About Diana Bourel
Diana Bourel’s approach brings together physical practice, meditation, healing modalities and restorative care. Rather than offering wellness as a single treatment or a single class, The Art of Self Care® builds a wellness ecology: yoga, meditation, hiking, water work, massage, transpersonal work and community gatherings that feed one another, shaped around each person and deepening over time.
Planning Your Visit
Advance reservations are recommended for private sessions, retreats and high-season dates. Ask what to wear, whether equipment is provided, how early to arrive and whether the session takes place indoors, outdoors or elsewhere on the island.
