GENTLE YOGA
MONDAY thru FRIDAY 9:30 - 10:30 AM
5-Days a Week! A Gentle Yoga class that encourages breath & body-awareness, as we blend traditional poses with conscious movement. Great for beginners, or those who prefer a more relaxed, mindful style. Options are given and requests are encouraged.
Each class is tailored to the group's needs. This is done in the spirit of yoga as a healing practice, where asanas (poses) are given for various conditions (ie, back pain, tight shoulders, etc.) Yoga works in subtle and profound ways. The more you listen your body’s needs... and the more supportive and deep your practice will become. Results include increased strength, flexibility, balance, & enhanced overall well being.
Overall, the goal is simple: To Feel Good! Strengthen, stretch, and smile your way into the day.

GUIDED MEDITATION (Yoga Nidra)
MONDAY & FRIDAY
10:40 - 11:25 AM (45 min)
You are encouraged to bring a pillow and/or blanket, or whatever will bring the most comfort, as you will laying on the floor for the duration of the practice.
Come experience the style of Guided Meditation called "YOGA NIDRA." Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. The term Yoga Nidra is derived from two Sanskrit words: yoga meaning union or one-pointed awareness, and nidra which means sleep. During the practice of Yoga Nidra, one appears to be asleep, but the consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness. In this threshold state between sleep and wake-fulness, contact with the subconscious and unconscious dimensions occurs spontaneously.
If the consciousness is able to be separated from external awareness and from sleep, it becomes very powerful and can be applied in many ways, for example, to develop the memory, increase knowledge and creativity, or transform one's nature. Yoga Nidra can be used for directing the mind to accomplish anything!

Yoga Nidra is a powerful form of guided meditation in which one learns to relax consciously. People may feel that they are relaxing when they collapse in an easy chair with their favorite drink, watch Netflix, and/or scroll through their cell phone. Yet this will never suffice as a scientific definition of relaxation. These are only sensory diversions. True relaxation is actually an experience far beyond all this. For absolute relaxation you must remain aware. This is Yoga Nidra, the state of dynamic sleep.
Through the practice of yoga nidra, we are not only relaxing, but restructuring and reforming from the inside- out. With every session we are burning old patterns, habits and tendencies in order to be born anew. This process is not only much quicker than other systems which work on an external basis only, but the results are also more reliable and permanent.
During Yoga Nidra you will become familiar with the variety of techniques that are used, including the following:
CREATING A RESOLVE
This is a short, positive, powerful statement of one's personal choosing. It is found by going into the heart, and discovering the heart's desire. This is an integral part of every practice, and is repeated at both the beginning and the end of the session. It is said that the resolve that one makes during Yoga Nidra is bound to come true in one's life.
ROTATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
This is the progressive movement of awareness through parts of the body. The neurosurgeon affects the body by stimulating the brain. The practitioner of Yoga Nidra begins at the other end of the nerve pathway, by heightening the awareness of the body in order to stimulate the brain.
This induces physical relaxation, and clears the nerve pathways to the brain, both those governing physical activity and those concerned with incoming information. It truly is a 'cleaning' of the brain from the inside-out!
BREATH AWARENESS
By practicing breath awareness, a state of sense withdrawal (pratyahara) and deep relaxation occur. Deep relaxation has been shown to be an altered state of perception. Once this state has been induced, the guided image visualization proceeds.
VISUALIZATION
Guided imagery in Yoga Nidra is a method of using a symbol (archetype) or image as a catalyst to provoke a reaction in the unconscious parts of the mind. The subconscious and unconscious material of the mind is awakened and released to become integrated into consciousness.

INTRODUCTION TO AYURVEDA WORKSHOP
Friday, September 30 from 1:00 - 4:00 PM
at The Studio at The Haven Wellness Resort & Spa
Ayurveda seeks to keep the mind, body & spirit in perfect equilibrium by examining the relationship one has with self, others, and their natural environment. Ayurveda examines human lifestyle practices in a holistic fashion by examining physical existence, mental existence, and personality as a unit, with each element being able to influence the others.
During this Introduction to Ayurvedic, we will identify and explore your dosha and the energies running different aspects of your being. The doshas are biological energies found throughout the human body and mind. They govern all physical and mental processes and provide every living being with an individual blueprint for health and fulfillment. The doshas are dynamic energies that constantly change in response to our actions, thoughts, emotions, the foods we eat, the seasons, and any other sensory inputs that feed our mind and body. When we live in alignment with our individual essences, we naturally make lifestyle and dietary decisions that foster balance within our doshas. When we live against our intrinsic natures, we support unhealthy patterns that lead to physical and mental imbalances.
Ayurveda empowers the individual to make the best choices for their unique individual blueprint and constitution in the areas of diet, types of exercise, self-care practices, and daily habits on a deeply personalized level.
Prior to class, students will be sent a Ayurvedic Questionnaire to determine your personal dosha.
Space for this workshop will be limited. Make a reservation with payment to ensure your spot! You may reserve through the reception at The Haven, with either cash or credit card payment; Or you pay reserve in person with Joy (cash only)

Community Christmas Party Hosted by Amigos de Boquete Comunidad
By Moderator_02,
Marcelyn and I attended this fabulous Christmas Party at La Posada Restaurant this afternoon. Besides the usual Christmas season festivities, one purpose for this party was to collect Christmas gifts for the local children. There was no entrance fee, but attendees were asked to bring wrapped Christmas gifts for distribution by the local churches. Our estimate is that about 50 people were in attendance, and all enjoyed the fantastic music of a seven member mariachi band. What a great performance on their part; they were very good at getting the attendees involved by singing and dancing with them. La Posada had extra waitstaff to take care of drink and food orders. The party was in a large room at the rear of La Posada -- could not have been a better venue for this kind of gathering.
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,
Marcelyn and I were participants in ARF's Thanksgiving Day event at the Animales Building. There was a LOT of VERY GOOD food, great conversations, visits with friends, etc. We estimate there were about 70 guests and maybe 15 worker-bees taking care of setting up, tending to the guests, etc. The background music was nice, and not so loud as to intrude into the conversations. The pecan pie was simply outstanding. Kudos to that chef! But I also do not want to take away from any of the other food items. I sampled all the food choices, and there was nothing to apologize for on that front.
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.

One Night in India
By JudyS,
I think $55 for one person is a lot of money to spend on a dinner in Boquete. I've never spent that much for an Indian dinner anywhere.
