Awake Space I Château de Montcuquet

I had a brilliant and intriguing stay at the Chateau de Montcuquet. I’m eager to go back and explore the surrounding area. Next time, I’ll have to plan at least a week. Sunshine, Glen and family were delightful hosts. Highly recommended.

This is the perfect place to find peace and serenity. The nearby Lautrec village is very pretty with its well-known medieval architecture and narrow cobblestone streets. It was a very memorable stay in Sunshine and Glen’s beautiful home. We will definitely want to visit the Chateau again.

I really enjoyed my time at the chateau this summer. Sunshine and her husband Glen are so welcoming and made me feel right at home. Sunshine is a wonderful teacher and all around lovely person. She is extremely knowledgeable in the practice and tradition of yoga, and shares her knowledge in a very competent and friendly manner. I really appreciated that besides Hatha and Vinyasa, you also get a taste of other yoga styles such as Ashtanga and Kundalini. Plus, the vortex healing she incorporates into her classes felt incredible!The training not only deepened my own yoga practice, but also helped me build the confidence I needed to walk out into the world and teach. And the food offered is amazing, I miss it already!

Met by the most kind and accommodating people. It was a dream to stay in such a historic chateau. Couldn't ask for more, an all around amazing idea and place to learn yoga instruction!

I attended the 200h yoga teacher training in August 2023, that was organized and taught by Sunshine in the Château de Montcuquet.Sunshine is a very qualified professional and teacher, with deep knowledge of all aspects of yoga (postures, teaching methodology, anatomy, philosophy, meditation, breath work etc ).Apart from the technical aspect, I loved that she approaches all topics with an open mind and discusses them from all ankles, combining scientific and spiritual aspects. She also has a beautiful and calm aura.As for the château, it is a beautiful, calming place on a hill, overlooking sunflower fields.I really liked the energy of the yoga hall.With regards to the accommodation and the food during the training, things can be improved eg add nets on windows to avoid mosquitos visiting you when you sleep :), or more protein in the meals. But as Sunshine and her family have moved to the place just few months ago, I m sure they are in the process to get all these details in place as they get established.It is a beautiful project, Sunshine is a great teacher and person and I m happy I was part of the first yoga teachers training ever hosted in this château.

La visite du château avec comme guide sunshine à été pleine de surprises et très intéressante merci à toi nous reviendrons avec plaisir et peut être pourrons nous vous aider dans l'immense travail qui vous reste à réaliser mais déjà que de belles choses réalisées

Ce château au milieu de la nature est magnifique. Un endroit zen, calme et plein d'histoire, absolument parfait pour profiter des cours de yoga de la ravissante Sunshine.
