Les Passeroses is a beautiful old farmhouse which has been lovingly and wonderfully restored. Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, Passeroses means Hollyhocks. You will see many of these lovely flowers around the walls during summer.
This region is famed for the quality of its light, a luminosity that draws artists and photographers from far afield. There is a clarity which comes from the nearby ocean, combined with a warm inland glow that produces amber light which softens the contours and gives a magical radiance to any stone that it falls upon.
Set in the very heart of rural Charente, Les Passeroses is ideally located - not only for its position between five airports, good road networks and train communications - but also for its peace and quiet! The beautiful rolling countryside is mainly used for crops rather than pasture. Vines, maize and sunflowers fill almost every field from May through to October.

Set low into the side of a hill the house enjoys great privacy. During your free time you can swim, walk explore or just chill out. There is a large oval swimming pool next to the house with views from the terrace over the rolling hills. Here you can relax in the shade, in the comfort of the hammocks.
Steps down from the pool terrace lead you past the large fig tree and down to mature gardens. A bench is situated by the calming Japanese inspired pond - formed from a very old 'Lavoir' or stone washing pit - but there are also many other places to sit quietly and enjoy the shaded tranquillity or find personal space, including the 1 1/2 acre meadow.
Pilates & Yoga On Your Pilates Holiday & Yoga Retreat
This will be a fun and energising Pilates Holiday and Yoga Retreat, suitable for practioners of all levels. Through a varied practice we will have the opportunity to explore Yoga/Pilates in its fuller sense. There are times in life when we need to let go, relax and unwind, others when we look to energise and reconnect with the bigger picture. Our moods, the stresses of life, the seasons and many other factors can affect how we feel. Pilates and Yoga enables people to detect and correct imbalances that relate to stress, nutrition, learning problems, minor injuries and other issues they meet in their daily life.
During this Pilates Holiday and Yoga Retreat week we will look at ways in which we can use our Yoga/Pilates to improve our everyday living. You will leave with restored energy levels, a renewed vibrancy and a relaxed mind and body. Reconnect with your inner light and experience body brightness.

You will do your daily Pilates and Yoga practice in an 8x9 meter barn that has been beautifully transformed in to a Yoga studio with solid oak floors and a dramatic tented ceiling. Sunlight floods the space from three huge windows with panoramic views of the countryside.
Accommodation on your Pilates Holidays and Yoga Retreat
The accommodation at Les Passeroses is beautiful and every attention to detail has been taken. Accommodation in the main house for ten people is spread over five rooms, each with its own character.
Additional accommodation for a further 6 people is available just a few minutes' walk along the country lane in the beautifully converted stables.
Though decorated and furnished in a simple style, the finish and details gives each room a luxury feel. All rooms have views over the rolling countryside and windows covered with blue shutters. Fine, crisp bed linen and super soft towels are standard for every guest.
Food on your Pilates Holidays and Yoga Retreats
Food is very important at Les Passeroses and of course, healthy and delicious. All meals are home cooked and vegetarian. Wine is available for purchase with dinner.
Alex has worked with food for nearly 20 years, firstly training to be a Chef in some of the best restaurants in Manchester and Cheshire including The Lime Tree and The Alderley Edge Hotel. He has also set up several kitchens and his own vegetarian food business.
There is a small kitchen area available for students to use where tea and coffee is provided.
Massage and Treatments on your Pilates Holidays and Yoga Retreat
A local English therapist Jan Randall will arrange appointments for her wonderful treatments. Jan offers blissful Aromatherapy Massages, Reflexology and Therapeutic Massage and hot stones!
"I spent an idyllic weekend with a group of 9 from North West Pilates Centre. Fantastic location in the south of France. We stayed in a stunning house and were fed beautiful home cooked food. Therapist was available to perform massages. My aromatherapy massage was out of this world. Nisha put together an absolutely brilliant set of classes which pushed us mentally and physically at the right time throughout the weekend. I have come home completely restored and feeling like a new woman. Can't wait for the next one." - Pilates holiday and yoga retreat client Claire Sumner
Activities and excursions on your pilates holidays and yoga retreat
During your free time on your Pilates holiday and Yoga Retreat you can choose to swim, walk, and bike or explore further afield. Mountain bikes are available to use at no charge.
If you fancy exploring, the nearby town of Montmoreau boasts one the largest and most important churches on the pilgrimage route of Santiago de la Compostelle, along with an impressive and recently restored Chateau. A lively town with a train station (you can catch a train to nearby Angouleme or Bordeaux here), bars and restaurants, it is only a few minutes away from Les Passeroses.
If you wish to venture further afield, you will find the country roads wind over wooded hills and sun-flowered valleys to reach the hearts of rural villages; each with at least an 11/12th century church, a 17th century manor or impressive Chateau. Nonac is a good example - a small sleepy village with a small church and a crypt housing a beautiful fresco.

