yoga for anarchists
walking home yesterday we look up above our local deli on Allen and Stanton, and see a row of giant windows, brightly lit with no covering, and a room full of sweaty people flexing inside. has a new Lucile Roberts opened in the LES? nope, it’s a big brand new yoga center lighting up all of Allen St – Bikram Yoga Lower East Side. couple of our neighbors look up with us and laugh at the spectacle of half naked bodies dripping sweat and stretching about in the big brightly lit windows and wonder “is this a good thing?”… (not the yoga center, a lovely addition of course, but…) oy vay – do we have to look at those fit bodies as we make our beer and ice cream runs to the deli below?!

aside from the overly bright windows, we’re excited to see them come into the Allen St./LES hood and plan on taking advantage of their “$20 intro special: all first time visitors will receive an unlimited week of yoga for $20.” – take the skinheads stretching!
