Everything is change. My great nephew Pax Ocean is toddling. It feels like he was born a minute ago ~ it's been over a year!
Recently I received a 15th anniversary memento from Pure Yoga's parent, Equinox for having taught at Pure since November 2009. And now a bigger change; a new chapter ....
 On April 1st, Pure Yoga New York becomes part of the Equinox W.76th Club.
We retain the name and branding of Pure Yoga; even the giant W.76 group fitness schedule for April lists our classes as Pure Yoga classes, in amongst the many main studio and other yoga, barre, and pilates classes.
Through April, Pure class schedules remain unchanged, even as our door entrance closes. Future schedules will see monthly updates as is usual for Equinox clubs. So in May, and June, and future months, we will likely see schedule changes of varying degrees.
 Renovations will begin, and one-third of Pure Yoga's space will close. Entrance to Pure will be through Equinox W.76's 344 Amsterdam Avenue doors.
All that said, and sudden though the changes came to us all, I am hopeful for the Equinox W.76 membership, who will have so much more yoga access.
And my fellow Pure teachers who were not yet Equinox teachers, automatically now are ~ which can only be a boon for Equinox! And for teachers too, if they let it feel so for them.
As for me, I love many things about being an Equinox teacher since 2021. The club facilities! The offering of something I truly value, to a wider audience. And the humans I work with.
 So: Welcome Spring! Attended by all her symbols of change.
The Vernal Equinox 3/19. Ramadan devotions 3/10-4/9. Holi's spring colors were 3/25. Easter's joy and hope 3/31.
And we look ahead to a Solar Eclipse April 8th, Passover beginning April 22nd. Buckle up, humans!

 Need more empathy in your life? Guess what ~ we all do. And you can learn more access, both for you and others.
NYC NVC's year-long, online Compassion Course is built on the work of the late Marshall Rosenberg, founder of Non-Violent Communication (NVC).
The Course is global, and perennial. The 2024 course year begins June 19th and registration is open now.
I host an online practice group Wednesdays 8PM-9:30 ET, starting July 3rd, that runs biweekly through the year.
 We are a learning community of empathic souls.
Two lovely members I met on the Compassion Course took part in my January 2023 YINspirations yoga retreat! Sweet connects!

Yes, of course you must vote your conscience. And if your conscience resonates with Marianne Williamson's messages for America, please consider donating or volunteering. And vote for her in the state primaries. 40,000 already have.
Her platform and voice are there to strengthen Biden, not to weaken him. That's why she's running as a Democrat, not as an Independent. A vote for Marianne is a vote for her policies.
She believes they are what's needed to restore Peace and Justice, and to win against Trump. If you do too, tell Biden: vote at the primary for Marianne.
