Sterk en ontspannen de zomer in

Restorative Alignment en Yin Yoga ontmoeten elkaar op de mat
Beide tradities hebben veel ingrediënten gemeen, daarom is het ook zo fijn om restorative ontspannen kracht en Yin Yoga af en toe te combineren.
Het vasthouden van een houding voor een langere tijd, het loslaten van spanning in het oppervlakkig en dieper bindweefsel en het begeleiden van een bewuste ademhaling door de verschillende ademhalingsruimtes is deel van Restorative Alignment en Yin Yoga.
Begin de zomer niet alleen met ontspannen, maar ook met het opbouwen van nieuwe kracht in het mentale, emotionele en fysieke lichaam.
Centraal gedurende deze 5 dagen staat "De mobilisatie van de wervelkolom” met het gebruik van de BackMitra.
Via de druk van de wervels op de Backmitra, door de zwaartekracht en de ademhaling kunnen vermoeide rugspieren ontspannen, waardoor de wervels en gewrichten ruimte krijgen om te bewegen.
Op deze manier kan een goede spierspanning en -kracht in de rug tot stand komen.
Als de rug licht en sterk aanvoelt geeft dit een positief effect op ons denken en kunnen emoties zich plaatsen in een nieuwe open ruimte.
Het wonderschone Zuid-Limburg, de gastvrijheid in Jardin Juliette en het samen zijn in deze prachtige tijd van het jaar heeft een genezende kracht op hart en ziel.

CDC extends travel mask requirement to May 3 as COVID rises
Passengers traveling on planes or public transportation will be required to continue using face masks for at least the next two weeks.
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it is extending the nationwide mask requirement for public transit for 15 days as it monitors an uptick in COVID-19 cases.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it was extending the order, which was set to expire on April 18, until May 3 to allow more time to study the BA.2 omicron subvariant that is now responsible for the vast majority of cases in the U.S.
“In order to assess the potential impact the rise of cases has on severe disease, including hospitalizations and deaths, and health care system capacity, the CDC order will remain in place at this time,” the agency said in a statement.
When the Transportation Security Administration, which enforces the rule for planes, buses, trains and transit hubs, extended the requirement last month, it said the CDC had been hoping to roll out a more flexible masking strategy that would have replaced the nationwide requirement.
The mask mandate is the most visible vestige of government restrictions to control the pandemic, and possibly the most controversial. A surge of abusive and sometimes violent incidents on airplanes has been attributed mostly to disputes over mask-wearing.
Critics have seized on the fact that states have rolled back rules requiring masks in restaurants, stores and other indoor settings, and yet COVID-19 cases have fallen sharply since the omicron variant peaked in mid-January.
There has been a slight increase in cases in recent weeks, driven by the BA.2 strain, with daily confirmed cases nationwide rising from about 25,000 per day to more than 30,000. Those figures are an undercount since many people now test positive on at-home tests that are not reported to public health agencies.
Severe illnesses and deaths tend to lag infections by several weeks. The CDC is awaiting indications of whether the increase in cases correlates to a rise in adverse outcomes before announcing a less restrictive mask policy for travel.

9. A beach town on Mexico’s Pacific Coast is a haven for the L.G.B.T.Q. community. But can it last?
For decades, Zipolite has been a popular destination for the queer community, which has been drawn to its bohemian spirit and one of Mexico’s rare nude beaches.
But the town is starting to transform: Foreigners are snatching up land, hotels are multiplying, influencers are flocking to the beach, and many residents and visitors now fear that what once made Zipolite magical could be lost for good.

