Last night I went to Flavorpill‘s monthly decompression, Get Your Dance On. It’s kind of my ideal situation: great DJs, friendly people, lots of gorgeous space, and healthy snacky treats. All before 11pm. They serve free kombucha, wine and chocolate all night, plus coconut water and granola bars. (Well, I guess it’s not free — it’s $20, but that gets you a week at Yogaworks, too.) Totally hippie but WAY fewer men with ponytails than the old Body Temple parties. Maybe zero. And like 90% of the crowd is dancing.
To share some holiday spirit, Resurgent Fitness offers a full day of excellent free classes, including abs at 11:15, capoeira at noon, Muay Thai at 1:15, bellydance at 2:30, Congolese dance at 4pm, yoga at 5:15, and Djimbe dance and drum at 6:30. Call for a full schedule.
Oooh! Dance New Amsterdam, one of the oldest studios in town, is having free classes all day tomorrow! It’s a celebration of their 25th anniversary.

I did my teacher training at Atmananda, after finding the place through… an open house. Who knows what you’ll find there?
“Karma is the trouble you make for yourself by being nervous and worried, and by trying to do what you think is right.
… as soon as you don’t care so much — or when you get interested in everything equally — things loosen up and start to happen. This is very un-Freudian.”
