    A Chat at the Boquete Library with Suzanna Clare. "I will talk about each modality and how they synergistically work together to soothe and strengthen one's nervous system & support one's health and well-being. I will also demonstrate several hand placements for CST, Somatic Movement Exercises & the joint manipulations performed during the Therapeutic Massage portion of the session."
  3. Please can you send me a photo? Is there a face piece and a carrying case? How much is it please? Please reply directly to me at suzeclare@gmail.com Muchas Gracias!

  5. At Pilates at the Haven. It's not about Exercising Harder, but Moving Smarter with Good Form. Now 2 Class levels- 4 mornings weekly! Pilates Basics- Becoming body & movement aware as we're sitting on a ball, standing & going down to a mat on the floor. Developing strength, flexibility, better balance, good posture, coordination, grace and fluidity.

Ongoing classes M-W-F, 10 til 11:15 a.m. Intermediate Pilates- For those with exercise & movement experience, who seek an intelligent work-out. Not just working hard to burn calories, but to develop greater movement skills and abilities and to maintain or acquire good, or better posture. Ongoing classes, Mondays and Thursdays, 8:30 til 9:45 a.m. All in the fabulous, fully equipped Pilates/Yoga/ Fitness Studio at the Haven in Bajo Boquete. Classes $9 each for residents, $10 each for tourists & guests. Two class packages are available- $30 for 4 classes [mandatory to be taken in a month], and unlimited classes in a month for $75.

    Pilates at the Haven is much more than Just a mat class! Now... On 4 weekday mornings- M &Th., 8:30-9:45, & W & F., 10- 11:15 a.m. "A more appropriate title might be "Body in Motion." In addition to Classical Pilates and Yoga stretches, Exploratory Movement exercises are included in the format to add a therapeutic dimension. "As we age we all become imperfect; due to injuries, surgeries, emotional traumas, diseases and/or simply preferring one side of our body over the other. Doing fast, strenuous, repetitious movements serve to reinforce these asymmetries creating greater imbalances & eventually pain. Thus, therapeutic movement is included in the class format, to slow down and heighten our awareness of the body and how we are moving. We do mat Pilates during the last portion of the class, after performing wall, ball, walking, balancing, and weight sequences. Each class incorporates a diverse format for overall muscular strength, flexibility, balance, core strength, coordination, awareness, grace & good posture. All classes hold everyone's attention as they are a creative mix of a broad repertoire of possibilities."- Suzanne Clare, Certified Pilates Instructor. So,,,if you're looking to have a hard work-out & nothing more, Pilates at the Haven is not for you. Or if you're seeking all slow and relaxing movements, these classes too, will not suit you. However, if you're looking for a good work-out, to experience lots of diversity and to become more aware and precise in how you move... You found your class and you're welcome to join us! Student Comments- "I come to class as I like having a teacher to look at me & correct what I'm doing. When I exercise on my own, I don't do anything new. Too, I know I need to be doing whatever I'm doing totally right to be good for my body. I've learned in class it's all about presence and form."- Alie M.- Pilates student of 6+ years. "Pilates is a wake-up call for my body. It's like we begin doing something new & my body says "Wow, I forgot that I use to be able to move in this way." Suzanne has shown me how often when I think I'm doing something correctly, I may not be moving in the right way, but moving in a way that's become habit & which I'm not aware of at all. Pilates has brought me back in touch with my body, and it feels great."- Julie A., a student who just began her 6th month of classes. " Pilates is a great work-out. It's keeping me strong & fit, which is especially what I want as I'm aging. I'm now 76 years old & sure don't want to lose it." -Judy S., Pilates student for 3+ years, who devotedly comes 2 x weekly. "I love and enjoy your classes. Find it "complete" and "balanced". Flexibility, strength and grace. Thank you."- Beba M.. a Panamanian student who really fits with the format as she was a gymnast when young. Ongoing Group Classes are on 4 Weekday mornings- Mondays and Thursdays, 8:30- 9:45 a.m. & on Wednesdays and Fridays, 10- 11:15 a,m. Classes held in the beautiful Yoga/Pilates Studio at the Haven. Private Classes- for those not into group exercise or who want special attention- are also available. Individual classes are $9 each for residents & $10 for tourists & guests. Two packages are available for everyone- 4 classes for $30 & an unlimited class package for $72; both to be taken within a month. 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! "Having been an instructor & passionate about movement for many years in many ways, I've learned Our Body/Mind has a multitude of needs as we age. To work toward filling these needs, the Pilates classes at the Haven are very diverse & an eclectic mix of several modalities." -Suzanne Clare, Certified Pilates instructor at the Haven, teaching movement & exercise for 27+ years, a former Lic. Massage Therapist for 30 years and a Certified Yoga Therapist since 1991. Interested, but have questions?

