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.

VINYASA HATHA YOGA
WEDNESDAY 11 AM
A carefully structured yoga sequence combining Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga that brings awareness to your breathing. It connects the movement of your body and your breath flowing from posture to posture. It will start with slow movements preparing the body for quicker transitions, almost like a choreography, and then it will bring you down to your normal breathing, bringing the mind and body to a more relaxed state so you can walk away, hopefully, with a smile on your face!

CHAIR YOGA
WEDNESDAY 2 PM Chair Yoga: A Gentle Path to Health and Wellness
Chair yoga is a gentle and accessible form of yoga that brings the profound benefits of this ancient practice to individuals who may have limited mobility, balance issues, or difficulty with traditional yoga poses. This unique variation of yoga is designed to be practiced while seated on a chair or using a chair for support, making it an ideal choice for people of all ages and physical abilities.
In Chair Yoga, practitioners experience the same mind-body benefits that traditional yoga offers, such as improved flexibility, reduced stress, enhanced focus, and increased mindfulness. However, it distinguishes itself in the following ways:
1. Accessibility: Chair yoga is incredibly inclusive, offering a safe and comfortable way for individuals with physical limitations, injuries, or mobility challenges to experience the numerous advantages of yoga. By using the chair as a prop, participants can adapt poses to their own needs and abilities, ensuring that everyone can participate.
2. Enhanced Stability: The chair provides a stable foundation, making it easier for individuals to maintain balance and prevent falls, which can be a concern for some in traditional yoga practices.
3. Gentle Movement: Chair yoga focuses on gentle movements and stretches that are easy on the joints, making it an excellent choice for those with arthritis or other joint issues.
4. Mindfulness and Relaxation: Chair yoga emphasizes deep breathing techniques and meditation, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. It's an excellent way to reduce stress and anxiety.
5. Improved Posture: By practicing chair yoga, participants can work on their posture, which can lead to reduced back pain and enhanced overall spinal health.
6. Strength and Flexibility: Chair yoga may be gentle, but it still helps improve strength and flexibility over time. The various poses and stretches work on different muscle groups, offering a balanced approach to physical well-being.
Chair yoga is an excellent option for individuals looking to experience the holistic benefits of yoga without the need for complex or strenuous poses. Whether you're a senior seeking improved mobility, someone recovering from an injury, or simply looking to relax and reduce stress, chair yoga offers a path to better physical and mental well-being that is approachable and welcoming to all. Join our Chair Yoga class and embark on a journey to a healthier, happier, and more balanced life.

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.
