Heart Opener Workshop:
Join Marie in an effortless heartfelt flow with partner assist. This is workshop is perfect for beginners and advance students. Newbies will learn yoga can be fun and stress free while experienced yogis will have chance to deepen techniques. Heart and shoulder postures are great for whatever is bothering you spiritually, emotionally or mentally, which tend to show up in the body. We will perform purifying poses to allow the heart, shoulder and spine to bring vitality back to your body.
In this workshop we will build trust with each other while moving safely into and out of poses by incorporating principals of alignment, breath and awareness. Bring you, a love one, friend or family.
Happy Hips Workshop w/Marie Ireola:
Do you sit in a chair all day long? Run, ride a bicycle or do any vigorous exercise? Tight hips compromise the fluidity of our entire body by putting undue pressure on our joints from our feet to the tops of our spines.
Release old tensions and holding patterns in the hips to bring more freedom to our movement and rediscover our emotions and creative energies. When we find release in the in the hips, we feel more lithe and fluid. The hip area is where we experience significant tightness, from stress of activities and the lack of movement.
Release your inner energy with a gentle yoga practice. We will explore and build on the foundation of pelvic exercises and mental relaxation in a series of flowing poses to leave you invigorated and balanced. In this workshop well work on safely and effectively opening the hips from all directions and explore how the opening (closing) of our hips leads to a more grounded, connected and agile stance and a deeper, more refined practice.
Yoga for Runners Workshop:
In this workshop we will work on pre-run warm-ups, post-run stretching sequences, breath work for more efficient oxygen intake and a deep rhythmic pattern, techniques to relieve pan and tension. Learn sequences and techniques that will improve your flexibility, balance, posture and endurance.
This workshop gives special focus on hamstring, hips, quadriceps, core-strength and breathing. You will learn how to use yoga as part of your cross-training. You will get at the end of the workshop a gift. The gift contains approaches to improve form, endurance, flexibility, strength and yoga poses.
Yoga and Wine Workshop:
Let us take you through an Energetic Vinyasa Flow practice that will lead into a deep meditation, and end with an organic wine tasting paired with snacks. As we flow through unlocking tension in the body we will awaken that inner bliss that lies within each of us.
We will aim for the following: letting go, letting off stress, tension, & heartache. The meditation will help us deal with the daily stress. Let us show you how 90 minutes of Vinyasa flow yoga pairs beautifully with wine and one unforgettable Savasana.

"I am a person with a disability and I thought yoga and/or Pilates may give me more flexibility. I knew I couldn't do all the moves, but enough to help me. I was also fortunate enough to get Marie as my instructor. Marie was patient with me and assisted me in adapting various yoga and Pilates moves. I would take back-to-back classes. This allowed me to get a good one-class workout. Due to my work schedule I have been able to go to classes in the past weeks. But things will calm down soon and it's back to my yoga and Pilates classes. I really miss my Saturday morning workouts. Working out at home is not the same." Pat Green
“I hit a brick wall with my workouts after some 15 years of exercising. I just couldn’t lift another weight or do another machine. I started training with Marie and she showed me that yoga, Pilates, and using my own body weight is just as effective for staying in shape. I feel great and never looked better! THANKS, Marie! Sincerely, James Wellons, Esq.”
"I finished the Broad Street Run... You planted the seed in August and somehow I was able to do it. Thanks for working with me throughout the fall. And most of all, thank you for not letting me walk away from training... You are very encouraging and very good at your job. The feeling that I had when I hit mile 9 and realized that I was going to do this and then again when I crossed the finish line is one that I wish I could bottle up and remember for the rest of my life. You have helped me begin to transform my life for the better. And I am most grateful for that..."
"I started out with Marie after never really working out in my life! Though, I wasn't crazy overweight, I was crazy weak. After only 10 weeks with her, my body changed, as well as my level of fitness & routine knowledge. I became toned for the first time ever. I still use some of the routines and circuits she taught me new each week. I love you Marie and thank you!!"
"Thank you Marie for giving me the tools to help me reach my goals on my own. I have specific stretch-related goals to help my lower back heal and stretch sessions with Marie are just what the doctor ordered.
Thank you! - Andrea
"Marie took the time to get to know me and helped me build long term and short term goals. I looked forward to each of my sessions with Marie. Each workout was completely customized for me. By doing this, Marie was not only able to show me my areas for improvement, but she pointed out my strengths too…that helped me build confidence. Marie showed constant encouragement and support. When I hit a bump in the road and wanted to quit, Marie wouldn’t let me give up. And 4 months later, I ran the Broad Street Run. A goal that had been on my list for years. Marie has been an integral part of me making great positive changes in my life." - Pepper
“Pilates and Yoga benefit me because; I have a chronic health problem (diabetes). It has improved my level of strength, energy, and self confidence and lessens my depression....it helped me maintain my weight and improve my blood pressure and blood sugar. It makes me feel better, I have less back pain, I am more relaxed, Marie is very effective, she encourages me and she has helped me manage my health. I try hard to leave a healthy lifestyle.”
“I am doing more weight training, resistance training and increased my cardiovascular endurance. I am now able to reduce stress, sleep easier and better; I’m not up late at night anymore or have difficulty sleeping. I am more active; I am no longer tired as much or feel run down. Marie has encourage me, given me motivation, support. And I have loss 40 lbs.”
"Marie is one of the best trainers I ever trained with. I joined a group training session in which she was instructor and later I decided to go for a 1-to1 training with her. Apart from her friendly and, flexible nature, I benefited the most due to her precise understanding of my fitness goals and having wide range of exercises to meet those goals. She kept me motivated, challenged and focused during the training period. Unfortunately I had to move to a different place but I miss her training here. I strongly recommend her for your personal and/or group training needs." -Udit
