I stumbled across this book on Amazon and being a Washingtonian and a young yogi - I decided to check this book out. I admit, like some of the reviewers, I expected to be rolling my eyes at every mention of pink, leopard print and 'inner bliss' but I was pleasantly surprised. Hip, Tranquil Chick has much to offer and reminders of easily-forgotten-life-lessons for everyone. I very much liked the set up of the book, moving from the basics of yoga and yoga theory and history through various aspects of a young woman's life and at the conclusion of each chapter there are suggestions for reading material, inspirational and creative websites, and music. Many times I had read/listened/explored what was there and sometimes I found a little treasure to check out.
Not everyone is born with a natural sense of style, is brimming over with confidence, has a complete set of perfect life goals and an unbiased world view - people pick things up along the way, at their own pace. Ms. Wilson recognizes that in various aspects of a girl's life, she might need a guru and she might not. So if you take this book with a grain of salt, and read with the intention of learning something new, I think there is some fun material here presented in an inspirational, creative way. I enjoyed it.
Hip Tranquil Chick: A Guide to Life On and Off the Yoga Mat Overview
Hip Tranquil Chick addresses that huge but unacknowledged demographic of fashionistas equally at home at Bergdorf's and the yoga studio. The book is divided into two major sections that cover all bases for the style-minded seeker. "On the Mat" shares seven must-have modern-girl yoga sequences, such as "Healing Hip Openers" and "Negativity Releasing Heart Openers," and explains yoga philosophy in hip chick language. "Off the Mat" showcases nine ways to become more fabulous and balanced by incorporating yogic qualities like introspection, strength, and flexibility into daily life. The nine lifestyle chapters reveal how to turn on-the-mat wear into on-the-town style, how to create soulful surroundings at home and work, mindful money management, finding a passion-filled career, how strategic soiree-throwing creates community, tips for practicing social consciousness, and more. Each chapter is accompanied by helpful "OMwork" to translate these concepts into reality. Abundant illustrations accentuate the text, and a "savvy sources" section encourages further exploration.
