greetings from vegas
in vegas at magic, which i understand to be the world's largest tradeshow. i'm doing my semi-annual buying for the tranquiliT boutique. who would have thought that shopping would be so exhausting? 8-10 hours per day of pure sensory overload, co-existing with 95,000 other buyers, making decisions on what i think our yogis will like, and waiting in line after line after line.
i recall my first tradeshow in nyc with some serious fashionistas in january 2004. it was a bit of a shock into a new world SO very different than yoga, especially for someone who lives in yoga, not couture,wear. the fashion world IS different but it also allows me the opportunity to reflect on how to carry my yoga everywhere. isn't it easier to stay within a bubble where everyone is like you? isn't growth made when you take your values into new venues? this brings me back to the book i mentioned in yesterday's muse, the diamond cutter , where a buddhist monk took his values into the diamond industry.
a philosophy that i've always tried to instill at tranquil space is the notion of taking one's yoga off the mat and into the world non-dogmatically but with compassion. it's easy to do that if you only surround yourself with people just like you with the same views, same clothes, same background, same beliefs, same future goals, same spiritual outlook, etc. but what if you took yourself into a new world - volunteering, communing with people outside of your circle, exploring new fields, hearing other people's stories?
isn't it true that "everyone wants to change the world, but no one things of changing herself?" (one of my fave quotes - author unknown) well, why can't you be the catalyst for this change? exploring yourself and your prejudices, recognizing that you can only grow through change, challenge and new experiences. living in a bubble or only associating with people just like you probably won't offer much growth opportunity. i always smirk when people say they need to travel to india to learn to meditate or do yoga. i think it is much harder to try to meditate while surrounded by the sounds of the big city or to practice your yoga while surrounded by 95,000 people? that's what yoga has taught me. back to the bustling crowds of vegas...

a celebration of business
“10 principles of enlightened business: enhance the well-being of others, respect your financial commitments, act with absolute equanimity, convey true impressions, bring people together, speak professionally and respectfully, speak about meaningful things, find happiness in what you have, celebrate others' achievements, see the hidden potential of all things.”
~ geshe michael roach, author of the diamond cutter
when my managing director, gina davis, called exclaiming that we’d received a letter from the washington post announcing that tranquil space had been voted best yoga studio, i was elated. this was the first year that this category was listed, and i was delighted to see yoga recognized as such an important part of dc’s community. the letter stated that this award placed tranquil space within the top 50 businesses in dc, truly an honor for a business that began in a living room less than six years ago. i can’t emphasize enough how lucky i feel to be surrounded by such an amazing community of students, teachers, managers, consultants – all the special members of the tranquiliTeam.
we strive to make every detail enhance this experience - sounds, smells, touches, colors, comfort, encouragement, challenge, and creativity. each of you have contributed exponentially to this experience - from attending classes in my living room to a church parlor to p street, teaching students, picking up the supplies and treats, assisting in classes, supporting our workshops, mingling off the mat at our community events, keeping the studio in order, expanding ts to bethesda and penn quarter, offering top-notch tranquilit treatments to our students, creating specialty programs such as newbie, pre- and post-natal, helping spread the word about tranquil space, merchandising to help keep the sign-in area fresh, and sitting on the visionary team or advisory board. i could go on and on! the students and team attracted to tranquil space are truly unique and gifted.
considering my degrees are in psychology and women’s studies, the operating of a business has been a “learn as you go” experience. i’ve realized that it truly is about initiative, and a strong desire to build something that serves a community outside of myself. that’s what had me passionate about working 17-hour days designing teacher training, updating the website, developing the creativity circle, conceptualizing the tranquiliT line, researching retreat ideas, writing the newsletters, and all the details that go into the creation of a business at the beginning. now i find a 14-hour day to be a bit too long, and am constantly working to squeeze in that self-care time that i so believe in. a pedicure, yoga practice, massage, reading time, and a good nap sure go a long way.
among 15 other books by my bedside, i’m reading this great one called the diamond cutter: the buddha on managing your business and your life about a buddhist monk who built a large diamond operation from nothing using ancient wisdom of Buddhism. he shares that westerners sometimes equate being in business with being out of sync with trying to lead a spiritual life. i recall walking into an independent bookstore out west earlier this year, and asking where their business section was (my fave section after self-help!). the front desk person grimaced as he replied that they didn’t carry those books. he must have forgotten that he was working in a business that was bringing a great service to his community, and that also assisted with his ability to sustain his way of life. the author goes on to share how a person with greater resources can do much more good in the world than one without, and that doing business is about creating meaning. he also wrote that the goal of business, and of ancient tibetan wisdom, is to enrich ourselves and to achieve prosperity inside and out. one of my favorite points that the author makes is that it is important to never lose a generous outlook or to lose creativity surrounding challenges, reiterating the notion that we create what we focus on.
as I continue to strive to create a sustainable business that is enlightened, I want to thank you for supporting tranquil space along the way. some of you have grown with us since my living room and it has been a true treat to have you along for this journey. thank you for assisting with its growth into a true lifestyle-focused studio where we seek to enhance washingtonians’ way of life. i hope that tranquil space continues to help you sprinkle touches of tranquility into your everyday urban life. join us for a charity community event, a yoga class, a specialty workshop, a massage, or a browse in the tranquiliT boutique - your tranquil space awaits you.