MEXICO DISPATCH This Beach in Mexico Is an L.G.B.T.Q. Haven. But Can It Last? The town of Zipolite has become an oasis for the queer community. But as its popularity has surged, some worry that the town’s spirit is beginning to vanish.
MEXICO DISPATCH
This Beach in Mexico Is an L.G.B.T.Q. Haven. But Can
It Last?
The town of Zipolite has become an oasis for the queer community. But as its popularity has surged, some worry that the town’s spirit is beginning to vanish.
ZIPOLITE, Mexico — When the sun starts to slip toward the ocean in this idyllic beach town on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, a quiet migration begins. Groups of people, most of them gay men, many of them naked, amble down the beach toward a soaring rocky outcrop.
They climb a winding staircase, over the ragged cliff and down to a hidden cove known as Playa del Amor, or beach of love. As the sun becomes an orange orb, the sky turns to lilac, and the many naked bodies, Black and bronze, curvy and chiseled, are brushed in gold. When it finally dips into the water, the crowd erupts in applause.
“Playa del Amor at sunset, the first time I saw it I truly felt like crying,” said Roberto Jerr, 32, who has been visiting Zipolite for five years. “It’s a space where you can be very free.”
Roberto Jerr said the nudism at Zipolite allows for a deep sense of freedom. “To me it is beautiful to be able to go to the beach and not put anything on.”
For decades, this former fishing village turned hippie hangout has been an oasis for the queer community, which is drawn to its golden beaches, countercultural vibe and a practice of nudism that embraces bodies of all different shapes.
But as its popularity has grown, attracting increasing numbers of gay and straight visitors, the town is starting to transform: Foreigners are snatching up land, hotels are multiplying, influencers are flocking to the beach and many residents and visitors now fear that what once made Zipolite magical could be lost for good.

“Everyone in the community should visit a place where they can feel comfortable, where they can feel free, like Zipolite,” said Mr. Jerr, who is gay. “But on the other hand, there’s also this other part, this ultramass tourism that starts to leave places without resources.”
Once a community of farmers and fishermen, Zipolite became a popular destination for European hippies and backpackers starting in 1970, when many came to the beaches of Oaxaca state for an exceptionally clear view of a solar eclipse. Hippie tourism gave the town a bohemian spirit — it’s one of Mexico’s few nude beaches — that also began attracting queer people, who were welcomed by most residents. In February, Zipolite elected the first openly gay person to head the town council.

Such tolerant attitudes are rare outside of big cities in Mexico, where conservative Catholic values persist. Despite gay marriage being legalized in more than half the country, homophobic and transphobic violence is common. Between 2016 and 2020, some 440 lesbian, gay and transgender people were killed across the country, according to Letra Ese, an advocacy group in Mexico City.
David Montes Bernal, 33, grew up a few hours from Zipolite in a conservative community where machismo and homophobia were entrenched. When he was about 9, the town priest performed what he called “practically an exorcism” to force the homosexuality out of him.
“That’s when I realized that it was a hostile place,” Mr. Bernal said.
David Montes Bernal said his family tried to perform something like an exorcism on him when he was a child.
In Zipolite, he has found a place where he can be comfortable in his sexuality and secure in his body.
“I felt a kind of hope,” Mr. Bernal said of his first visit in 2014. “Finally it seems like now there’s a place where we can be whoever we want.”
As word of this openness has spread, the town’s L.G.B.T.Q. population has surged: gay bars and hotels have multiplied, rainbow flags are commonplace.
But, as accepting as many locals are, some feel that Zipolite’s identity as a laid-back town that welcomes anyone from Mexican families to Canadian retirees is being eroded, that it is transforming into a gay party town.
Miguel Ángel Ziga Aragón, a local resident who is gay himself and goes by “La Chavelona,” has watched the local economy boom, not just because of gay tourism but from a surge in tourism generally. While once hosting mostly rustic cabins and hammocks along the beach, Zipolite’s tourism scene has become what he calls “more V.I.P.”: Beachfront suites now go for as much as $500 a night.
Miguel Ángel Ziga Aragón said he is influenced by the Muxe community of Oaxaca, which recognizes a third gender: people who are assigned male at birth but take on female gender roles and dress.
The growth in tourism in Zipolite reflects a statewide trend in Oaxaca: From 2017 to 2019, income from the hotel industry rose by more than a third to nearly $240 million. In the same period, the number of tourists visiting hotels in the coastal region that includes Zipolite grew by almost 40 percent to about 330,000 people, according to government figures.
“It’s a change that’s good for the economy, but not so good for the community,” Mr. Ziga Aragón said.
Along with an identity crisis, many fear an environmental one. Mangroves have been built over; the wildlife is disappearing. Residents complain of a lack of running water, which could be worsened by greater development.
Blanca Sánchez, originally from Spain, has lived in Zipolite for four years. She said she likes being near nature and came for the nudism.
While most residents agree that more planning is needed, some say the transformation is inevitable.
“It’s the life cycle of every tourist destination,” said Elyel Aquino Méndez, who runs a gay travel agency. “You have to take advantage of the opportunity.”
But others fear that Zipolite could go the way of many Mexican beach towns that have become thriving resorts, like the popular gay destination of Puerto Vallarta or, more recently, Tulum. Once a bohemian paradise, the Caribbean beach of Tulum has become a lucrative real estate market filled with luxury hotels, celebrity influencers and, increasingly, violence.
Pouria Farsani, 33, who lives in Stockholm, enjoyed the combination of beautiful nature and fun partying when he first visited Tulum in 2018, but by the time he went back last September found that it felt “like a party-colonized part of Mexico.”
The body positivity in Zipolite is partly what makes the nudist beach special to many, gay or straight: For Pouria Farsani, who has alopecia, a hair loss condition, it was particularly profound.
Mr. Farsani heard about Zipolite from some Mexican friends and visited for the first time in January 2021 — he was enchanted.
“When I’ve seen other gay scenes, it’s been very stereotypical,” he said. “What was going on here was people of all body shapes, ages, socioeconomic status, all of us could gather here.”

