BLUME Workshops - as always a Hit!

Johanna Quaas: Coordination training with a chair

As always, the BLUME Festival Week also includes an extensive offer for the "Best Ager", which is summarized in the fitness industry under "50⁺ ". For this particularly active group of dynamic seniors, BLUME offers variable workshop with imaginative content.
For example, the world's oldest competitive gymnast Johanna Quaas from Halle / Sa in Germyny took the opportunity to gradually regain her amazing ability in spite of her biceps tendon rupture in early November, and a few days after her 93^rd birthday. Next she wanted to use the possibility of "aqua gymnastics" here in Maspalomas but also in the morning a normal "BLUME Day" day begins with actions for early risers:
♦ The sun in the morning is greeted with qigong ...

.... and after breakfast you can use the variety of workshop offers,
for instance "Chair Gymnastics".

Recommendations also for the home training on simple chairs: Johanna Quaas (middle of the picture) developed with her 93 years also here an amazing mobility ...

Very popular is always the tendon and band gentle aqua gymnastics in the water of the neat pool of the district San Fernando of Maspalomas

If you like it much more sweaty, go to the incomparable, dynamic "Fitness-Queen" with hot-blooded South American roots, to Angela Dittrich-Orozco (in the red shirt).

* B O U L E - is a collective name for a wide range of games similar to bowls and bocce (In French: jeu or jeux, in Italian: gioco or giochi) in which the objective is to throw or roll heavy balls (called boules in France, and bocce in Italy) as close as possible to a small target ball.
... but BOULE was also a part of the BLUME workshop offer ...:

♦♦ Anyone visiting the BLUME Festival will experience it
a Rendezvous of hearts, souls, bodies and senses,
.... more than just sun, beach and sea only!

But the most important thing about the BLUME-Festival is the synthesis of fun, movement and social interaction between people from many countries and cultures.
BLUME is the "Festival with Heart" - un Festival con Corazon"!

Many thanks to a dedicated team of 14 lecturers from four nations, led by Traude KELL and Dr. Detlef SCHMIDT filled the workshops with content and life, and came together at a festive table at the end of this BLUME Festival week:
