AN AFTERNOON OF YOGA AND MEDITATION

Rabat, 31 July 2023 - In its continuing Gender and Development (GAD) agenda, the Philippine Embassy in Rabat organized in its gardens last Saturday, 29 July an afternoon of relaxation of mind and body in partnership with a group of members of the Filipino Community from Rabat, Takadoum and Temara. As partners in its GAD activities and programs, the mostly all-women overseas Filipinos (OFs) who participated learned from professional yoga instructor, Ms. Kawthar Bennani the basic meditation and simple yoga techniques to release tension from stress, release any physical pain (back pain, muscle aches) by connecting the body’s movements to breathing. Rabat PE’s gender-responsive service for this summer helps strengthen the participatory process particularly among women OFs in this country, in pursuit of the Department’s “client-focused” GAD Agenda.
