Yoga & Meditation
Resident Yoga Teacher
Dagmar is your resident yoga teacher. She qualified with the British Wheel of Yoga in 1981, and has taught for more than 25 years with Adult Education classes, sports centres and private classes.
Dagmar studied Iyengar for 3 years, and also Viniyoga, Sivananda and the Desikachar method. In her classes she combines elements of each, and adapts them as she finds suitable for the ability and needs of her students.
Yoga Classes
Each day you are invited to discover or regain healthy energy through guided yoga, aimed at developing the potential of the student.
Morning classes are from 9:30 to 10:30 am and evening classes from 6:00 to 7:00 pm. These classes are suitable for all levels, from experts to beginners. Dagmar combines all aspects of yoga from gentle to challenging. The absorbing atmosphere helps to focus and centre the individual, thus attaining the desired physical and mental state of well-being.
Yoga Studios
We have two large fully equipped yoga studios. One is situated on the top floor of the chateau, with French windows overlooking the estate and the spring-fed lake.
The other yoga studio is located in a renovated stone barn which is partly built into a dramatic vertical rock face; a perfect cool location for warm summer days.
You can breathe in the pure, invigorating mountain air, a gift and joy for the practice of Pranayama yogic breathing.
Meditation
To help you unwind and de-stress, Dagmar also offers guided meditation on Monday and Thursday evening from 9:30 to 10:00 pm. This can be an ideal introduction for beginners or a different approach for the adept.
Holistic Treatments
We have separate dedicated rooms to provide the following individual treatments :-
Reiki
an ancient hands-on healing system, based on channelling universal energy.
Gentle Massage
A relaxing massage combining elements of Swedish, Shiatsu (Pressure Points) and Asian techniques to achieve full body balance. The natural healing powers of essential oils penetrate the skin and enhance both physical and mental well-being.
Energetic Massage
A traditional relaxation massage incorporating long, smooth strokes to major muscle groups to promote relaxation, improve circulation of the life-energy and create an overall sense of well-being. The energy circuit is opened and the energy can flow again. For stress, headaches, tiredness, etc.
Asian Pressure Point Massage
For stress, muscular pain or restrictions in the circulation of life-energy.
Tachyon Treatment
Using TLC BARS (tachyonised crystals), energy will be directed to the painful areas, or pressure points in the body. This treatment is particularly effective for acute health problems, e.g. back pain, migraine, etc., and chronic physical and mental problems.
Foot Reflexology
Thumb and finger pressure are applied to specific points on the feet bringing welcome relief to corresponding regions of the body.
