Homework assignment to client/group	One pose a day minimum Jaw release Alt nostril breathing Coherence breath from heartmath Explore mantra possibilities
Activities	Centering Talk about insights and HW Yoga poses for bed + for improving eagle experience (which is a goal she has) Yoga poses for vertigo - she shared with me Alternate nostril breathing Talk about Gita/Bagger Vance/ battlefield of the mind Restorative poses that can be used in bed
Client/Group progress summary	Notices she sleeps better after walking, more physical activity. Has been going to the studio a few times a week and joining activities at the “clubhouse”. Has tried the jaw release once and found relief. Has done a pose a day 6 of 14 days.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I’m feeling awkward meeting on Zoom, although I do appreciate the effort, I find it challenging. It’s so different to meet with someone who is teacher trained and speaks my language - it’s not what I’m used to.
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	Continue with breath awareness and new techniques. Guide her to develop an asana practice that she can be consistent with. Move into studying yama/niyamas.
Report briefly on each Kosha below	Progress toward wellness or worsening reported by the client/group or that you observed in the following areas
Additional Information
Personal reflection from doing client/group.
