Crush Hush IV // #DISTRIKTFAM
“YOUTH IS AN ATTITUDE, NOT A NUMBER. STAY YOUNG, STAY IGNORANT.
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE AND ENCOURAGE THEM.
BE CHILDLIKE IN WONDER. BE ROMANTIC IN REVOLT.
”
Describing the DISTRIKT is like sharing a meme (check this if you're confused). Cecil Adams from theStraightDope.com describes the concepts of memes as something that "is either really deep, or really, really obvious." On the first glance, you may get the joke. And upon closer inspection, you may see layers of meaning that go way deeper.
On the outside, the DISTRIKT is a community of people who engage in fitness classes and yoga. It is what you expect it to be, a hard, sweaty workout with fun people. Got it.
Once you go a bit deeper, you realize there's more to it. Jian describes the studio as a front for creating something bigger than just movement. Movement is the access point to create connection between humans. REAL connection, not the kind that's sold on a sponsored Instagram post. Before leaving my job, I knew I needed some time and space to reset. This was the perfect environment to recharge and take some time away from the city.
Calling Crush Hush a retreat, doesn't quite fully capture the experience. Leaving Crush Hush, I feel more connected. More understood. And more a part of a community.
