Average customer review:Product Description
What happens when an urban girl swaps her kitten heels in the city for karma in the country? 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 - in a small room above Knit and Knatter - she finds the laughter, friendship and wisdom to steer her through whatever dramas life throws at her. This is a funny and heart-warming true story about one woman's search for love and friendship in the lotus position.

Disappointing
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?
great book
I really enjoyed this read - especially as I had just finished reading 'Yoga School Dropout.' I recommend if you are looking for a fun and rather heartwarming book. :)
More than just a story about yoga
Lucy's latest book is more than just a continuation of her adventures as a yoga student. This book covers some of the things that life throws up in front of you - from the joy of meeting her partner to the pain of realising they can't have a family together. You follow Lucy's journey not just in her move from London, finding new yoga classes and friends along the way, but also follow how she deals with the news of not becoming a mother.
Anyone looking for a book on yoga practice or philosophy should look elsewhere but as an example of how yoga fits into our lives and the difference it makes, this is a great read.
