Hip, Trinkle Chick, July 24, 2007.

Bonjour, this is Kimberly Wilson, and welcome to the 92nd edition of the Hip Trinkle Chick

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

Today's menu features a mini must have yoga practice in on the mat, and this

translates into off the mat. And we've got omwork and some savvy sources for you too. So view our show

notes and follow along at Hiptranglechick.com slash blog. On the mat. Today's practice is a mini must-have yoga practice.

So let's begin by coming to the front of your yoga mat.

Remove all external distractions.

Turn off the phone.

Shut down.

I'd say shut down the computer, but you may be listening this through your

computer. So shut down any email or any distractions such as that. And close the door, if you

have roommates, and let this be a sacred time. It's just going to be a short practice, but I want

this to be something where you can really, really savor going

within and just listening to your body and your breath. So come to the top of the yoga mat

in Tadassanam mountain pose. So bring those feet together. Heal slightly apart. Stand up nice and tall.

Lift your toes, spread them wide, drop them back down. Feel the weight evenly distributed

on all four corners of the feet. Inner spiral the thighs, scoop the tailbone. Draw the shoulder

blades in and down and lift the chest and heart center.

Lengthen the crown of the head toward the heavens and bring your hands to Anjali Mudra prayer position.

Take a moment here to set an intention for your practice.

What brings you to the mat?