GYROKINESIS® - "Spinal Revolution A Breakthrough In Back Science".
The thoracic spine is built for rotation, flexion, and extension. It is highly mobile - or, rather, it has the potential for lots of mobility. Because of its mobility, the thoracic spine must be used, must be moved. But it has to be known.
If people are unable to visualize and feel the movement of the thoracic spine, or if they're unable to even grasp the concept of its existence, they'll just attempt to twist, rotate, flex, and bend with something familiar to them: the lumbar spine. That's bad news.
A movement system that gently works the entire body opening energy pathways through rhythmic, spiraling movements.
Fluid movements that feel like dance are smoothly and harmoniously connected through the use of breath, utilizing low stools and mats. All fitness levels, from novice to professional, can benefit from this system.
Everyone new will need to learn the foundations of good alignment before attending any of the classes on the timetable, unless you are very experienced in Pilates. We advise a private consultation or any of the starter packages.

A New Year, A New You.
A New Year, A New You.
Book your classes online now!
Dear nisha
A new year's resolution is a noteworthy concept-start off the year with a change for the better. So how did it devolve into a subconscious exercise in self-loathing? Lose 10 pounds! (Message to self: You're fat.) Stop drinking caffeine! (You're unhealthy.) Call Mom and Dad once a week! (You're ungrateful.) Why not celebrate this new year by trading in your tired (and probably familiar) resolutions for a sankalpa instead?
POSITIVE POWER A Sanskrit word, sankalpa means "will, purpose, or determination." To make a sankalpa is to set an intention-it's like a New Year's resolution with a yogic twist. While a resolution often zeros in on a perceived negative aspect of ourselves (as in, "I want to lose weight, so no more chocolate chip cookies or ice cream or cheese"), a sankalpa explores what's behind the thought or feeling ("I crave chocolate chip cookies or ice cream or cheese when I'm feeling stressed or sad. I will set an intention to become conscious of this craving and allow my feelings to arise and pass, rather than fill up on fats").
EFFORT COUNTS A sankalpa also praises the nobility of the effort rather than focusing on what you are doing wrong. "New Year's resolutions leave me feeling guilty and mad at myself for not keeping them," says Wendy McClellan, a yoga teacher in Louisville, Kentucky. So, last year, in a conscious effort to reject the resolution rut, she taught a special New Year's Eve yoga class and encouraged students to look back and let go. Her intention, or sankalpa? To open her heart to new possibilities. "An intention has much more of a global sense than a resolution," she says. "It helps me be softer with myself." With a sankalpa, the self-loathing that comes from dwelling on past transgressions can begin to dissolve. In its place is an exercise in effort and surrender-create an intention and open yourself to the universe. Sankalpa Setting
LOOK INWARD For several days, set aside time to write in a journal and meditate. Mull over your typical resolutions. How do they make you feel? Anxious? Unsettled? Incomplete? Now contemplate how you would like to feel during the coming year. Is there any way you can reframe your results-oriented resolutions into something that will make this year's journey more joyful and worthwhile?
REPHRASE IT Create a short sentence or phrase for your sankalpa. Be careful not to set limitations based on fear. For example, instead of "May life bring me only happiness and joy this year" consider "May I be happy and open to what life brings me."
BE FIRM BUT FAIR Change doesn't happen overnight. When you stray from the essence of your sankalpa, don't berate yourself. Instead, gently remind yourself of your intention. But be firm in your resolve-it's a good idea to incorporate your sankalpa into yoru daily routine. Use it as a mantra during pranayama or meditation practice; post it on your computer, phone, or mirror; or simply say it to yourself quietly before going to sleep. -C.G

