Here’s a little follow-up note to your first Autumn News as promised. Although this letter has a focus on Yoga for Women, please do read on if you’re a man with any women in your life (partner/wife/mother/daughter/sister/friend…) as you may be able to pass this on to them :)
Well-Woman Event 4th November 2023
Well-Woman Yoga Afternoon Event
Firstly, I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of those that attended Saturday’s Well-Woman Yoga Afternoon Event at Leek Wootton Village Hall. I run these events three times a year at Leek Wootton and I really look forward to leading them: from the planning & preparation, through to inviting every woman into the hall, ensuring they have anything they need to be comfortable, sharing nurturing & explorative practices, both movement and stillness based… and every farewell is with a small gift, a huge hug and a feeling that everyone feels that little bit calmer, happier, relaxed and restored.
This morning I woke up to some lovely messages of feedback:
“What an absolutely amazing afternoon! Thank you so much. I went back to my sister-in-laws last night and we reflected how wonderful the time was. You are so gifted” Emma Ellis-Flint (Nutritionist/Balance App Expert)
“I have overnight reflected on what a therapeutic event it was for me and the timing was just perfect. I manage to truly relax and slept well last night. I have no idea how you keep coming up with new words and ideas” Sandra Swallow (a regular Well-Woman Client)
Cafe Desa are our caterer’s for all Well-Woman Yoga Events. We just love their delicious seasonal food and drinks - it really is a very special event.
Next year’s Well-Woman Yoga Event dates are now available to book via my website - see graphics below. If you’d like to book more than one event to receive a discount, please contact me directly on: info@livingyouryoga.co.uk

She Let Go
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of fear. She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming
around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and
completely,
without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a
book on how to let go… She didn’t search the
scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from
moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations
about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her day-timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in
the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily
horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyse whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word. She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort. There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore.
Rev. Safire Rose
