Client/Group progress summary	They are doing great and progressing nicely, one client started to do the morning asanas with her husband and the other 2 really liked that idea. the client that wants to lose a bit of weight is adding on her asana practice and was the inspiration for the walking meditation homework.
Reflection and self-evaluation	This group can struggle with balance, so while we are there for back and hip wellness i would also like to work on their balance with them.
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.
