24-rough class, COs mocking, room switch, clock time wrong, men talking and less focused most of the time until perfect focused ending (relaxation and breathing practices) 5/14/24-good today, regulated, focused, asking questions; one shared that his mind was wandering to the future and wanting to get on with his sentence 5/21/24-very mixed today - some very quiet/low mood and some very chatty/manic
Reflection and self-evaluation	I’m frustrated with the usual jail issues - changes in schedules and not letting some come to class for no apparent reason. This happens from time to time and it has been worse.
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	It always depends on who shows up and how they show up. I plan to take mentor’s suggestions about adding drills and challenges, also adding time in RTA/yin poses.
Report briefly on each Kosha below	Progress toward wellness or worsening reported by the client/group or that you observed in the following areas
