An obscure fact about my hobbies outside of work is that I truly enjoy practicing yoga. I am absolute awe as to what my body will allow me to do. It's a great way to relieve stress, muscle tension, and lift your spirits. I have been going to a yoga studio in DC for almost 4 years now (short hiatus when I lived in NYC). The place is called Tranquil Space and has a very vivacious owner named Kimberly Wilson. This place is so cool, it's a little community and the teachers are great. The place recently moved to a new location in DC, a much bigger and more beautiful place. The whole studio is made of eco-friendly bamboo and reused wood from an old farmhouse. A definite tranquil space away from the hustle and bustle of the city, work, and life.
Kimberly, the owner, has also come out with her own line of eco-friendly clothing called TranquiliT. These are by far the most flattering wrap dresses I have ever worn. I normally have much trouble with wrap dresses, they usually reveal too much neckline. I also purchased the Grecia n Maxi dress from the TranquiliT line and I am absolutely in love with the pleating detail in the front. The picture does not do it justice. In the words of the Gap Girls from SNL - you can belt it, cinch it - it's versatile!
The clothing offered is made of organic bamboo and organic cotton. It has a jersey feel but keeps its shape through washing. You can even cut it and it won't unravel like regular jersey.
The clothing is made in DC by a local seamstress so the prices aren't H&M/Target low but I think anyone who tries it will not be disappointed. These purchases were a highlight to my weekend! Ohm and Namaste :-)
