Tranquility Dejure, June 20th, 2010.

Bonjour, welcome to the 191st edition of Tranquility DeJure, a guide to bringing tranquility to your every day.

Today's show features happenings and musings on life is a verb with the beautiful patty tie.

Tranquilista lifestyle, joie de vive, e-course, a reminder launches in three days. So join me for

this seven-week e-course, focusing on all sorts of goodness, outlined in Tranquilista, it will come with private blog,

podcast, and vidcasts. Oh, and if you complete your own work by the deadline, you get to choose

a complimentary tranquility piece. So if you have any questions about this, ask away. Would

love to have you on our journey. Workshops and retreats. Reminder, I'm heading to

LA and Portland in a few days. And also at Trenklista retreat at Krapaloo. And the whole thing is all

about yoga for the modern girl. And then also in Texas in August, lots and lots of heat in the lovely Tejas,

and then a yoga retreat in India. So we'd love to connect. Also, excited to share our recently

returned pose of the podcast. It's Barakonasana, which is one of my most beloved poses.

In Barakanasana, it just feels yummy. It's great for the hips. And it's one of those things that I actually,

as I'm sitting here recording this at the dining room table, I'm actually sitting in Barakana.

So go ahead and come to a comfortable seated position on the floor and bring souls of the feet together, bending your knee,

soles of the feet together and draw your heels up toward the body. Now open the souls of the feet

like a book and your book may not open much. It may just be the big toes.

That's all right. If you find however that your knees are quite above the hips, go ahead and

place a blanket under the hips. So to elevate your hips so your hips are actually above the

knees. Nice. And then open those feet, lift through the heart and, fold forward, working to keep the spine as straight as possible.

Take five to ten deep breaths and then come on up and voila.

We're ready to move into our interview with Patty Dye.