  8. Andei- Great introduction to your work and what all you offer. I look forward to attending.
  9. I have been taking Andei's classes for quite a few months and feel he is a marvelous instructor. And being a practitioner of 27 years, with lots of teachers and workshops behind me, think he's at least as good as- if not better than, the best of them. I feel grateful to have him and this quality class be available here in Boquete

    Everyone has some sort of asymmetry in his or her body. The past creeps up; injuries and muscular/skeletal imbalances progress. Perhaps some muscles and/or joints are overworked and painful, whereas others are undeveloped and out of ones awareness. Enter Pilates to acquaint you with your weaknesses as well as your strengths. Pilates teaches You how to tune into and turn on your muscles to move with greater ease and perform whole body movement. Pilates Shows the Way to Work On and Improve Whatever Shape You're In.. The Pilates System of Exercise is broad and diverse, makes anatomical sense, and is perfectly symmetrical. All movement is led from the core strengthening the abdomen and the muscles protecting the spine. Posture improves, muscles are lengthened and strengthened, one gains greater control of his/her movement as awareness deepens, and the breath becomes longer and more relaxed. Overall, the body and mind become better integrated producing a greater state of harmony and well-being. Pilates on the Ball! is Great Fun and a Terrific Total Body Work-out! Classes are always changing and expanding to keep your mind continually learning and incorporating more of your body. Pilates at the Haven. A perfect venue for a fabulous exercise System adaptable for every stage of life. Classes are 75 minutes long. M &Th, 8:30 til 9:45 a.m.,. Wed. 10 til 11:15 a.m and Sat., 10:30 til 11:45.

    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.

    The New! Saturday 10:30- 11:45 a.m. Mat Class will instruct the Classic mat series, emphasizing the Pilates Principles of concentration, control, precision, flow, and proper breathing. Mat work specifically works the core or what Pilates referred to as the “powerhouse,” simultaneously strengthening and stretching the total body creating long, lean muscles. It also emphasizes the thighs and hamstrings, stretching and strengthening the anterior and posterior muscles of the upper-legs. Warm-up exercises will be done standing at the wall and/or facing the mirror, to observe and perfect one's form. We will begin with doing the exercises at the beginner's level. Those who can will be shown how to progress. In this manner all levels and abilities of students can work together. Variations will also be shown- utilizing props- for those with physical limitations. To whatever degree each person can perform each exercise, he or she is learning and doing Pilates. It is inevitable that with time, patience and practice, each student will acquire better concentration, control and form. Classes may be joined anytime. Regular attendance is preferred to progress with the class as it moves through the series. However, information regarding all levels of Pilates mat classes can also be attained on you-tube, to enhance one's attendance. The Teaser- An Advanced Classic Pilates Mat exercise. A number of variations of this exercise done at the beginner and intermediate levels [with or without props] tone the muscles and prepare the practitioner to eventually perform the full execution.. Notice the perfect symmetry of the entire body. The legs and lower back are long and strong as are her abdominal muscles. The shoulders and hips are square, and her arms perfectly parallel her legs. Too, her head and neck are connected with the spine, as her chest is lifted and she is looking forward at her toes. The demonstrator has control of her total body. All classes are $9 each, or a 4 class package can be purchased for $30, to be taken within a month. An unlimited class package is also available for $72. Holiday special for NEW Students! 4 Classes to be taken in 2 weeks for $24. All props are provided. However, do bring a Yoga mat if you have one, to be guaranteed two for comfort, when we go down to the floor. Interested, - but have questions?
