Client/Group progress summary	Variety showed up today - some eager to move, some lying down for half the class. I brought up the challenge for those who needed it, and let those rest who needed it. The 2 who wanted to lie down for half of class were not comfortable lying down at the end, so did the end of class seated.
Reflection and self-evaluation	I’ve never felt as much patience with the women not participating as I did today. I really felt they were doing what they needed to do. One of the guys in the next class shared that many like coming to class because it’s the only place that’s quiet (and it’s not always very quiet).
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	As always, I can plan, but it depends who shows up. The ones who followed along did very well with the physically stronger practice today, so I’ll continue with that.
Report briefly on each Kosha below	Progress toward wellness or worsening reported by the client/group or that you observed in the following areas
