Alison's Denia Experience
As I approached the Chamarel Hotel along the quaint cobbled streets, I looked forward to seeing Nicole and Garry, the organisers of the Yoga/Pilates holiday. We had become good friends as a result of the previous year’s holiday which I had attended as a participant. I felt a pleasurable nervousness when I thought of the classes I would teach that week, what will their standard be? Will they all have fun? Teaching the same group of people every day for several days is a great opportunity to really get to know people and to move their practice along but also a huge responsibility.
I taught Pilates in a beautiful airy room overlooking the courtyard at the Hotel Nou Roma http://www.hotelnouroma.com while Nicole held her Yoga classes in the courtyard of the Chamarel www.hotelchamarel.com the middle part of the day was free for us to explore Denia, shop, sunbathe and sample the many tapas bars within walking distance of the hotels.
Nicole, Garry and I have had wonderful feedback from the guests about the holiday, also expressing how much they enjoyed making new friends and developing their practice of yoga and Pilates. I had such a great time, which is why I have decided to do it again this year!
A fellow guest was Caroline, our receptionist here at the Natural Fitness Centre; this is what Caroline thought about the holiday.
Best wishes

Caroline's Denia Experience
I decided on Nicole and Garry’s holiday after hearing Alison enthuse about the quirky hotel and the great yoga teaching- not to mention the Thai Yoga Massage from the wonderful Llilander!
As a single traveller, I felt more relaxed at the Chamarel Hotel than I have on other activity holidays. Nicole and Garry made us feel we were long-established friends and that accepting, relaxed atmosphere encouraged friendship amongst us.
I loved, loved, loved the Pilates and Yoga practice- I remember one Yoga pose being demonstrated and I thought 'Yeah, that’s likely!' but I was surprised and proud to see that we all did it, to some degree! I enjoyed the ‘down time’ exploring and relaxing, with a bit of mountain walking thrown in. I am definitely going back this year and look forward to seeing you there.

As well as the Yoga and Pilates classes you can also enjoy complementary guided hikes to speed up your metabolism, optional mountain biking or tennis lessons. You will be eating delicious fresh, vegetarian food in the hotel and enjoy one of the many wonderful local restaurants on the free nights. Also on the menu are Massage, Reflexology, beauty treatments and a Colour & Image workshop. Remember, holidays are a time for trying new things, pampering and learning about yourself. You will relax, rejuvenate and maybe re-invent yourself.
