My name is Holly Martzial and I am a wellness instructor in Portland, Maine. Wellness, to me, represents a lifestyle in which both body and mind are strong, open and aware. I recognize that adhering to a lifestyle of wellness is not always easy! I say this from a place of deep practice – it's all about balance. This may not make me the idyllic vision of an instagram yogi, but it certainly makes me a real person, and that is where I teach from.
I have been a student of yoga and movement since 2006. I am so grateful to all of my teachers for sharing their knowledge with me. I completed 200 hours of Yoga Teacher Training with Jacqui Bonwell and am a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance. Additionally, I have studied Restorative Yoga with Margo Rosingana, Pre-Natal Yoga with Mae Corwin, Yin Yoga with Lily Dougher, Yoga for the Pelvic Floor with Leslie Howard; and learned the Art of Assisting from Sue Jones & Ray Mucci. I studied the techniques of Barre under BarSculpt creator, Leslie Guerin, and continue to fine tune these efforts under the guidance of Elizabeth April. Finally, I am trained in Stand-up Paddleboard Yoga under the guidance of Michelle Clarke, owner of Full Moon Paddle, but choose to stick with paddle-boarding for pleasure only.
My classes are heavily rooted in functional movement and relevant themes. I strive to provide my students with tools in class that are applicable to life off the mat. Whether that is sitting well at your computer, or picking a different feeling instead of loosing your cool - to me, a class well taught is one that stems far beyond the classroom.
In addition to my passion for wellness, I own my own marketing company, Mindwell Marketing, and help local small businesses with original and well-planned marketing strategies, event planning, and content creation. I primarily work with wellness entrepreneurs and am passionate about supporting my local wellness community.
