Morphology
The meaning 'a period set aside for systematic training' is directly derivable from combining 'practice' (repeated exercise to improve) with 'session' (a scheduled time for an activity). This straightforward noun+noun composition is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English compounding patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Practice session paints a simple picture: practice is repeating a skill and a session is a set time when people meet. So a practice session is a set time when people repeat an activity 'to improve'.
