“the only blind person at christmastime is he who has not christmas in his heart.”
~ helen keller
the holidays are in full bloom. festive tunes play throughout the stores, wreaths, lights and menoras are on display, and santa look-alikes welcome holiday shoppers. now is the perfect time to reflect on the reason for this special season, and to set an intention for the holidays. rather than approaching the season with an exhausted list of to-dos, let this year be different. light a balsam fir-scented candle, draw a cinnamon-scented bath, play some of your fave sinatra holiday tunes, and turn off your cell phone. take some time before the rush overcomes you to reflect on the year, and honor this season of giving through these five fabulous holiday tips:
- write down your milestones from 2005 (ex. began journal writing, left an unhappy relationship, took up a yoga habit, set boundaries with family, found my core), and note what you'd like your milestones to be this time 2006 (ex. query letter sent to publishers, relocate, paid off retail therapy debt, new job in non-profit, cut out fast food).

it’s funny how life works. it’s wonderful, it’s challenging, it’s mysterious, sometimes painful, and always, always changing — kind of like yoga practice.
five years ago, i moved here from colorado to take my chances at a new relationship and to give a stab at the big city. i’d never lived on the east coast and was looking forward to living in a city with a night-life and a rainbow of people.
my transition was hard — i couldn’t understand why no one said "hi" on the street, and after being accosted by a man screaming distorted language i learned quickly that walking at night by myself was not a wise idea. what kind of a place had i moved to? very soon after my move my relationship began to crumble. "why the hell am i here?" i would ask myself. this was the question i continued to ask for a long time.

 lynn barber — tranquil space dupont
as a newcomer to washington, dc, i feel so fortunate to have discovered tranquil space yoga on one of my very first visits. kimberly and her lovely staff of teachers and studio assistants created a wonderful cocoon and safe haven for me, especially in those early days when i knew virtually no one in town. after many years of yoga practice, i knew from the first class that i was home! i look forward to continuing my yoga practice at tranquil space!
namaste!

 lou hobson — tranquil space bethesda
i took my first yoga class in college. looking back, that particular year was a good one for me. whether it was the yoga which made things good, or whether the fact that that things were good led me to yoga, i am not sure. at any rate, i can't help but notice that in a year that has been one of the best that i can remember, i am back in yoga class again. i wonder if there is a connection.

as a practioner of yoga since 1997, i bounced around several different studios in the metropolitan area. but when i found tranquil space i felt as if i were truly home. i immediately loved the atmosphere of the studio — cozy, chic, and soothing. but, more then that, i loved the knowledgable teachers and innovative yoga sequences. now that i am a teacher at tranquil space i feel myself blessed to be a part of such a talented and creative team. i look forward to the days that i come to the studio, whether it be to take class or teach class. the simple act of walking through the front door makes me feel excited and happy. and it's heartening to know that i work for a studio which does so much for the community it inhabits. tranquil space donates to many worthy charities, including the dc humane society, my sister's place and the arbor day foundation. it's such a joy to know that i am a part of such a caring, compassionate community. thank you, tranquil space!
