Welcome to the 24th edition of the Hip Tranquil Chick podcast: a girl’s guide for living a luxe lifestyle on and off the yoga mat. Produced from the 600 sq. foot "Pink Palace" in Washington, DC.
Today’s podcast is on my exploring what yoga means to you and how to live it daily both on and off the mat—not JUST an asana practice, topped of with a pose of the podcast, book suggestions, hip tranquil chick chat, and fun music from a local yogini! View our shownotes at hiptranquilchick.com/blog and check out the cover of the upcoming book on the homepage!
I have been so pleased to hear from people all over the US and around the world--being a hip tranquil chick definitely trancends borders! I wanted to share the expansive listenership with others so I set up a virtual map at Frappr. Please take a brief moment, click on the link, and stick a pushpin on that map.Yoga 101

Integrating yoga into lifestyle – no one way. Borrow elements that speak to you. Remember, yoga and life are ALL about exploration!
A few journal writing ideas:
1. What does yoga mean to me?
2. In what ways do I live my yoga every day?
3. How can I incorporate more yoga (on and off the mat) into my daily life?

Hip Tranquil Chick Chat:
"I can't believe it's taken me this long to email you, I've meaning to for ages. I just wanted to say how much your podcasts have changed my whole life, you have introduced me to so much! I have bought loads of the books on your recommended reading list which have led me onto even more books once I got started on their recommended reading! All I am doing is getting to know myself really but it's something I have never done.
In Living Out Loud at one point Keri Smith says "I trusted the opinions of others over my own" and that really hit me because I've been doing that all my life, I would always first ask my dad and my boyfriend what I should do about a decision rather than make my own choice. I now think if I had made my own decisions in the past I would be doing a different job to now and maybe be happier because I'd have followed my own heart, not someone elses. But at least I know now.
My favourite podcasts are the creativity one, journalling one and top tips ones. I know you are doing another journalling one soon which I am really looking forward to! I have started my own journal after hearing that podcast which has been brilliant getting out all my thoughts and feelings. It's now like a best friend. And I have started making an art journal but that's something I need to work on as I am never completely happy with what I create but it is very therapeutic."

Hello Kimberly,
I really really enjoy your podcasting. I find your talks very giving, insightful and inspirational - especially on pursuing Bliss and Joy in life. Your book choices are constantly making their way to my Amazon Wish List and Library Holds List.
After listening to your podcast #24 (yes, I'm going back into the archives for more!), I was struck with your mention of a workshop for giving fashion shows. I didn't know these existed! I hope to find some soon to attend myself. How did you come to find something like this (any tips on a gal in L.A. finding this type of workshop?)
