Om to the New
Year
Instead of indulging in a
bacchanalian display, greet
the new year with peace
and serenity at a candlelit
yoga class in Park Slope.
Bend, stretch, and fl ex your
way through a vinyasa fl ow
and restorative yoga class,
followed by a meditation
session — all accompanied
by live tunes from musician
Nora Heilmann on the African
kalimba and the Australian
didgeridoo. Postclass,
quench your thirst
and toast the new year with
a glass of champagne.
Bend and Bloom Yoga

who before the bridge shuttered
in July said he could
not promise that construction
of the pool wouldn’t
require him to close the
span he is now replacing —
wouldn’t comment on the
possibility of the two projects
butting heads.
And he offered no more
clarity on when the swimming
hole will be ready
for locals to dive in, stating
his staff must fi rst
raise all the necessary
funds and choose an architect
before he can provide
a timeline.
“I’m not going to give
you a year,” he said. “What
we have said is that we hope
to have the pool as soon as
we can. Once we have an
architect on board, and the
fund-raising continues, we
will have a better sense of a
schedule for the pool.”
Landau also is confi -
dent that the looming reconstruction
of the Brooklyn–
Queens Expressway’s
triple cantilever — which
stretches 1.5 miles between
Atlantic Avenue
and Sands Street, and cuts
beneath the stretch of Columbia
Heights where locals
currently enter Middagh
Street’s Squibb Park
— won’t affect work on the
new bridge or pool.
But the park leader conceded
that using either during
the expressway repair
may not be a pleasant experience.
“It is possible that while
the BQE is under construction
there will be impact
of the enjoyment of
the space as it relates to
noise and dust, but there
are things we can do operationally
to mitigate that as
well once the pool is open,”
he said.

Reverse the clock
2018 was not a great
year, and we have our
doubts about 2019. So let’s
head back to the early 2000s
instead! You can dance to
throwback hits from the
early aughts at Union Hall’s
affordably priced “New
Year’s Eve Time Machine”
bash — and the cheap ticket
means you will have plenty
left over for drinks!
