22 | The Burg | 06.15 I t's only natural that Sara Rose Bryant and Misha Kaschock started an all-organic farmers market at their Linglestown-based studio, Yoga Nature. After all, according to Bryant, both yoga and an organic diet are agreeable to the body. "Yogis through the ages have deeply understood the simple and ancient idea: You are what you eat," said Bryant. "[An organic farmer] studies the external landscape carefully like a yogi studies the internal states." Held during the summer on Sunday afternoons, the market offers an open-air, leisurely shopping experience, complete with prepared food and drinks, vegetables, herbs, cheese, bread, coffee, seafood, baked goods and more. "We are unique in that we have this yogic backbone which seeks to create a deeper connection between the community, the farmers and the Earth," said Bryant, explaining that the market is a full community experience, with featured artisans and musicians. To further enhance the connection between food and health, Yoga Nature offers activities like drumming, yoga, dance, educational classes for adults and kids, community drum circles, henna tattoos and face painting. e studio also plans on hosting work and learning days with the farmers so that people can witness a direct correlation between the land and growing food.
