Our Mission

At Yoga-Works we teach yoga. We will consider any suitable venue. We enjoy practice in natural outdoor settings, in studio or in private homes. The idea is to bring yoga to the student, and we work to create accessible and enjoyable experiences. It’s your practice and we always want you to look forward to coming back to your mat.. again and again. It’s a practice.

In addition to yoga classes, we offer yoga retreats and can assist with planning your own concept for a yoga-based retreat.

Meet Mary Campbell

Yoga Instructor · Reiki Practitioner · Seeker

Mary is, first and foremost, a devotee and lover of yoga. For 35 years, her mat has been a place of grounding, discovery, and return — long before it became her profession. What began as a personal practice grew, over decades, into a calling.

A recent, intentional life transition led Mary to formalize what she'd already been living: in 2022, she completed her teacher certification at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Stockbridge, MA — one of the most respected yoga institutions in the country. Since then, she's taught at several studios throughout the Philadelphia area and offers private instruction for students who want a more personal, tailored practice.

Mary is also a Reiki practitioner in private practice, and she volunteers her time with the Reiki Team at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, offering energy work to patients in the Cancer Infusion Center and throughout the hospital. It's an extension of the same belief that shapes everything she teaches: that healing happens when we make space for presence.

Her Approach to Yoga

Yoga has played a central role in Mary's own health and wellbeing for her entire adult life. She describes herself as a seeker and a perpetual student — someone still learning, still curious, still showing up on her mat the way she asks her students to show up on theirs.

Mary believes a yoga practice looks different for every student, and she teaches accordingly. Her classes are rooted in grounding, centering, breathing, moving, and reflecting. She teaches that presence is, indeed, a practice — something we return to again and again, not something we simply arrive at.

For Mary, aligning the physical and mental states through presence, breath, and movement is what resets us. It's what creates balance. It's what makes room for bliss.

She's candid about what the work actually requires: to keep showing up, with honest intention and an open heart, accepting exactly where you are today — not where you think you should be. Her invitation to every student is simple: just arrive on your mat, be still, and breathe. That is enough.
