You can be easily combine a holiday where you explore the Dordogne area, exercise and eat the best local produce whilst your with us at Le Ferriere. It truly is a holiday to recharge your batteries Here are a few words on Helder's approach to mind and body health.

In a world where everything is moving at a fast pace, where time is a paradox and life just seems to go by, it is important to invest in ourselves in our health and well-being. By working and training our bodies physically and mentally, we become more aware of every aspect of our being.

The physical movements help is to strengthen the body, developing the muscles, tendons and connective tissues to ensure fluid and powerful movement. Working the breathing will help us to relax
the body by connecting the inside with the outside. This combination of physical movement and breathing in harmony will quiet the mind in both stillness and movement helping us to be comfortable with ourselves in the present moment in our lives.