“I’m very happy with my body, but I’m not the Ken-doll type,” he said. “It scares people in Europe, while here my alopecia is nothing more than it makes me stand out a little more.”

Still, as Zipolite’s popularity has grown, its hippie vibe is shifting. Bars are louder, restaurants are becoming swankier. The L.G.B.T.Q. tourism is changing too, becoming increasingly Americanized, less diverse.
Ivanna Camarena, a transgender woman, spent six months in Zipolite last year and met only a handful of other transgender people. “The bodies were very athletic and very masculine,” she said of the people she saw on the beach in her first few months there.
She recalled going to a nudist party that was almost exclusively gay men. “When I got there it was like ‘Wow what is a trans woman doing here?’ Like, they were weirded out.”

Among the noticeable shifts is what has happened at Playa del Amor, which once hosted bonfires and guitar playing and now often has laser lights and D.J.s playing house music. People used to chat across different social groups; now, the beach has become more segregated into cliques.
“It’s like the cafeteria in ‘Mean Girls,’” said Daniel Zamora, a former drag queen turned tarot card reader who lives near Playa del Amor.
The sex scene has evolved too. While visitors, including straight couples, have engaged in sex on the beach after dark for decades, in recent years it has become more brazen, with dance parties sometimes morphing into group sex in the shadows.
“Every time it’s more hedonistic, more hedonistic, more hedonistic,” said Ignacio Rubio Carriquiriborde, a sociology professor at Mexico’s National Autonomous University who has studied Zipolite for years. “Now there’s more a dynamic of constant partying.”
Some people fear that Zipolite could go the way of many Mexican beach towns that have become thriving resorts.
Many residents have grown uncomfortable, and the town council recently voted to enforce a 9 p.m. beach curfew to curb such activities.
“One thing is freedom and another thing is debauchery,” Mr. Ziga Aragón said. “You can have sex with whoever you want, but in private.”
For others, the concern is more environmental. Miguel Ángel López Méndez runs a small hotel near Playa del Amor, and says that revelers often leave the beach a mess. Once, while diving off the cove, he recalled seeing condoms floating “like jellyfish.”
“Everyone is free to do whatever they want with their body,” he said. “The problem is that there’s no awareness.”
For some gay men, the open sexuality of Playa del Amor is part of its power.

“From when you’re a kid, you’re forbidden from so many things: ‘Don’t be like that,’ ‘Don’t say this,’ ‘Don’t do that,’” said Mr. Bernal, who lives in the nearby town of Puerto Ángel. “Suddenly, with sex being an act of catharsis, so many things are liberated.”
Still, Mr. Bernal also worries for the future of the town, where tourism is booming, natural resources are scarce, and so many foreigners are buying up properties that the price of land has become largely unaffordable for locals.
“Everyone comes here on vacation to consume something,” he said. “A piece of the beach, a piece of your body, a piece of the party, a piece of nature.”
Playa del Amor lit by only candles last year. These days, the beach hut has electricity and often uses multicolored club lights.
