Hip, Tranklechick, August 19th, 2007.

Bonjour, this is Kimberly Wilson from the Catskills in New York,

and welcome to the 96th edition of the Hip Trinklechick podcast,

a guide to life on and off the yoga mat.

Today's menu features a must-have pose and on-the-mat, one recommended by our fabulous

interviewee, an insightful interview with Jeff Davis on The Writing Life in Off the Mat.

And then, of course, we've got our own work and savvy sources for you, too.

So view our show notes at Hiptrinklechick.com slash blog.

On the mat, hero pose, Verasana.

So this pose is a wonderful pose.

We've done a lot of this week up here at my classes I've been taking at the Jiva

Monkdi Ashram. And it's been really, really intense, very, very lovely. And this is a pose that

many people actually enjoy meditating in, sitting, just being in. And you'll notice a lot of children

actually hang out in this pose. And so for this pose,

come into Downward Vacing Dog on your yoga mats and shake your hips, pedal your feet,

shake your head, yes and no, flutter your lips, and then drop those knees back down to the earth,

and then sit your hips onto your heels. Uncurl the toes and then rest

your hands one on top of the other and close your eyes and let's take a few deep full breaths.

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Inhale.

Exhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.
