Are you in love with Autumn? 🍂💛

Do you love cosying up at night in woolly jumpers, lighting the log fire, and allowing yourself to slow down?

Or do you find the darker nights a little more challenging, longing for the re-emergence of Spring again?

For me, I do love Autumn and all the cosiness it brings — but I also notice my energy naturally begins to deplete. That’s why, a couple of years ago, I made a conscious decision to take a step back and slow down towards the end of October and into November. To give myself time and space to rest and restore.

So, while I may have been quite on socials recently, rest assured I’ve been keeping busy — delivering yoga sessions, Reiki, and crystal healings, as well as spending some lovely time with my parents and enjoying a few days away in the camper with Mr Meridian. 🚐✨

There’s lots coming up next week in The YinFusion Yoga Nest, including:
🌿 Quiet Pause – Monday at 8am (not recorded)
🔥 Inner Warrior – Week 4 – Tuesday at 8am (members only)
🌙 Pure Yin – Tuesday at 7pm
🪷 Chair Yoga – Thursday at 12 noon
💧 Guest Speaker: Denise McGowan – Essential Oils and the Menopause – Thursday at 3pm
🌌 Yoga Nidra – Friday at 7pm

If you’d like to join me, you can sign up for a membership package or come along on a PAYG basis. If you're a member you get access to all the recorded sessions on the hub.

It would be so lovely to welcome you — to slow down, rest, and rejuvenate together during this beautiful, reflective time of year.

Drop me a comment below as to which is your favourite season.

No guidance, no talking — just the gentle power of collective silence.

A creative weekend!

I've had a wonderful weekend indulging in lots of watercolour painting, Saturday with Denise McGowan at Market Drayton Library for a 2hr workshop of a little girl and her dog, then today with at Helen's Quirky Bird Workshops for a day of painting poppies, this was a little outside my comfort zone but I'm pretty pleased with the outcome!

Both Denise and Rita are great teachers!

Obviously, all the creativity included lots of tea and cake! 🎂

Thank you Denise, Rita and Helen for a brilliant inspirational weekend!

What have you been up to this weekend?

Sometimes, we need stillness to give us space for everything to click into place.

That's what happened last night at a 2-hour Diwali event at with .

We learnt a little more about Diwali before exploring some journalling, watching some thought-provoking short films, a gorgeous guided meditation, and finished off with some delicious food!

Something came to me that I have been working on for 6 YEARS!!!! It opened me up to a way to be able to finish this project, which, to be honest, I'd given up on! 🫣Also, a new project was born!!!!

Powerful stuff all this stillness, meditation and journalling!🧘‍♀️

If you want to join me for a FREE silent meditation every Monday at 8 am, online, book via www.YinFusionYogaNest.com.

Thank you, Sophie and Megs for putting on a wonderful evening! And to Allison at for picking me up!

I need your help! I am catching up on Distinctive Edge Challenge from last week. One of the tasks is to find out from my lovely clients, family and friends how they would describe me in 3 words!

I felt (and feel) a little uncomfortable asking this, but it is my 'homework'!🙃 and I don't want to get a detention!

So, what three words come to you when you think of me? Jot them in the comments, please, or send me a DM.

Sarah runs a fantastic Visibility You group to help us to improve our branding and visibility, often pushing us outside our comfort zone, but all for the better!

Thanks in advance!😘
