Downward DJ Q&A with Marina!

Charm City Yoga teacher, Marina Gan, is hosting Downward DJ: A Synergy of Music and Movement on Sunday, August 5th from 1-3pm featuring DJ Whighzeguy and DJ Matt Sound! This amazing sensory experience will bring about total immersion in synchronized sound and increased ability to live fully and joyfully in the body. Marina recently answered a few questions about her workshop. Check out all the details!

What are some of the connections between music and yoga?

I find music to breath life into my practice. The vibrations affect the body and the way in which it wants to move. To follow those vibrations can afford the opportunity to break free from the ways in which we are habitually in our bodies, removing obstacles to free movement and expression in our lives.

What kind of benefits to my body will I experience from this workshop? Will there be a specific focus on certain areas?

The benefits will be as noted above- greater ease and freedom of movement, liberated by fluid sequencing and the flow of the music.

Can you give me an idea of the kind of music we will listen to during the workshop?

Sure! Here is some music you can sample from DJ Whighzeguy.

What will be the focus of the instruction?

The focus will be on awareness of body, attunement to breath, and synchronizing the experience to the flow of the music.

What kind of pace can we expect from the class?

The pace will fluctuate throughout class and move to the flow of the music. At times it will be slow, allowing for the opportunity to hold and explore postures. At other times we’ll move at a more energetic pace.

I am new to yoga, will this class be accessible to me?

This class will be accessible to everybody. All of the postures will have variations suitable to those newer to the practice.

What’s something I may not expect from this workshop?

I would not expect one to be bored Expect to have fun!
