Narrative:
On a training flight with my instrument student, I had him descend to 2200 ft MSL so we could practice NDB navigation below cak airspace. While explaining the use of the NDB and how to track a course, the aircraft climbed to 2500 ft MSL. We were still northeast of the NDB (tracking the 250 degree magnetic bearing to the station). As soon as I noticed the altitude, I initiated an immediate descent down to 2200 ft. I believe that we may have inadvertently entered cak's airspace. Next time I will call up cak and request advisories to prevent this from happening again.
