THIS TRIP TO SAN CARLOS, PANAMA WILL BE GOOD FOR YOUR BONES - MARCH 22 TO 29, 2008

Ontario Premier Spas' Spa Train

Do you ever feel like your body does not move as freely as it could?

Do you ever feel like the chaos of everyday life is inhibiting your own personal growth and mobility?

Bones for Life is a program for stimulating bone strength through natural movement and weight-bearing posture. Created by world-renowned Feldenkrais (somatic movement education) trainer Ruthy Alon, the five-day program includes six nights of accommodation, all meals and four-hours of classes each day.

Classes are taught by Certified Bones for Life Trainer and Feldenkrais Practitioner Gretchen Langner. Since 2001, Gretchen has worked closely with Ruthy Alon as the U.S. Program Director of Bones for Life. This opportunity has deepened her understanding and enthusiasm to share and teach this work.

Host hotel is Finca La Maya, a lovely hacienda-style lodge in San Carlos, Panama, an hour's drive from Panama City. Learn how a simple movement can become an opportunity for insight into the organization of mind and body and our connections to our environment. "Bones for Life is essential for a life-long mastery of skeletal ergonomics and the art of sustainable movement and posture."

TRAVEL TIP

If you like to begin your day with a steaming cup of water and fresh lemon instead of coffee, you'll need to pack a lemon if you're heading to Mexico, Jamaica, Cuba and a number of other southern destinations. We're not sure why but many restaurants in these countries do not offer fresh lemon. Ask for lemon and you get lime, everytime. As you know, kick starting the day with a cup of hot water and fresh lemon helps promote healthy digestion and detoxification.

Be well, travel safe.