fall tranquiliT designs en route
i spent almost 5 hours today posing for the camera and trying to capture the essence of my fall line. do you ever have those days when crawling out of bed is a small feat, much less trying to look engaged for 5 hours? it's been a looonnnnggg week - seemed to be a consensus from students in class tonight too! anyway, i'm very excited to share some designs that i've been working on the past few months, along with this great new print - a chocolate and pink pucci print and more items in velvet - capri pants, capelet, and shrug!
this line has become such a fun creative outlet and it is exciting to see yoginis from around the country rave about their tranquiliT pieces. a friend passed along an article from last week's wall street journal which claimed that yoga apparel is moving to the street. amazing, that's the WHOLE reason i started tranquiliT - i wanted a true lifesytyle outfit that didn't look like i was heading to aerobics and also offered me style for post-practice activities. another funny aspect mentioned in the article is that there are people who wear yoga clothes but don't practice and are called posers. cute huh, posers - get it yoga poses, posers. ;)
look for fun, new photos and designs coming soon - a camisole with a long body and side slits with a build-in bra, gaucho pants (this season's must-have and SOOO comfy), a pucci print cross front tunic (perfect "en route to yoga cover up" and dress with your fave fall boots), and the perfect acceessory- a scarf in pucci or black to wear in your hair, around your waist or around your neck. the great thing about the line is the ability to mix and match the whole line to create a comfy, yet chic outfit with your fave pieces - jeans, floppy brim hat, chunky beaded black necklace, and sequined anything.
as someone passionate about fashion, passionate about yoga, passionate about life (even though i was a bit tired today), and passionate about creation, i see creating a comfy and chic lifestyle as a must-have for this fall.
"fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."

Embracing Our Inner Kali
Black/White, Yin/Yang, Light/Darkness, Sun/Moon, Masculine/Feminine - yoga teaches us to embrace both sides considering that is what "hatha" means. While away this past weekend for a former teacher's wedding, I was blessed to carve out some yoga time at a beloved studio in Sag Harbor. The teacher had a great message that she wove throughout class on embracing our inner Kali who is explained below:
The Mythology: Kali (pronounced kah'lee), is the Hindu Goddess of creation, preservation, and destruction. She is the insatiable hunger of time that births, then devours. Skulls, cemeteries, and blood are all associated with her worship. Kali's energy is uncontrollable. After killing two demons, she got drunk on their blood and began dancing on their dead flesh. She danced herself into a frenzy until she realized she almost danced Shiva to death.
The Lessons of this Goddess: Kali has begun her dance in your life to tell you it is time to face your fears. All that is lurking ominously, either buried deep in your inner darkness or close by, needs to be stared in the eye and brought into the ight of consciousness. Are you fears serving you by warning you about dangerous places, things, or people? Or do your fears prevent you from dancing your dance, living your life, creating with Creation? The Goddess comes to tell you that your dance is needed as part of the whole Dance of Creation. Wholeness is nurtured when you reclaim the pieces of yourself that you've given over to fear. Most fears are formless. By naming and witnessing the fear, you gain power. Wholeness is created when you learn to acknowledge your fears and walk through them.
Poem of Kali
I am the dance of death that is behind all life, the ultimate horror, the ultimate ecstasy. I am existence, I am the dance of destruction that will end this world, the timeless void, the formless devouring mouth, I am rebirth, Let me dance you to death, Let me dance you to life. Will you walk through your fears to dance with me? Will you let me cut off your head and drink your blood? then will you cut off mine? Will you face all the horror all the painall the sorrowand say "yes"? I am all that you dread, all that terrifies. I am your fear, will you meet me?
(Mythology, Lessons, and Poem from www.angelfire.com/va/goddesses/kali.html)
I loved hearing a reminder that we ALL experience emotions that we're not proud of - anger, greed, guilt, jealousy - and that we have to go into the places and explore them in order to grow. Pema Chodron in The Wisdom of No Escape says to make friends with our demons because they are here to teach us, and that once we understand what they are here to to teach us, they will become our friendly companions on the spiritual path. Basically, we won't fight the emotions but we'll go deeper to understand them. Pema also noted that our idiosyncracies are what make us uniquely beautiful. I loved that idea! Really, my mind that races from thought to thought and my incredible lack of patience (always wanting things yesterday) is what makes me special? Wow! I like that thought.
However, the overall point the teacher was trying to make this weekend was that we have to sit with emotions and situations that make us uncomfortable, explore them, analyze them, feel them, scream, cry, and let them out in order to move past them. The only way to move forward is by moving through the parts of ourselves that we don't like and prefer not to acknowledge. All of life is cyclical and as one door closes, another opens. After a dark night, there is going to be a brighter morning.
One final notion that she said, and I've read in a Deepak Chopra book, is the reminder that what we see in others that we don't like is actually a mirrored reflection of what we don't like in ourselves. Now that MY friends is one to ponder....

