Charm City Yoga Fest is right around the corner and we spent a little time with Martha McAlpine to find out what she will be teaching at the three day event! 1. What you will be teaching at CCY Farm Fest? I'll be teaching an hour of kundalini on Saturday morning at 10:30. Kundalini is a practice everyone can do. It is a bit of a change from the vinyasa style of the signature CCY classes. Rather than making and holding poses, we do kriyas which are gestures that are maintained for between one and three minutes. The purpose is to develop both strength of body and strength of mind. The gestures are simple and available to beginners as well as seasoned practitioners. As the sequence of the class builds there is a sense of energy and ability that is matched with a deep sense of calm. Just like hatha yoga, kundalini prepares us for meditation and freedom from the fluctuations of the mind. 2. What are you looking forward to at CCY Farm Fest? I can't wait to hear Dharma Mittra's teachings, Kim's morning practice, Jess's rave, Camille's yin practice, Mimi's bodukon... Can you tell I'm excited for the festival?! 3. The opportunity to spend a weekend with the CCY community is such a treat; what is your favorite part about our community? As much as I respect and enjoy our teachers, I look forward to sweating it out with all the amazing students and participants on our mats. I get to be a student with my students and that is the best part of the community for me. See you there! If you haven't purchase your tickets to Charm City Yoga Fest don't wait!
