Meridian Life

24/12/2025

A BIG THANK YOU! I’m so deeply grateful to my family, friends, and wonderful clients for supporting me and my small business throughout 2025. Your love, encouragement, and presence have meant the world and made it a beautiful year.

I’ve truly loved every single moment of teaching yoga and meditation, and holding space through Reiki and Crystal Healing from my cosy Wellbeing Pod. It’s been magical. ✨

2026 is already looking exciting, joyful, and full of possibility that I can't wait to share with you!

For now, I’m taking some time to rest, restore and hibernate over Christmas, and I’ll be back to work from Monday 12th January.

Wishing you all a peaceful, nourishing Christmas and New Year.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Love Gail xx 💜🙏🧘‍♀️🎄

My lovely friend Cara is holding this 6 week block of post natal pilates in the new year at Sattvic Studio in Market Drayton.

Get in touch with Coaching with Cara to book on.

✨✨Introducing Post Natal Pilates✨✨

This beautiful class at Sattvic Studio is for Women who have given birth with pre-walking babies and want to move their bodies again in a safe and effective way.

The 45 minute class will focus on appropriate Pilates exercises to strengthen the core, relax and move shoulders and the upper back (these get very stiff with a baby), strengthen the glutes and the pelvis to provide stability, connect with the pelvic floor and breath and I will also be providing postural analysis (how you hold your baby affects your pelvic floor!).

Everything that I do with women is to make them stronger, healthier and fitter. My approach is free from diet culture (there’s no bouncing back here), just plain old moving your body in a way which feels good to you.

I know from experience that feeling after giving birth that you will never feel like yourself again, that feeling of weakness but Pilates saved me and I’m stronger than ever.

If this sounds good to you head over to my website and book on for the 6 sessions, bring your baby, meet other mama’s and lets make you strong.

Sattvic Studio - Queen Street, Market Drayton
12 noon for 45 minutes
£70 for 6 sessions - Block booking starting January 8th till February 12th.
Equipment provided

Book here - https://www.coachingwithcara.co.uk/service-page/post-natal-pilates?referral=service_list_widget

Please note - The studio does not have room for prams so please bring your baby in a carrier or car seat.

Any questions please ask away.

Tomorrow, i am running my own YinFusion retreat online, so if you'd like some self care this weekend you can join me on my Inner Warmth Winter Retreat, 3 hours relaxing online via zoom - journaling, gentle yoga, meditation, Reiki and crystal healing! Have a look at the website to book.

I'd love to know what you are up to this weekend?

What a year it has been for Reiki and Crystal Healings! 🙏🔮

I am so honoured to have helped so many people on their Reiki and Crystal Healing journey, some completely new to it, and have trusted me with their first experience.

I love ❤️ being able to help people to switch off, improve their wellbeing, heal their aches and pains and generally offer them a safe and calming space to just be.

I'm booked up now til Christmas 🎄 but if you'd like to book in for 2026, please drop me a message.

I also offer distance Healings too if you can't make it along to my Meridian Wellbeing Pod.

Love Gail 💜🧘‍♀️🙏

😘Tell me.... What is on your self care list this weekend?🙏

We are having a chilled weekend writing out Christmas cards, maybe wrap a few presents, I'd like to go on a walk along the Shropshire Union Canal, we are lucky enough to live just a 5 minutes walk from it and it is one of my favourite places to walk.

A job I must do is wash my Meridian Life van - it is filthy! All this rain and mud we have had is caked all over my lovely pink and purple sign written van!

Our Christmas tree is already up and it is all looking lovely cosy and festive!

So, I'd love to know what you are up to this weekend?

If you'd like some self care next weekend you can join me on my Inner Warmth Winter Retreat, 3 hours relaxing online via zoom - journaling, gentle yoga, meditation, Reiki and crystal healing! Have a look at the website to book.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

🌟Guest Speaker Time!🌟

The lovely Jo Plimmer will be joining us to chat about 'Making Time For You'.

Something I am sure we could all do with tuning into!

Jo will cover how the stress response becomes chronically activated via all the demands and pressures of everyday life, causing a rollercoaster of boom (all go) followed by bust (the crash!) and what we can do to stop the cycle and prevent it from happening in the future.

Jo is a physiotherapist, health coach and ex GB triathlete.

Jo's talks are always very engaging and enlightening and this is the perfect time of the year to listen in as all the festivities start to ramp up!🌲

Grab a cup of hot chocolate and join us on Thursday 11th December at 7.30pm for an hour.

Book via www.yinfusionyoganest.com.

I've had a super week at chair yoga this week, finishing two blocks of 6 week sessions.

We indulged in some Christmas mince pies and everyone received a little bath bomb for a relaxing foot soak or bath over the festive period!

Everyone has enjoyed the relaxing sessions and said how it has helped improve their mobility, mood, balance and overall general wellbeing.

Thank you to Trinity Church Newport and to Market Drayton for holding the sessions.

Chair yoga will be starting again in January in both locations on an 8 week block from week commencing 11th January. Drop me a message for more info.

I also hold chair yoga at Church Aston Church Hall on a Wednesday, again restarting from 11th January.

My classes are friendly, inclusive and relaxing!
