Helping Juanita in Palmares :)

There is another club here in Costa Rica that is doing danish gymnastics! Last week Juanita invited us to help her out in her club in Palmares :) So we jumped on my bike and drove to Palmares where Juanita had organized everything for us to have a perfect stay! Juanita has studied different kind of physical and mental wellness around the world, and has now evolved her own way of training mind and body.

We were allowed to help out and show some of the danish gymnastics, like swing, balance and different exercises across the floor.

The ladies loved to make pyramides, so we finished off the class by making one!

The next morning Juanita had arranged for us to have a workshop at a local high school. This was a fun experience where hardly anyone could speak or understand english. They didn't have any equipment so we had planned some games and activities on the hard floor ;) Some activities like danish swing was difficult for many of them, and many kids didn't dare to try and just sat down to watch. It was difficult for us to make them join and try new things, but we improvised with different games and all in all it was a fun and good experience!

Later in the evening we teached in the club, and there everyone was motivated and happy to have us there! We had 3 different groups of young girls.

There was many girls on each team, and not too much space in the gym! I believe we had a total of around 60 gymnasts on the 3 different groups. It was so much fun, and we could see the joy in their faces!

The next morning there was a new class for body and mind ;)

We also had lots of fun with them!

And built more pyramids, haha!!

¡Muchissimas gracias Juanita!
