Boodiba was really kind in getting me some passes to try Pure on the upper west side, and that means, if all goes well, I will be practicing with John, and some of the fellow yogis I used to practice with at yoga sutra.
The title says Pluto because that is how she nicknamed, which is funny, and it does reflect on how far north it is. I happen to live all the way downtown so it will be like re-living the good old days of serious commuting.
I am excited about pure, it is so clean,spacious, spa-like (I visited the East side in August of 08 and it caused quite an impression on me).
It rains in NY, and I am so excited about practice, seeing John again, AND the opportunity to bathe afterwards, with fresh clean towels! what a luxury.
Have you had your "Pure" experience yet?
They make it really easy, I've gotta say. I'm going to bring all my visiting yogi friends there.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a very impressive place to bring yogic friends to, I feel like "haaaaa"
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice. When I signed up I totally felt like a valued customer. My "yoga adviser" goes, if you bring in twelve people, not only will John be psyched but you'll get a free year :) ha ha. Actually I don't know any "homeless" yogis in NYC right now, but if your shala is closed for the week ANYway it's a no brainer.
ReplyDeleteI used to practice at Pure Yoga in Singapore - they're part of the same group headquartered in Hong Kong. I loved it coz it felt so... luxe. Call me shallow, but because they made it so easy for you - mats, lockers, showers, nice lighting/ ambience... I was immediately in a good mood and ready to start a yoga class. The only thing was in Singapore, they were in a skyscraper and had airconditioning the whole time. Not very fresh, and the air was quite dry. Glad you enjoyed it too!

Hi Skippetty, yes, that is how I feel too, "pampered", "ready for practice", and I would not call you shallow at all, nice things are nice :-)
ReplyDeletethe air conditioner thing does sound strange though...
