Teacher/Teachings

Alison Burns has been a practising yogini for more than 30 years. She is a British Wheel trained teacher, influenced by B.K.S. Iyengar who developed a form of practice that pays close attention to the alignment of the body and the therapeutic possibilities of yoga.

Facilities

Château du Fraissinet is set is six acres of beautiful grounds on the edge of the Cévennes hills. Yoga will be in the dedicated studio, poolside or on our covered Garden Terrace with stunning views.
The Gardon river, perfect for quiet mediatation/contemplation or swimming and paddling runs alongside the grounds. There is also a swimming pool which includes a heated spa pool. An infra-red sauna and hammam are new this year and included in the price of the holidays. We also have two friendly donkeys and a vegetable plot where much of the organic vegetables you will be served are grown.
