Marie Brown

Marie Brown was born in Jacksonville, Florida, where she began her dance training at

the ripe age of three. Her love for movement progressed into a passion for fitness. She

moved to Philadelphia in 2005 after graduating from Radford University with a BFA in

Dance. It was then she began to see the connection between Pilates and Ballet.

Abdominal strength, control, lengthening the spine, and carriage of the torso are just a

few of the connections dance training and Pilates have in common. She decided to

become Power Pilates certified in 2011 to begin her journey as an instructor in the

method. She began teaching at several gyms around the city including CityFitness and

The Sporting Club. She continued her Pilates training with Drexel Pilates in 2019 in

order to share more knowledge about the body. Her class hopes to inspire people of all

ages to enjoy movement.
