Client/Group progress summary	Client is making good progress. Always enjoys trying new things. She's had several sessions with her chiropractor and massage therapist. Pain levels have dropped from average of 4-5 down to 2-3. She was much more energized eager for a 'faster' session. After completing Breath of Joy, she wanted to do more energizing asanas, I said it was best to close with Yoga Nidra to balance out her session and help her relax for the evening. At close, said she appreciated that.
Reflection and self-evaluation	We're doing well together. We've made definite progress. I'm sensing it's probably time to complete with her. Will discuss at our next session in 2 weeks.
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	More of the same balanced asanas. Discuss energy management through pranayama. Discuss completing our time together.
