Meet your instructor, Marie Haller: Marie found her way to yoga through dance classes in college and has maintained a regular practice, across many different modalities of yoga, for the past 20+ years. While running her own birth doula business, she trained as a prenatal and postpartum yoga instructor, weaving that expertise into her work with pregnant and postpartum clients ever since. Her classes focus on building the real physical strength you need for birth and new parenthood, while also making space for the breath and mindfulness practices that can help you navigate the wonderfully unpredictable ride that is pregnancy, birth, and parenting. When she's not on the mat, Marie works as a Perinatal Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Coach through Prospera and in women's health at the nonprofit CARE.org, bringing a deep, holistic understanding of the perinatal experience to everything she does.
