Disappointing,
By
This review is from: The Handbag and Wellies Yoga Club (Paperback)
I bought this after reading the author's previous book, Yoga School Drop-Out. I didn't feel it was anywhere near as good. This may seem a bit unfair but if I'm honest, I was bored reading the book. On more than one occasion, I was tempted to stop reading and not bother to finish it. At first I just thought perhaps the author was being a bit self-indulgent with details that were of no consequence and definitely of no interest (perhaps stuff you would write in your diary?) However, I did continue to the end, in the hope that it would get better, but was just left with an empty feeling that time could have been better spend on another book. I don't think it was particularly well written (sorry, Lucy). It's just my opinion; what do I know?

Not much yoga!,
By Pusspuss "pusspuss" (Newcastle, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Handbag and Wellies Yoga Club (Paperback)
The title of this book is misleading. it should read "middle-aged, middle-class and desperate with a bit of yoga thrown in" I bought this on the strength of Yoga School Dropout, but this book really disappoints. Disjointed narrative, a lot about conception in middle age, and some of it not accurate, too, in short, a fairly boring autobiographic snippet. There isn;t much happening in the countryside, and the author doesn't have the creativity or wit to turn a rather boring story into anything engaging.

Life beyond the yoga mat...,
By
This review is from: The Handbag and Wellies Yoga Club (Paperback)
The Handbag and Wellies Yoga club continues Lucy's adventures from her last book Yoga School Dropout. It's a heart warming story about embracing a slower pace of life in Norfolk, making new friends, being in love and her struggle to have a baby. What I love about Lucy's writing is her openness, honesty and humour.
From an epiphany doing a headstand to enlightenment after a glass or two of Pinot Grigio with the Bad Ladies, this book draws you in as you share in the ups and downs of Lucy's life. She proves that no matter what intentions we set and how many chants we sing or pretzel-like poses we master, the outcomes of our lives are often not in our control. I thoroughly enjoyed both of Lucy's books and this one in particular as it shows life beyond the mat but for a yoga fan like myself, there's also a good dollop of cosmic mergers, chakra openings and Sanskrit chanting to keep you smiling all the way to the end. The Handbag and Wellies Yoga Club
