Diana Bourel - Yoga meditation and personal growth in St Barth
yoga meditation and personal growth with Diana Bourel

New in 2022! Art of Self Care will be running group yoga classes at Institut Venus in Gustavia. Semi-private classes (limit 2 students) can also be booked at Excellence des Sens by Christophe Marchesseau at the Cours Vendome. Private classes are booked by appointment only.

WELCOME…BIENVENUE…HOLA

The Art of Self Care is a multi-modal, broad spectrum approach to self care wrapped around a solid core of yoga, meditation, personal growth, healing sessions, life coaching, stress management, mindfulness practices, ocean work and discovery hikes . It is what I call my healing arts.

The yoga I teach and the wellness-based therapies I offer include customized 1-to-1 sessions, private and group instruction in St. Barth or on location, and wellness-purposed travel to specific destinations for exhilarating and transformative spiritual adventure and initiation.

In addition to scheduled workshops and retreats, I create, curate and lead theme-based workshops like the annual St. Barth Summer Camp Yoga Challenge, team-building modules for businesses that can scaled to your needs.
I can also create a built-to-spec wellness programs for your special events here or abroad.

I offer you over 30 years of training, and my personal "10 000" teaching and consulting hours spent improving the physical, mental and emotional registries we as humans experience.
I look forward to putting my life skills and healing arts to work practicing and growing with you.

What People Say

I met Diana 15 years ago in St. Barth where she came highly recommended as a private yoga instructor.  What is unique about Diana is that she intuitively knows exactly what your body needs. Our work together on the mat has translated nicely to our Transpersonal work off the mat.

This is where my path to personal growth really began.

I have travelled around the world to attend Diana’s wellness retreats and I can’t properly express the profound impact she has had on my life

Diana never fails to amaze. She practices a unique integration of yoga, spiritual counseling and mind-body therapy.

She is technically superb. The depth and breath of her knowledge is extraordinary. She knows physical alignment and keeps me safe. She always links the nuts and bolts of the asanas with their spiritual roots. She has brought my yoga practice to a new level.

Diana is a great teacher, both individually and in a group. She is always focused and invariably kind. I love her vibrant personality. As a psychotherapist, I admire her sensitivity and her effectiveness in showing people new ways to think. Diana has been an important influence in my life.

Cela fait maintenant six ou sept ans que mes vacances d’été s’orientent vers l’île de Saint-Barthélemy . Pour moi, l’attrait de cette île, belle et sauvage, outre les amis que je retrouve chaque année, est principalement le yoga camp de Diana Bourel …

Yoga, mais pas seulement !

Méditation, chant, marche, danse, aqua vitalité, conférences, etc.

Tout est prétexte à se connaître mieux, à progresser.

Une opportunité unique de reprendre possession de son corps et de son esprit, de se reconnecter à la nature environnante, et à sa nature propre, de se trouver ou de se retrouver…

dans un esprit de partage et d’amour.

Avec Diana Bourel, fine, intuitive, perspicace, la bienveillance et la joie côtoient les sommets d’une science qu’elle maîtrise avec une grande subtilité. Chacun de ses gestes, chacune de ses paroles, chaque sourire est un enseignement …C’est un bonheur de l’avoir rencontrée et c’est un bonheur chaque fois de la retrouver !

Diana is very committed to her work and always went way beyond her responsibilities to ensure clients satisfaction. She would work with guests even after the sessions, following up to make sure they were comfortable. She is very creative and approaches her work as a way of life, not a job.

She is an artist, ………a life style artist, and understands the importance of people, utilizing her gifts to assist them in living and appreciating life more extensively.

Diana is a professional that anyone or any wellness enterprise looking to evolve from the mundane Spas into truly a holistic and enlightening life changing experiences, would discover to be a perfect match.

I highly recommend Diana and her work.

Diana studied with me for a Kriya Yoga training at Samasati Retreat Center in the rainforest of Costa Rica. She was an attentive and serious student. Since that time we have become friends and have spent time on St. Barth discussing various aspects of healing, which she has a great understanding of. But it is her intuition that sets her apart.

Diana Bourel takes the art of yoga to new levels. She brings her knowledge of dance and music as well as the healing arts to every session.  Her incredible awareness of the emotional state of her clients allows her to create a unique experience in each session, custom-tailored to the client’s need that day. I’ve practiced yoga for many years in many countries and I have found her to be the best of all. She makes her classes into wonderfully unique, growing experiences for her students. On St Barths there is no equal.

When Diana coordinated the Mind, Body and Spirit program for Cap Juluca, Anguilla, and I handled public relations for the hotel, we worked very closely on both independent and group press visits. Understanding what the media wanted, she was always totally cooperative and flexible, giving more than 100% to both the press who participated in the program and also to other hotel guests. Diana always went out of her way to ensure that clients were totally satisfied with the program’s components. In addition, those who participated in her yoga classes almost always remarked that they were the best they’ve experienced.

