Tranquility DeJure, July 5th, 2010.

Bonjour, welcome to the 192nd edition of Tranquility DeJure, a guide to bringing tranquility

to your everyday. And can you believe we are eight segments away from our 200th. And it's very exciting.

It's crazy to think back in 2005 when this began. I remember I was sitting in the lovely

mehico and at someone's wedding and doing my very first podcast, not clearly at the wedding, but while

I was there on vacation. And it's just

fun to see the evolution. So thank you, thank you, thank you for joining me and eight episodes

to go until we have, what is it, that the bicentennial. So very exciting. Anyway, today's show,

I'm excited to really, really excited to have back the lovely Alana Kavaya.

And this time we're talking about her new book, Myth of the Asanas.

Workshops and retreats. A reminder that I'll be at Krapaloo next week. And I'm also going to

be in L.A. in Portland next week. So lots of fun things coming up right around

the corner. And of course, I'll be in Texas in August and leading that divine yoga retreat in

India in November with Darren Maine. Pose of the podcast is Happy Baby. So for Happy Baby, go ahead and

come on to your backs.

Hug your knees into your chest and rock from side to side a few times.

Now bring your hands on to your feet.

And then think of the feet pressing into the ceiling, but then you're pulling the feet down by pressing on the feet, and the feet are

directly over your knees. And then you can rock from side to side. So it's almost like you

were squatting on the ceiling, but you're on your back. And then rock from side to side.

It's also called dead bug, and you can probably see why.

I prefer happy baby.
