Charm City Yoga opened in 2000 and our first Yoga Alliance registered teacher training was held in 2003. Today, there seven CCY locations offering daily classes. The studio teams with talented teachers and passionate students. The community is dedicated to health and wellness transformation through yoga practice. CCY is a frequent winner of Best of Baltimore in Baltimore Magazine and City Paper. The studio has presented at Yoga Journal Conference and MindBody University, sharing its expertise with the community at large. Under Armour is the official outfitter of Charm City Yoga.
Within a year of starting out, the numbers of students became overwhelming, and as a result Kim began to train teachers so we could offer more classes. Her teaching emphasizes the eight limbs of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Grounding the teachers in a holistic approach to the practice has allowed us to continue and develop the universal appeal of yoga. Kim is committed to training teachers to be conduits of their own authentic relationship to the lifelong practice of yoga. This is why you will find so many unique teachers at Charm City Yoga.
