Homework assignment to client/group	Bring in her husband for a shared short practice that was recorded for them. Continue her walking meditations and her morning ritual
Activities	Check in on week and practices done at home and how they are working, as well as where she is at in her progress. Centering - creating a space that is sacred, calm and filling wanted energy and releasing what isn't serving. Asana - constructive rest, Japa, twists. Down dog and salutations with lunges and side bending, we worked on some Ha breathes while clearing and sweeping movements. Supported back bend, fish pose with rolled blanket, and assisted savanna with legs on a chair. Yoga Nidra Meditation seated Intention of absorbing the benefits of the breath and movements Pranayama alternate nostril to hold the calming effects Philosophy - Aparigraha, letting go of feelings, behaviors, patterns and even people that hold us back from our our peace and freedom.
Client/Group progress summary	She progressing nicely in her journey and beginning work more on her own. While she experienced a set back of her partner, husband, who has very similar fears and anxieties related to health sharing these with her and she became triggered and resentful because she is putting in the work and found it challenging to hold empathy for him while on her one journey. She kept returning to her breath and found it helpful and calming as well as it helping in her response with him.
Reflection and self-evaluation	This was a big step for her in her work and practices to use it in action and see the power in them and how they shifted her perceptive and reactions which would have been different otherwise.
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 to deepen her practice with me and develop a longer home practice
