“Thank you” are two truly underestimated words, they both boost our mood and make others very happy too, yet they are often forgotten. You know how it feels when you hold a door open for someone or allow them go in front of you in a queue/traffic etc, yet that other person neglects to acknowledge your generosity of thought and effort – it’s not a good feeling is it?
What would happen if when you went to bed at night and before you went to sleep you said “thank you”, you don’t have to be specific about what, just say it out loud. Research has shown that these two simple words will boost your mood, sense of well being and positivity. What could happen if you said it to yourself more often, and to others too? These two powerful words could create a tsunami of goodwill and positivity throughout our community and who knows even further. Either way it can definitely make us all feel better so it’s worth trying!
Thank you to Nikkie Riozzi for joining me in teaching at our first ‘Independance’ event, she really did deliver a funky and fabulous class. DYBO Academy co-Director Karen Smith and I are thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive feedback we have received and are looking forward to organising the next one. We want suggestions and requests, so put your thinking caps on and let us know your thoughts.
Thank you to the DYBO Divas and guests who gave both Nikkie and I all their energy and for the afternoon plus that extra “je ne sais quoi” with their performances!
Thank you to DYBO team Sarah, Karen, Steve and Dec as always.

Mind Body Expert and Guru, Monica Linford is the award winning creator of the chi ball programme and now her brand new programme The Wellness Warrrior which includes WuMotion and WuYOGA.
I’m thrilled to have Monica teach us her restorative ‘WuYOGA’ programme.
WuYOGA Flow
A dynamic practice that combines the healing art of Qigong, Yoga, Feldenkrais Method and relaxation.
The WuYOGA Flow masterclass begins on the floor to release and relax the body, regulate the breath and focus the mind. Moving from a state of complete relaxation and physical ease, the natural flexibility of childhood is born again. Repetition of various movement sequences allows time for exploration and mind and body integration.
The benefits of regular practice are:
• greater strength, mobility and flexibility
• better balance & coordination
• being more internally aware of your body
• feeling effortlessly relaxed, centred, calm and peaceful
On Fridays 13 and 20 November, we are privileged to be some of the first people to experience the finished product.
Class Times are 6.30pm-7.30pm. £7.50 per session (membership holders enjoy a special rate of £4 per class).
Payment by Cheque or cash at class (we anticipate a great deal of extra interest, so book early)
Independance Day was amazing!

Christmas Nosh Up and Social
I’m taking the menus and guest lists to class and training sessions so that you can make your choices and I can deliver them to Zizzi’s ahead of our special night.
I also require a £5 deposit each before the end of the month please.
I have reserved extra spaces so do let me know if you haven’t booked and would like to come along.
I’m so looking forward to celebrating Christmas with you guys!
As I mentioned previously, I want to celebrate Christmas with all my DYBO family (class members, 1 to 1 clients and team) and so have booked Zizzi’s restaurant in Farnham for Friday 18th December, 8pm.
The £24.95 Christmas set menu looks lovely, has various choices including Veggie options and a healthy Salad for those who would prefer; it also includes a glass of Prosecco. There is a 10% service charge per person but it still looks good value.
Low Carb Brekkie (no Dairy)!
Breakfast can be a challenge when you are trying to go easy on starchy carbohydrates and choosing a healthy breakfast during the cold Autumn and Winter months is even harder – well I might have a solution, take a look at this Porridge alternative. Give it a go and let me know what you think!
Ingredients
1/2 cup full-fat canned coconut milk PLUS 1/4 cup water
3 Tbs. coconut flour, I get mine on line or holland and Barrett
2 Tbs. finely shredded coconut
1/2 banana, mashed
Toppings of your choice eg crushed nuts, a little dried fruit, prunes, maple syrup
or honey
Instructions
In a small saucepan, mix the liquids, coconut flour and shredded coconut together.
Bring to a boil (mixture will become thick), cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir regularly.

Have a fab week and thank you for being part of my DYBO family.
