RISE Yoga Gettysburg

06/01/2026

Meet a very special May Rise Yogi Spotlight, Marie Haller, who we are excited to be welcoming to the instructional team later this summer for a perinatal yoga class. Read our full interview below 🤩

🧘What brought you to yoga?

"I found my way to yoga through dance classes in college and have maintained a regular practice, exploring many different modalities of yoga, for the past 20+ years. While running my own birth doula business, I trained as a prenatal and postpartum yoga instructor, so now I also weave this expertise into my work with pregnant and postpartum clients!"

✨What is your favorite yoga pose, breath or mindfulness practice? Why?

"One of my long time favorite poses is triangle pose just because it feels good to me. My current jobs involve a lot of desk/sitting time and I think this helps stretch out all of the areas that feel stiff as well as strengthen muscles at the same time."

🙏How do you notice yoga supporting you "off the mat"?

"Off the mat, I work as a Perinatal Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Coach for Prospera, and in women's health at the nonprofit CARE.org. It feels critical when working in a health/healing profession to take care of your own health and well being, so yoga is one pathway I use to support myself so I can better help others."

🫶What is your favorite thing about practicing at Rise?

"I love the community feeling at Rise, and I'm excited to bring that to the prenatal/postpartum class I'll be teaching coming up in August/September. Community support and connection make the perinatal period so much easier, and we hope to offer that, along with the obvious physical and mental health benefits of yoga, through the upcoming class."

🌱What would you tell someone who is considering trying yoga for the first time?

"Yoga practice looks different for everyone and you can't really do it wrong. Just keep breathing and noticing what feels good in your body and avoiding movement that doesn't feel right to you."

🥰Thank you for being part of our community at Rise, Marie!

Starting June 17, join our newest instructor, Dorothy, weekly for this well-balanced, invigorating practice, with a moderate touch of heat. 🙂
Warm Yoga is designed to create the experience and benefit of a hot yoga class without feeling overwhelmed or stifling. The studio space is heated to 80-85 degrees —enough to produce a light glow, support mobility, enhance circulation and regulate the nervous system, while maintaining a comfortable and safe environment for mindful breath work and powerful movement.
