Book Reviews of Hip Tranquil Chick: A Guide to Life On and Off the Yoga Mat
Book Review: Fun and inspiring!
Summary: 5 Stars
My copy of Hip Tranquil Chick just arrived and I love it. I was already a fan of Kimberly Wilson from listening to her wonderful podcasts. This book distills for me some of the fun and wisdom that the podcasts have brought me.
It's not primarily about the physical practice of yoga postures although there is a chapter with some nice practice sequences. (You can get a CD with the yoga sequences on it from her web site - it does not seem to be available on Amazon yet). It's more like having a really supportive friend who really wants to help you be the best you can be in all areas of your life. In addition to her own tips and tales, Kimberly is very generous with references to other helpful resources and books.
Chapters:
1. Personalized Practice
2. Sensational Sequences
3. Moral Code Musings
4. Visionary Value
5. Self-Nurturing Survival
6. Creative Connection
7. Refined Relations
8. Professional Prosperity
9. Financial Finesse
10. Signature Style
11. Soulful Surroundings
12. Savvy Social Conscoiusness
Just tune in to the podcasts (you can listen from your computer if you don't have an iPod) and buy the book, they are very fun and inspiring!
Book Review: Not just for chicks!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book to be helpful not just to all the hip tranquil chicks, but also to the hip tranquil dudes! Kimberly is really speaking to anyone who is looking for meaning and balance in their lives - a particularly difficult struggle in 2006. I found the yoga sequences really helpful, as well as the tips and suggestions on taking the lessons from yoga into other aspects of one's life. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is looking to deepen their commitment to yoga in their life, or who is curious about yoga and needs an introduction. There is also a great CD that goes with the book that makes an excellent companion! Book Review: A great modern mix of yoga and lifestyle choices
Summary: 5 Stars
Hip Tranquil Chick offers a fabulous, non-dogmatic approach to taking the principles of yoga and applying them to the "real world": finances, career, relationships, civic/social involvement, etc. It really fills a void in the yoga literature. Rather than preaching austerity or turning its nose up at the realities of contemporary life, Hip Tranquil Chick celebrates the modern gal who is fully immersed in the world around her. Kimberly's unique voice shines through in the fun, focused, and insightful text, and the illustrations add a dash of inspiration. I particularly enjoyed the section on creating a Vision Statement for your life - something to return to again and again. Book Review: awe-inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is jam packed with great information on how to have a balanced soulful life. Since my introduction to Hip tranquil chicks book, podcast, and blog....and hopefully her retreat in June. I am a changed woman. Life is sweet....Book Review: Fun, Inspiring, and Useful
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this book for any woman that could use some inspiration for those basic things we all want in life: creating more time for ourselves, feeling better physically and spiritually, acting on creative impulses, making your home more peaceful, finally getting your wardrobe to a respectable level of comfort and style, organizing your finances, going after that dream job... Kimberly touches on all these topics in her book with an infectious enthusiasm and she makes it feel POSSIBLE! Check it out!
