PiYo = Pilates + Yoga

It combines the core-strengthening and alignment of Pilates with the flexibility, balance, and breath-focus of Yoga — without high impact or heavy weights. Movements are fluid, continuous, and synchronized with breath, creating a workout that is gentle on the joints yet toning, strengthening, and energizing.

Marguerite Braude is a dedicated Yoga and PiYo instructor known for her uplifting energy, graceful teaching style, and deep passion for helping students feel strong, centered, and empowered in their bodies. With a background in both PiYo (Pilates + Yoga Fusion) and Chair Yoga, Marguerite creates classes that are accessible to all ages and ability levels—from beginners to advanced practitioners.

She teaches regularly at gyms, wellness centers, and spiritual ashrams, where her classes blend mindful movement, functional strength, breath awareness, and flexibility training. Marguerite’s approach honors the body’s natural range of motion and encourages each student to move at their own pace, celebrating progress over perfection.

Her PiYo classes focus on fluid, low-impact sequences that strengthen the core, tone the entire body, and increase mobility—while remaining gentle on the joints. 

Marguerite is known for her compassionate teaching style, calming presence, and ability to make every student feel welcome. Whether guiding a fast-paced PiYo flow or a relaxing Chair Yoga practice, she leads from the heart and inspires her students to listen to their bodies, release stress, and leave each class feeling better than when they arrived.