my adventurous friday....
last friday was quite the day - began with a ride in a cop car and ended with the in-person performance of one of my fave artists - eminem! whew. while starting my work from home day at 9am, i was on the phone with the studio when a man scaled the fence of my tiny back patio. ironically and in the shock of the moment, i shook my finger at him and shooed him on his way. i shook my finger at him???? amazing what one does without thinking. i continued my conversation and 10 minutes later, he appeared on the other side of the patio, scaling that fence.
now, i begin to get concerned. having moved from a 4th floor walk-up to a first level condo last year, i've been nervous about feeling so exposed. well, friday reminded me why. at this point, i'm concerned. he's eyeing my beau's bike (which was not locked the night before for the first time ever....) and i'm calling 911. i watch him evaluate the situation, i describe him to the dispatcher, and he did not bother looking in through the glass doors this time - guess he was over the finger-shaking antics. he knew what he wanted. while i was on the phone with 911, i also called my beau, had him on speaker so he could hear what was going on and he began rushing home. after a few minutes that seemed to last much longer, he disappeared again. at this point, i was on the phone with my 11 and noon appointments, telling them i had a slight change to my morning plans, and had to reschedule. the only thing i regret is not using my digital camera to capture my nimble little friend's image. we keep it out at all times because one never knows when our baby black pug louis will do something spectacular.
so, the dispatcher calls back, they caught someone matching the description at the corner. yay! justice! he had given up on the bike at that moment (really too much work for not a ton of reward - bike is nothing fancy and the snatch bit involved a high fence, brush and more effort then he was probably up for on a leisurely morning stroll through the alleys of dc). the police pick me up and take me to identify the suspect. riding in the back of a police car was not how i intended to start my day! however, i felt so empowered for handling the situation somewhat gracefully (finger shaking, 911 calling, exclaiming "so you caught the little booger" when the dispatcher shared the news), so grateful that the police acted quickly, and so hopeful that this fence-scaler would look into purchasing his future bike rather than taking others'.
as we get closer, he matches the description to a tee - literally, except his jersey didn't have red letters and i swear there was a red number on the jersey of my fence-scaler. bummer. what are the chances that two people who are dressed so similarly (head gear and all) would be at the scene? i assume they let him go as i was almost certain about the red numbers and felt sorry for the poor lad who matched the fence-scalers description. when the police joined me in the alley to assess the scene, we noticed that my pal had pried open my neighbor's fence and used their ladder to scale my fence the second time. talk about determination. he's got that going for him. i now have visions of riding around with those nice men in blue and helping them catch fence-scalers and more.
after this drama, i got to go for my third adult cavity filling. i ask if they have the gas, not a big fan of needles in my mouth. she laughs and blames the rise in adult cavities on too much spring water drinking. i know the truth, i have a slight (ok, BIG) sugar problem.
my finale for the day's adventures was to see eminem in concert. i have this amazing fascination with a man who has shaped and gained such respect in an industry where he is a minority. i love to see underdogs make a statement. think tiger woods with golf. think oprah winfrey with entertainment domination. the crowd was eclectic - mainly young kids from the burbs - and he put on an entertaining show. as we left with hope of beating the insane nissan pavilion traffic, he sang lose yourself - truly an inspirational song! lose yourself in the music, the moment, you own it, you better never let it go, you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime. yo!
friday's adventures left me tired and pensive this weekend. sometimes it takes a small shake-up to make you less complacent, more mindful, and more grateful. we've locked up the bike. i'm keenly aware of my surroundings, cutting down on sugar, and listening to more inspirational tunes along the way.

a reminder to slow down
I came across this poem this evening while reading an e-newsletter. I loved it and had to share. Enjoy and remember... take time - make yourself some tea, pull out your yoga mat, take a bubble bath, and write in your journal. Ahhhhhh.
Take Time (Author Unknown)
Take time to think - thoughts are the source of power.
Take time to play - play is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to read - reading is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to pray - prayer can be a rock of strength in time of trouble.
Take time to love - loving is what makes living worthwhile.
Take time to be friendly - friendships give life a delicious flavor.
Take time to laugh - laughter is the music of the soul.
Take time to give - any day of the year is too short for selfishness.
Take time to dream - dreams show you what is possible.
Take time to work - work is the price of success.
Take time to do your work well - pride in your work, no matter what it is, nourishes the mind and the spirit.
Take time to show appreciation - thanks is the frosting on the cake of life.
