Some comments from our guest book, which may help give you an insight into my yoga classes, the accommodation and the atmosphere at our yoga retreat :-
"As the first guests in the beautiful cottage we were spoilt in every
way; the views are fantastic, the hosts wonderful and all mod cons provided.
Thank you Dagmar for the calm and fun yoga sessions. I learnt a lot and will
keep on practicing the toes and the hips. Thank you Mike, for guiding us to the
most wonderful places France has to offer."
Pegah
"As a new comer to yoga I was very impressed with the teaching. Dagmar
is open, warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. She has converted me in one week
and next time I come back I will be 'lotus-ing' and 'saluting' with the best of
them!"
Paul
"Many thanks for a wonderful stay. Dagmar's yoga is
fantastic...disciplined yet unregulated, leaving me with a very toned feeling
one week later"
Sheila
"What a wonderful relaxing week! I have thoroughly enjoyed myself; beautiful
countryside, gentle exercise and lots of much needed sleep. Thank you Dagmar for
lessons that were always varied and interesting, yet provided continuity and
progression. I will have to come back and make this week my annual MOT!"
Hayley
"Look forward to seeing you again. The house, setting, hospitality and
classes have all been wonderful"
Carol
"An amazing place - a perfect haven - great company - total relaxation.
What more could anyone want!"
Chris
"A chance meeting for all of us. A group of single professional women
wanting a slice of peace, pampering and a chance to reflect on our busy lives.
Through Dagmar's guiding hand the days fell into a gentle rhythm. We loved the
way the yoga continually challenged, surprised and engaged us. We relaxed,
soaked up the sights, sounds and tastes that this beautiful place has to offer,
and went on our way firm friends and thoroughly refreshed."
Gilly, Jo, & Elaine
"Many thanks to you both for providing such a tranquil haven to
relax and unwind! The peacefulness has been blissful, the yoga has been
enlightening and the hospitality wonderful"
Elaine
"Thank you so much for a wonderful week, which, as it turned out, I was
badly in need of! The cottage and surroundings are beautiful and the yoga was brilliant. Also, thank you Dagmar for reiki; I feel fantastic"

inspiring place to spend a week relaxing with you all. Thank you Dagmar for the
depth of your experience in yoga teaching. We've really enjoyed 'lotus-ing',
etc., and your feline helpers will linger in our memory"
Ben & Claire
"What a wonderfully relaxing week I've spent at Domaine de la Grausse - a beautiful
tranquil heaven. It has exceed my expectations. Dagmar's yoga sessions are excellent
and a perfect tonic for mind, body and spirit. I plan to return yearly and make
this my annual treat; relaxation and gentle exercise in beautiful surroundings.
Thank you Dagmar and Mike for being perfect hosts, hospitable, warm and
helpful." "
Karen
"Many thanks Dagmar and
Mike for a wonderful week...you have certainly found a haven here and turned it
into something special. The yoga has been varied, refreshing and fun. Thanks
Dagmar for your warmth and patience. I'll be back again!"
Miranda
"Having attended many yoga holidays, this venue is the only place I have
eagerly returned to after less than a year. It is hard to describe all that
is good about this tranquil and green haven, but for me it has 5 essential
qualities : a beautiful location; comfortable and charming accommodation; an
experienced and friendly yoga teacher; plenty of out-door activities and
spectacular scenery nearby; and most of all attentive and kind hosts, Mike and
Dagmar"
Pegah & James
"It has been a wonderful week for me. Dagmar and Mike's hospitality, the
beautiful countryside and wildlife, the people I've met have all contributed to
a most enjoyable stay - quite apart from my introduction to yoga."
Chris
"I have had the time of my
life. I have enjoyed every minute. The surroundings are beautiful, and I'll miss
them so much. I have loved the meditation, yoga, cycling and particularly swimming in the lake every day. I hope to come back."
Ruth
"It has been a brilliant
week, just the tonic. The entire experience was fabulous; yoga, relaxation, the beautiful
countryside and the frogs! We have
already made a pact to return, and the only sad think is that I didn't book for
two weeks."
Maeve
"Had the most wonderful
time here; perfect for my first try at yoga, and loved all the relaxation and rejuvenating."
Dorothy
"How to express what
delights this all too short week has given. Our cottage, the 'welcome pack',
Dagmar & Mike, plus warm sunshine exceeded expectations. Yoga was just
wonderful and I speak for all 'the girls' as well as myself when I say we
learned so much. I look forward to a return visit to this corner of heaven on
earth".
Vicki
"As a novice to yoga, I
was amazed at how much I enjoyed it; now I hope to keep it up. This place is
lovely and very welcoming and I cannot fault it in any way."
Tara
"I really switched-off this week. The cottage is a really lovely space and
the yoga just totally relaxed my mind; physically & spiritually. Thank
you!"

