Last Saturday, back at our favorite neighborhood yoga-and-party spot, Body Actualized Center, we rang in (late) Spring with a Cosmic evening full of, oh you know, the usual assortment of lovely and random plethora of BAC goodies. Marshmellows, blacklights, UV bouquets, a rainforest installation, kale chips, live DJing, light/laser show from Aurora of Mutual Dreaming, and always good vibes.

The evening doubled as a goodbye celebration for BAC’s most (in)famous yoga instructor and good-hearted core, Amy Jenkins, who gave a small speech describing the happiness of her community, the power of yoga, and her passion for being a woman! (I think her exact words were “I’m thankful I have a pussy!” – a statement met with great applause.) You go girl, and good luck beyond Bushwick’s factory skyline…

Not to worry! Body Actualized Center, fresh off of a write-up from the New York Times and with a spankin’ hot new website, is better than ever and features a full roster of daily yoga events and cosmic yoga on Sundays. We’ll keep you posted on their upcoming glowtastic parties, which so far seem to be bimonthly.

All day on the 2nd and 3rd they present, “Video Womb” an interactive music/video/performance experience that invites viewers to feel as though they are being transported “through the womb” in a trippy-birth-canal journey.
