I’ve never been to a public bathhouse, but now you’ve got the opening lines of a Gogol Bordello song stuck in my head:

Sitting in a Russian bathhouse on Avenue B
No matter how much we sweat we just can’t agree

I love that song… Nice to have you back on the ‘nets, AWB.

the baths are pretty addictive. you’ll skip the t-shirt and find yourself craving 200 degree heat — even on warm days.

eeewww! I get skeeved when the guy next to me on the stationary bike splashes sweat on me. Not that I don’t want to try the Russian baths – sounds like fun in a “I Made It through The Russian Baths” t-shirt kinda way. And anyway, I think I’d be more worried about baking my brains in that situation.

I’m not entirely sure how the hair got there, but I’m nearly certain it wasn’t there before class. And it wasn’t nude yoga. I saw a nude yoga class once, but I can’t imagine doing one unless I could pick my classmates.

was this a nude yoga class? if so, i’d suggest a little more space between the mats.

i have to admit, as much as i favor nudity in general, when i’ve read in Time Out or some other place about places in the city that do nude yoga, I get pretty skeeved.
