Fierce Club Opens in Nolita...

On March 4, I attended a free first class at Sadie Nardini & co's new Fierce Club (a yoga studio) in Nolita, and on March 5 I dropped by the opening party. Wow, there were a lot of fancy people there. Yoga connections, artsy connections, just an all around "I-know-people" kind of vibe.

I got the sense that the Fierce Club intends to bring rock-n-roll back to downtown yoga. Both the class and the party reminded me of Jivamukti in the old days of butt-kicking classes, tiny changing rooms, and a fight to be seen.
