In the hands of Tamar SarfatiYesterday I had my usual twice-monthly Alexander Technique lesson with Tamar (see photo of me on a better day!). I was such a ball of tightened muscles that it was difficult to work properly but we got there in the end and rewarded ourselves with a welcome cup of tea at the end of the 40-minute session. It’s nearly a year since I took up this method which helps us optimize the way we use our bodies thereby decreasing stress and everyday wear and tear. Ít’s really helped me get back in the saddle when I thought I might have to give up competition riding because of aches and pains. Tamar offers individual and made to measure courses at the chateau.
ABOUT ME
Hello there! I’m Diana Costes Brook, I’m 55 years old and I run my home, Chateau de la Puisaye in Normandy, as a bed and breakfast and holiday cottage business. I say, “my home” but if course it’s also my husband’s Bruno but you might not see him as although he works from home he’s often away running his own business as a consultant, which is very useful because in this day and age every penny counts! I’ve worn many hats in my life. I was a City solicitor but found the film industry more interesting then found myself on a blind date in Rue de Mouffetard in Paris with le charmant Bruno and that was it. Twelve years later, I found myself unemployed and so we made THE BIG MOVE to the country. Poor Bruno had to carry on doing a serious job while I set to work building our dream of renovating a castle and making it pay! I’m not sure to what extent we’ve achieved this - but I love it and love welcoming people and hope they can share something of the feeling we felt when we first came here. OUR HOUSE LOVES PEOPLE! I’d love to share our experience with you.
Ps.We have a son who I adore but he hates me talking about him so ………