"I've had a perfect
holiday here - lovely sunshine and beautiful nature. Thanks to Dagmar's expert
teaching, in one week my body has loosened up to achieve postures i never
thought possible."

"A wonderful &
relaxing 10 days. Feeling svelte and zen'd and ready to face the big bad

again next year."

and we were very happy here."

week. We really could live here forever!. Hope to see you soon."
John & Lisa
"Spring Cottage has been
a great place to stay, thank you for your attention to detail in all that we
needed and in the beautiful garden and surroundings. The generous 'welcome pack'
was much appreciated. Really interesting and gentle build up on yoga and
meditation was excellent. Janine delivered the best massage I have had and
complete medical, holistic advice to get my shoulder back on track. So much to
see in the area, thanks to Mike for maps and recommendations. I don't usually
plan to go back to places I have stayed, but here, am sorely tempted."
Catherine
"What a wonderful,
magical place! This is my first yoga holiday and I was a little nervous about
what I would find. Everything was wonderful - excellent accommodation with
attention to detail, very generous and tasty 'welcome pack', excellent tips and
advice from Michael about exploring the area and the yoga was excellent too.
Very relaxing meditation in a beautiful candle-lit room."
Lorna
"Thank you so much for
the most relaxing week I've ever had! The yoga was fantastic...I have felt my

has been the most amazing holiday and perfect honeymoon. What a way to begin our
new lives. Perfect weather, wildlife & surroundings, even better yoga
classes & company. We will be back again."
Liz & Ryan
"Thank you for your
hospitality. This beautiful cottage has made us feel at home, welcome and warm.
We didn't know what to expect, but this has been so much more than we could ever
have hoped for. Thank you Dagmar for your personal approach, we've really
enjoyed your classes. PS. Farid has fallen in love with Sasha!"
Farid & Susanne
Thank you very much for your
hospitality. You made every effort to ensure that my stay here was very
enjoyable. The cottage is superb and I will miss my room and the fantastic
kitchen with every mod con. I will also miss the frogs, Sasha, the lake, the
wine... Last, but not least I want to say how brilliant the yoga classes are.
Dagmar's teaching is very laid-back & fun, yet disciplined. I will recommend
this place to fellow yoga enthusiasts!"

excellent week. We loved the yoga, the comfortable accommodation and the fun
lake! Dagmar, you are a very good teacher."
Michael, Jane, Katie & Jessie
"Thank you, Dagmar &
Mike. I've had a perfect week. I hadn't planned this holiday and didn't really
know what to expect. What I found exceeded any expectations I could have had.
Thanks for your kindness and hospitality, for having created such a peaceful and
idyllic surroundings, and above all for the invigorating, inspiring and
life-affirming yoga."

"Our second visit. It
felt like coming home! If only we could take Dagmar home with us ...absolutely
love her yoga. The Grange is beautiful, garden gorgeous (with the wild horses).
Anita
"Dagmar, thank you for a
wonderful time! I couldn't have imagined a more perfect location than this to
spend such an invigorating week and you've done a wonderful job creating the
perfect environment with the studio and the facilities. And you were a truly
awesome and helpful yoga instructor. I love your style and method of teaching.
If I am ever on the continent during the summer again, I will make every effort
to book another fabulous week with you!"