Eileen has a keen interest in fitness and has participated in various forms of exercise since the age of 18. She started doing JAG Popmobility at the age of 18 and soon became part of the display team touring the North West doing fitness displays. She soon found an interest in weight training, training regularly at a local gym in Warrington.
Over the years Eileen became interested in various forms of exercise including, Aerobics, Boxercise, Circuit Training and Step to name but a few and did her Gym Instructors Course in 1998. She worked for various fitness companies in the evenings as a class assistant and stand in instructor teaching various classes over the years.
She took up Yoga in 2003 and soon became interested in the practice of Iyengar Yoga and went on to practice Yoga at the North West Yoga and Pilates Centre. Having practiced Yoga Fusion with Nisha Srivastava for 18 months Eileen took up the practice of Pilates on the V2 Max Reformer in 2009 and combined this with Yoga and running as her main focus of training.
In gaining the positive benefits of physical, mental and spiritual improvements from training in the various disciplines, and fortified by a second Yoga retreat in France in May 2011, Eileen made the decision to take the next step and train as an instructor, hoping to pass on the benefits she has experienced. Eileen enrolled on the STOTT Intermediate Mat Pilates course in September 2011 and intends to enrol on a Yoga Teachers course in 2012 with a view to teaching both disciplines as a career.

So, last year, in a conscious effort to reject the resolution rut, she taught a special New Year's Eve yoga class and encouraged students to look back and let go. Her intention, or sankalpa? To open her heart to new possibilities. "An intention has much more of a global sense than a resolution," she says. "It helps me be softer with myself." With a sankalpa, the self-loathing that comes from dwelling on past transgressions can begin to dissolve. In its place is an exercise in effort and surrender-create an intention and open yourself to the universe. Sankalpa Setting
LOOK INWARD For several days, set aside time to write in a journal and meditate. Mull over your typical resolutions. How do they make you feel? Anxious? Unsettled? Incomplete? Now contemplate how you would like to feel during the coming year. Is there any way you can reframe your results-oriented resolutions into something that will make this year's journey more joyful and worthwhile?
REPHRASE IT Create a short sentence or phrase for your sankalpa. Be careful not to set limitations based on fear. For example, instead of "May life bring me only happiness and joy this year" consider "May I be happy and open to what life brings me."
BE FIRM BUT FAIR Change doesn't happen overnight. When you stray from the essence of your sankalpa, don't berate yourself. Instead, gently remind yourself of your intention. But be firm in your resolve-it's a good idea to incorporate your sankalpa into yoru daily routine. Use it as a mantra during pranayama or meditation practice; post it on your computer, phone, or mirror; or simply say it to yourself quietly before going to sleep. -C.G

GYROKINESIS® - "Spinal Revolution A Breakthrough In Back Science".
The thoracic spine is built for rotation, flexion, and extension. It is highly mobile - or, rather, it has the potential for lots of mobility. Because of its mobility, the thoracic spine must be used, must be moved. But it has to be known.
If people are unable to visualize and feel the movement of the thoracic spine, or if they're unable to even grasp the concept of its existence, they'll just attempt to twist, rotate, flex, and bend with something familiar to them: the lumbar spine. That's bad news.
A movement system that gently works the entire body opening energy pathways through rhythmic, spiraling movements.
Fluid movements that feel like dance are smoothly and harmoniously connected through the use of breath, utilizing low stools and mats. All fitness levels, from novice to professional, can benefit from this system.
Everyone new will need to learn the foundations of good alignment before attending any of the classes on the timetable, unless you are very experienced in Pilates. We advise a private consultation or any of the starter packages.

