  1. For the past 13 years I have been offering movement awareness lessons that help enhance balance and stability to the Boquete Community. Below is the link to an interview recently posted on my YouTube with Trish Christofferson (long time resident of Dolega) who shares her experience with movement lessons through the Zoom conference platform. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7xjoG2V9cs If you have any questions about schedules or exploring the possibility of a series of group or private lessons, you can contact me directly at: gbvdco@gmail.com or through WhatsApp at: 6678-3297.
  2. Movement Visualization Awareness can be enhanced with movement visualization when it is difficult to perform certain moves. This is a skill that can be easily developed though the Feldenkrais Technique and the practice of Tai Chi.

  4. Prevent premature aging of skin, muscles, joints and bones with the Feldenkrais Method and Alexander Technique. As you age you lose suppleness because the tissues in your body structure slowly dehydrate. How do you actually get to experience the dehydration? This is a reasonable question to have. You'll know because your joints start getting stiffer and it becomes more difficult to move your body. Some areas dehydrate faster than others, for instance the knees. Fortunately this natural aging process can be mitigated and even reversed with skillfully designed body movement sequences. A welcomed bonus of Feldenkrais & Alexander Technique lessons is that your body naturally starts getting re-hydrated. You'll experience that as a general softening of the body and an improvement in flexibility. This impacts in a positive way, directly in your skin, muscles, joints and bones. There are of course other important benefits like improvement of functional movement skills. You start noticing that you move with more ease, less effort & pain. A Feldenkrais lesson feels like giving yourself a massage. In this way you bring circulation to dehydrated stiff areas of your body. Add Alexander Technique intentional directions and you seal in the benefits of the Feldenkrais movement sequences. For more information about one-on-one and group lessons contact Andei (AKA Gilberto) through WhatsApp 6678-3297, gbvdco@gmail.com or Body Mind Dojo at Chiriqui Life. You can also join the ongoing group that meets Mondays from 11 am to 12.

  6. Meditation on the Five Elements is an introduction to the process of becoming familiar with the five elements. The idea is to learn to measure and use these organic qualities which are an integral part of our physical, mental and energetic nature. By knowing this qualitative scale, we can use it to design, heal, regulate and interact in our social and physical environments. The most practical way to do this is through a meditation on the energetic centers in our body or chakras as they are popularly known. By recognizing the basic qualities of the five elements present in nature, we can project them into our own energy centers. By feeling these qualities in our energy centers, we can begin to give more vital information to our central nervous system. This starts a process of rebalancing and balancing the vital and physical energy in our body. We can facilitate the process of meditation with a cocoa drink of ceremonial degree, which helps us to focus our mental energy on the chakras. If you're interested in the next Cacao Ceremonial introducing the 5 Elements Meditation, please contact me at gbvdco@gmail.com or 6678-3297.

  8. Feldenkrais Based Movement Identifying the source of discomfort and stress is a first step in learning how to release it. A Feldenkrais lesson will help you sense the contrast between the areas of pain/discomfort and relaxation in the body. Then you will discover how to allow your body to release unnecessary tensions that may be a painful obstacle to moving a particular area of the body. Tai Chi Chuan Tai Chi Chuan is a way of learning energetic principles, through a form or pattern of movements. When done on a regular basis, Tai Chi helps any person develop a more grounding and poise. Principles are studied first while standing or doing very simple movements that require a coordination between the movement of the pelvis, spine and the four limbs. As the student progresses in his practice he develops a sense of where he holds stress and tension that present obstacles to moving through the particular form being studied. Rubenfeld Synergy Method RSM introduces a means to connect sensations experienced as the body moves, with more intangible parts of ourselves: emotions and energy. Floor movement sequences or table work, using either Feldenkrais or Alexander techniques, promote awareness of discomfort and blockage in the body. Using verbal interventions, an RSM practitioner can help you discover, through dialogue, touch & movement, the significance of the sensation of pain or discomfort in a shoulder, for instance. In time, you will be able to understand the source of the physical and/or emotional & energy distress associated with pain or discomfort.
