Welcome to
Tranquility du Jour

Everything I do began as a seed-
a desire for an experience
that I couldn’t find.

Your tranquility journey

Because you’re here,
I know you’re looking for ways to live with more

in your busy life.

The good news is, you’re in the right place. Tranquility du Jour started as a yoga studio in 1999 and has grown into a like-hearted global community on a path to live and spread tranquility.

Think of Tranquility du Jour as your guide to infusing balance and beauty into your every day. Everything I do here builds on the five TDJ Tenets—compassion, creativity, mindfulness, style, and wellness. Through the content, courses, and community, I hope you’ll feel nourished every step of the way.

You’ll find the TDJ Tenets—the 5 principles of living a Tranquility du Jour lifestyle—sprinkled throughout everything I do here.

What are the TDJ Tenets?

Tranquility du Jour stands for infusing tranquility and beauty into your every day. This manifesto captures what this looks like!

What is the TDJ Manifesto?

My vision for this dateless planner was to serve as a catch-all for dreams, days’ events, and deepest thoughts. A chance to pause and find pockets of tranquility within the busyness of daily life. Chock-full of tips, tools, and checklists, inside you’ll find four seasonal layouts, 12 monthly layouts and 60 weekly layouts, invitations to pause, lists to complete, plant-based recipes, journal prompts, yoga and meditation how-tos, and more. Personalize it with ephemera, colored markers, washi tape, and your heart’s longings.

What is the TDJ Daybook?

It began in 2006 with a pink and leopard-print book about living yoga beyond the mat with Hip Tranquil Chick. A variety of lifestyle books have followed in its footsteps sharing tools, tips, recipes, checklists, how-tos, and inspiration. You’ll also find a pink planner that captures your dreams, days, and deepest thoughts. Read along for insights and support to savor the tranquility lifestyle.

FAQs

What are your favorite books?

What does tranquility mean to you?

Webster's Dictionary defines tranquility as the quality or state of being tranquil. Tranquil is then defined as free from agitation of mind or spirit. I define tranquility as "the quality of calm within a full and meaningful life."

To me, full means active by using my time and energy on what brings me alive, while meaningful means I'm contributing to the bigger picture and making a difference in some small way. Yes, self-care is important to find tranquility and so is getting out there and using our voices.

The word tranquility is woven throughout my work dating back to 1999 with my yoga studio, Tranquil Space. Tranquility is easier to find meditating on a mountaintop or while on vacation, but what about when the dog is barking, kid is crying, or deadline is looming?

That's where it gets juicy. Together let's explore the calm among the chaos that contributes to a full and meaningful life.

What causes does Tranquility du Jour support?

In alignment with our TDJ Tenet of compassion, a portion of all proceeds benefits Pigs & Pugs Project and Borneo Orangutan Survival, and I'm a proud member of 1% for the Planet. Thank you for helping make a difference!

How do you find tranquility wearing multiple hats?

I describe myself as a tranquility seeker and do my best to infuse beauty and balance into my every day.

You’ll often find me reading and writing non-fiction books, practicing dégagés at the ballet barre, dreaming up a new offering, sipping tea, sitting with clients, and podcasting or blogging about what's most on my mind.

Also, I’m a self-care devotee: regular massage, tons of water, ballet, journaling, and rescue pug snuggles.

I have a business idea and want your feedback.

Congrats, ideas are so exciting! For advice on launching a new business, please peruse my book Tranquilista. I share many lessons learned plus tons of resources.

If you want feedback catered directly to your situation, consider a coaching session. I work with a few select clients per year. Due to time constraints, I am unable to meet for tea or chat via email regarding business or non-profit ventures beyond these offerings.

I want to write a book, how do I get started?

In 2006 I recorded a podcast that outlines my experience from concept to publication. Listen to it here and learn all my tips and tricks. In addition, on pp. 26-27 of Tranquilista I share a timeline of my writing journey. Good luck!
