Yoga In France
Yoga at the chateau with Dominique Brun, professor of Yoga since 1985.
Qualified at the Institute of Yoga-Therapy in Paris and at the Laughter
Yoga School of Dr Kataria (www.laughteryoga.org)
Dominique is a very experienced practitioner and specialises in stress
management and relaxation techniques.
Highly recommended - yoga sessions at the chateau. I
found her a strong but very calming presence, with her expert guidance
I felt relaxed but energised at the same time, if only I could practise
with her every day!” Vivy, Arlens, October 2007
Massage and Reflexology In France
Pamper yourself at the chateau with Véronique Lesage to relax the body,
ease stress, tension, and relieve your dancing aches and pains!
Walking and Cycling In The Gers
Walking and Cycling through endless scenic routes in the MOST beautiful
undulating countryside, nothing too steep or daunting and you can admire
the dramatic Pyrenees in the distance without having to toil up them!
All you need is a good pair of walking shoes and we can help the cyclists
with rentals in Plaisance, just 6km away. Routes and Maps provided.
"Walking and bicycling breaks in the Gers are a delight.
The terrain caters for all levels, routes are well marked, villages offer
glorious lunch breaks and peace, quiet and beauty compete for top billing.
And then to return to home-away-from-home Arlens......Bliss!” Anya, September
2007.
