Pilates & Exploratory Movement- a Great blend of Fitness and Fluidity
It's not only about what you do to become strong and fit... but how aware you are of how you're moving.
Strenuously moving without internally sensing how most naturally to perform each movement, ultimately reinforces misalignment in the body creating tension & pain.
Each student's goal is to acquire the skill of moving with total attention and ease in everything she or he does, in and out of the exercise studio. Fitness- It's not only about exercise performance, but about being strong, aligned, present, fluid and relaxed. Pilates & Exploratory Movement- A perfect balance of Fitness and Ease. Suzanne Clare fluidly executing the Mermaid with strength, awareness and ease. Pilates is Great Fun and a wonderfully satisfying experience. Each student is rewarded through experiencing the overall strength and fluidity of one's progress. Ongoing Group Classes- 3 Weekday mornings- on Mondays and Thursdays, at 8:30- 9:45 a.m.& Wednesdays, 10- 11:15. Saturdays from 10:30- 11:45. a.m.. Classes held in the beautiful Yoga/Pilates Studio at the Haven. Private Classes- for those not into group exercise- are also available. Individual classes are $9 each for residents & $10 for tourists & guests. Two packages are available for everyone- a 4 class package is available for $30 & an unlimited class package for $72; both to be taken within a month. Classes in either package may consist of all weekday & Saturday classes. All props- including mats, magic circles, stretchy bands, light hand weights & different size balls- are provided. However, do bring a Yoga mat if you have one to be guaranteed two for comfort, as we go down to the floor.
Begin anytime!
Interested, but have questions? Email Suzanne Clare, Certified Pilates Instructor, at suzeclare@gmail.com
*In the US, Suzanne Clare was a Certified Yoga Instructor and Integrative Yoga Therapist for 20 years, a Personal Trainer in a hospital gym & a Licensed Massage Therapist for 30 years. She has, since relocating to Boquete, been solely teaching Pilates for 7 years.
The enthusiasm and concentration of the class group energy is infectious and Inspiring! Regular class attendance enables students to continually learn & to feel one's self progressing.
Work toward not only being fit, but more Conscious & Aware as you age. Maintain or develop good posture, be relaxed in your body & move with ease and fluidity.

Community Christmas Party Hosted by Amigos de Boquete Comunidad
By Moderator_02,
The party was planned and executed by a recently formed group of expats under the name of Amigos de Boquete Comunidad (ABC). Joe Hart and his wife, Linda, along with numerous volunteers put together this festive gathering. Our hats off to Joe, Linda, and all of their elves.
Here are a few pictures from this event:

ARF Thanksgiving Meal
By Bud,
An unexpected plus for us was that we finally got to meet Beth Abrahams (it is kind of a long story, don't ask).
Beth Abrahams
We also got to catch up with all of the latest travels and happenings of our friends who were at our table. Met a few new people, etc.
There simply was nothing that we could fault (not our goal anyway). This is the way things should be done, and ARF did it with all of their wonderful volunteers. If someone found fault with something yesterday, then I would chalk them off as being a token curmudgeon. Thank you ARF! GREAT JOB!!!!
Thank you to all who helped make yesterday's Thanksgiving Day celebration such a huge success, and special thanks to N&N:
I will close with: we all have a lot to be thankful for.
