The Handbag and Wellies Yoga Club Yoga Memoir
It is a big year for Lucy – she has met the love of her life and they’re planning to trade the city rat race for a Norfolk farmhouse, get married, and try for a baby. But country life isn’t quite what Lucy imagined. Sure, there’s time to stop and chat, but where does she find the people to stop and chat to? She has almost had it up to here when, one day, she stumbles across a local yoga club. There she finds the laughter, friendship and wisdom to steer her through whatever dramas life throws at her. A funny and heart-warming true story about one woman’s search for love and friendship in the lotus position. Lucy will sign your copy and write a message of your choice if you would like her to. Just type your message in the pop up when you buy it. Verified Amazon review \"The soft green and pink cover-design prepared me for an engaging light read. Like Lucy, I practise yoga, and have sought the mystic Indians and swoony swamis she described in her previous volume, \"Yoga School Dropout\". But Lucy\'s autobiographical account touched me on a far deeper level than I had anticipated. Lucy spent many years as an advertising executive in London. Marriage and babies could wait - long-term. Then, in her early 40\'s, she followed her inner yearnings and headed to rural Norfolk with her new man. She wanted to become \"fully secure in herself\" for the first time in her life. I spent a similar number of years as a single woman living and working in London. Then, at Lucy\'s age, I too moved out to the countryside to become what she would describe as \"an earth mother\". But Lucy longed for children. And this, ultimately, after an agonizing hunt through fertility options, was to be denied her. Some parts of her story, where she accepts that this is one dream that is not going to come true for her, moved me to tears. In sharing her experiences, Lucy not only made me laugh, in recognition and empathy; but also she inspired me. At her wedding, she thanked her father because \"he taught me the importance of holding out for what I wanted - even if it took me more than forty years to find it.\" Lucy\'s accounts of female friendship (her après yoga sessions over the Pinot Grigio with `the Cappuccino Gurus\' - her London yoga friends - and `the Bad Ladies\' of Norfolk) are a joy - and in part reminded me of \"The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood\" by Rebecca Wells. As she advises her yoga teacher friend Kate: \" `I suggest you do a Four Corners Collage - each corner represents an aspect of your life - relationship, home, family, work. I did one the year before I met David... and guess what,\' I said triumphantly, `I got everything I wanted\'. I stared into my glass of Rioja. `Well, almost everything....\'\" Lucy\'s honesty and gentle humour make her story one to love.\" Sheila
