| Yoga philosophy/wisdom research reference(s) | Ahimsa - non harm. Non violent to ourselves. When we feel powerless, rushed, out of balance, we find ourselves speaking and feeling unkindness towards ourselves and others. Our inner strength and character determines our ability to be the person of peace at home and in the world. - Deborah Adele "The Yamas & Niyamas" Questions to ask: where can she create balance in her life?

| 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.
