Casa Blanca is a
traditional Spanish
manor house built
over 150 years
ago and was lived in by the same
family up until 1994. We discovered
the house in 2002 and instantly
recognized it´s potential for our
therapy centre due to it´s lay-out
and character. The photo below
is the view from the side of
the property.

Yoga has been around for at least five thousand years, originally
including physical postures (Asanas) and breathing excercises
(Pranayama.) The word "Yoga" literally means union, union
of the mind with the body. Yoga belongs to no religious system
and is open to everyone. Yoga practice strengthens the body
and mind and helps reduce stress, so that life can be lived to
the full, without the hindrance of anxiety, lethargy and pain.
The movements and
breathing are slow and purposeful with
an emphasis on releasing tension and resistence in the body,
raising your energy levels and so making the postures easier.
Hatha yoga is the best physical culture system in the world.
It
relaxes,
rejuvenates, tones, firms, regulates body functions,
energizes and beautifies. Through
regular practice you can
drastically change your life, no matter what your age.

Liz was born with a deformed spine, and one leg longer than the
other. For years she had to wear a built up shoe, and a specially
made corset to support her back. When Liz was a teenager she
was told by a specialist that by the time she reached 30 she would
be riddled with arthritis and be confined to a wheelchair unless
she underwent surgery.
Your instructor Liz Sandford
Not happy with the
idea, Liz on a regular basis visited an osteopath.
Suffering considerable pain, Liz was introduced to yoga in her mid
20´s, by a friend with a deformed shoulder. With regular practice
of Hatha Yoga, Liz now in her early fifties has overcome any
physical discomfort and enjoys a better state of health than she
has ever known.
REIKI
Reiki is the universal life
force which sustains our existence, and
organises the proper functioning of the human body, ensuring
that all the organs work together in harmony. A stressful
lifestyle or extreme situations to either the physical body, the
mental constitution or the emotional state can lead to
imbalances and blockages in the organism, which eventually
will manifest itself as a disease.
The Reiki
practitioner
has been attuned and trained to channel the
universal life force and direct it towards the benefit of the receiver
which stimulates their own body´s healing system, thus acting
towards the restoration of harmony. Reiki is a gentle non-intrusive
therapy and most receivers become relaxed and even fall asleep
sometimes. Reiki can have the following benefits :-
• Strengthens the
immune system
• Supports the body´s
natural ability to heal itself
• Revitalises, re-establishes equilibrum and mental well-being
• Balances the body´s
energies, loosens up blocked energy
• Promotes a state of
total relaxation
• Cleanes the body of
poisons
Most receivers
experience a marked increase in energy and
stamina in their daily lives. Reiki practitioners do not use any
of
their personal energy in the treatment.