I first met Diana in 1991 for my first “Coming Home” session after experiencing two traumatic events, losing my life partner and surviving an attack by two Rothweillers.

I remember to this day the depth of this first session with her.

We next met when I moved in July of 1995 to St Barth to manage St-Barth Isle de France (now Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France). The St-Barth Isle de France guests who started with Diana 24 years ago still search her out when they return to St Barth. Diana, who has taught and mentored many of the yoga teachers now giving classes on island, continues to grow as a person, a teacher, a counselor. She is gentle and fiercely loyal , full of compassion and empathy, with the talent to express herself in all the forms she uses to teach.

Love Story for the Nervous System. Chapter 28. « I had to take my car in for an annual inspection this morning. I was also waiting on the results of some blood work. It can take a while, or sometimes take a deadline or an ultimatum before we really look at what needs to be addressed. These energetic puddles are usually places that past fears or survival strategies had us shy away from. Paradoxically, it is when we stop avoiding ourselves and lean in for a closer look that we can move out of paralysis, inaction, ambivalence or helplessness and start to come up with a plan for change. There is power in this. We can start to move out of low grade worry and anxiety over what we are avoiding or putting off, and free up that energy to assess, then mobilize the resources we need to carve a better path. I invite you to take a sweeping look at your inner landscape. What needs more attention? What is begging for a change? How can admitting that a problem exists move you from denial into empowerment ? »

Love Story for the Nervous System. Chapter 27. I am filled with so much gratitude for the women in my life. For my teachers and mentors, for my sherpas on this journey of becoming. Your battles and struggles of the past gave me a vote, a say, a choice, a bank account. Whether warning me about the forks in the road or encouraging me to find my own way and use my own wings, you are the community of women who stretch back from the dawn of time to the future and the generations to come. Messy and marvelous, gracious and kind.
This day of remembrance, reverencing and belonging to this incredible tribe is a day of celebration. I breathe in the sweet perfume of living and wear the costume life gave me to explore the gamut, the incredible gamut of what is possible as a human being, through the lens of a woman, as a woman. Thank you, Sisters ! »

Love story for the Nervous System. Chapter 25
« Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and it gets me to thinking about love and the nature of relationship. For me, one of the most precious teachings of the Tao, of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is the Yin & the Yang, bound in a dynamic, ever -changing expression of matter as it arises, and how one thing engenders another. Do you know the moment that your in-breath becomes the out-breath? It’s a fascinating process to immerse oneself in, to be mindfully swept into the higher stages of yoga. This idea of the Tao is expressed in the yoga space as the wheels, or chakras, that spin energy and awareness. It is not a place. It is not a thing. It is a state. It is an emptiness. The Upanishads point us towards what lies beyond the thinking, labeling mind, past the known, past the knowable, to the unknowable. What happens when you drive to the edge of that cliff and let the questions that arise lead you forward? I encourage you to explore your relationship to yourself, within yourself and to others not as a fixed finality, but rather, as a process that is constantly shifting. »

Love Story for the Nervous System. Chapter 24. « We can all feel thrown off center sometimes. Too much time in front of the computer, a to-do list that never seems to dwindle. A punch that comes out of left field. A bill you weren’t expecting. Whatever it is you didn’t see coming can send you into a tail spin, into trauma response, into drift mode. When you notice that you’re not feeling like yourself, that you feel foggy or disoriented, try this simple practice for grounding . It’s not a mental practice, but a physical one. Notice where you are in space. What is around you? What are you feeling? What are you not feeling? Where is that happening in the body. Coming back to your breath, slowing it down, making it deliberate and conscious is a simple, accessible tool for regulating your nervous system and getting you back home safe and sound. »

Histoire d’Amour pour le système nerveux. Épisode 23. «J’aime quand tu souris,
Quand ta bouche glisse en arrière,
tes yeux s’adoucissent,
tout ton visage s’illumine,
Et devient une lettre d’amour vivante et émouvante.
Quand tu souris, je souris en retour. La vulnérabilité n’est pas une faiblesse ou un défaut.
C’est l’expérience d’être humain.
La condition humaine exige un engagement social.
Aimer et être aimé, se sentir en sécurité en présence d’un autre
C’est le risque que nous prenons à travers la porte de notre moi non protégé.
Pour la connexion que nous recherchons.» #nervoussystem #menthalhealth #meditation #transpersonalcoaching #yogateacher #stbarth #bodyandmind #mentalhealthbeautykitcare #nervoussystemregulation #healingenergy #saintbarthelemy
