Hip, Trankle Chick, February 6, 2008.

Bonjour, this is Kimberly Wilson, and welcome to the 119th edition of the Hip Trinkle Chick

podcast, a guide to life on and off the yoga mat.

Today's menu features a must-have pose and on the mat, feminist activism with

Amy Richards and Jennifer Baumgardner in Off the Mat, and we've got omwork and savvy sources for

you too. View our show notes at Hiptrinklechick.com slash blog. On the mat. So come on to your yoga mat into

child's pose, one of my favorite

restorative cleansing

just softening poses.

So child's pose is

come onto your shins

and then drop your hips down onto your

heels, reach your arms forward,

and soften your forehead to the earth.

Now I want to throw in a variety today, adding and thread the needle into child's pose.

So from this pose, slide the right arm underneath the left arm, drop to the right shoulder and the right side of your face.

And if you want to take this a little deeper, you can bring the left arm around the back

and reach for the inner right thigh.

Take a few deep, cleansing breaths here, up to five, return to the center, and then slide

the left arm underneath the right, dropping onto the left side of the face, the left shoulder, and reaching

that right arm around the back for the inner left thigh.

Again, five deep breaths, and then return to the center.