Dear nisha
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has spoken very positively about his recovery from the groin injury which saw him miss the last part of the 2010/11 season.
Gerrard is confident on making the start of the new season in August and says he is in top shape right now after a new fitness regime involving yoga.
Steven Gerrard
"My groin feels so good just now," he said. "For two or three hours each day I will have to work on my body to make sure I am right,. But I don't see that as a chore. This is me getting right for Liverpool Football Club.
"I have started doing yoga a couple of times a week as well. It absolutely wipes you out. People who think you turn up and you're just posing in different shapes should have a go!"
Gerrard was forced to use crutches for several weeks following the injury sustained in early March, and can't wait to resume training.

He added, "I am enjoying it after the sessions because I am feeling the benefits. I've not kicked a ball for a long time, probably the longest I have gone in my career, and I can't wait to get back now."
"I am excited about playing under Kenny Dalglish, just like the team did at the end of the season, which was going forward. We were playing with bottle and character and going all out to beat teams. And that always suits my style of playing."

For most people it is a way of toning the limbs and soothing the stresses of everyday life, but the Catholic Church's best-known exorcist says yoga is evil.
Father Gabriele Amorth, the official exorcist of Vatican City
Father Gabriele Amorth, who for years was the Vatican's chief exorcist and claims to have cleansed hundreds of people of evil spirits, said yoga is Satanic because it leads to a worship of Hinduism and "all eastern religions are based on a false belief in reincarnation".
Reading JK Rowling's Harry Potter books is no less dangerous, said the 86-year-old priest, who is the honorary president for life of the International Association of Exorcists, which he founded in 1990, and whose favourite film is the 1973 horror classic, The Exorcist.
The Harry Potter books, which have sold millions of copies worldwide, "seem innocuous" but in fact encourage children to believe in black magic and wizardry, Father Amorth said.
"Practising yoga is Satanic, it leads to evil just like reading Harry Potter," he told a film festival in Umbria this week, where he was invited to introduce The Rite, a film about exorcism starring Sir Anthony Hopkins as a Jesuit priest.

"In Harry Potter the Devil acts in a crafty and covert manner, under the guise of extraordinary powers, magic spells and curses," said the priest, who in 1986 was appointed the chief exorcist for the Diocese of Rome.
"Satan is always hidden and what he most wants is for us not to believe in his existence. He studies every one of us and our tendencies towards good and evil, and then he offers temptations." Science was incapable of explaining evil, said Father Amorth, who has written two books on his experiences as an exorcist. "It's not worth a jot.The scientist simply explores what God has already created." His views may seem extreme, but in fact reflect previous warnings by Pope Benedict XVI, when as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger he was the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican's enforcer of doctrinal orthodoxy.

In 1999, six years before he succeeded John Paul II as Pope, he issued a document which warned Roman Catholics of the dangers of yoga, Zen, transcendental meditation and other 'eastern' practises.
They could "degenerate into a cult of the body" that debases Christian prayer, the document said.
Yoga poses could create a feeling of well-being in the body but it was erroneous to confuse that with "the authentic consolations of the Holy Spirit," the document said.
Italian yoga schools said Father Amorth's criticism was absurd.
"It's an accusation that has nothing to do with reality," Vanda Vanni, the founder of the Mediterranean Yoga Association, told Adnkronos, an Italian news agency.
"It's a theory - if one can call it a theory - that is totally without foundation. Yoga is not a religion or a spiritual practise. It doesn't have even the slightest connection with Satanism or Satanic sects." Giorgio Furlan, the founder of the Yoga Academy of Rome, said yoga had nothing to do with religion, "least of all Satanism." "Whoever says that shows that they know absolutely nothing about yoga," he said.

Father Amorth has previously said that people who are possessed by Satan vomit shards of glass and pieces of iron and have such superhuman strength that even children have to be held down by up to four people.
He has also claimed that the sex abuse scandals which have engulfed the Catholic Church in the US, Ireland, Germany and other countries was proof that the Anti-Christ is waging a war against the Holy See.
