Well, I guess I’m a little bit famous 🤷‍♀️

So excited and humbled to be featured in this month’s issue of CITY Magazine! If you know me well, you know that I don’t care about publicity, but the recognition feels really special, and some have told me is well deserved after 23 years in my field.

I love dance. I love yoga. I love being a somatic movement educator. I love supporting prenatal and postpartum clients. I love holistic wellness. I am lucky to have an organic farming husband who grows all the food we eat. I genuinely love and live all of these things, and it is a total honor to be featured in this wellness issue.

BIG thank you to Sydney Burrows for such a beautiful feature on me and my offerings in this community.

Thank you Allison, Molly, and Evan for saying such kind words. And to everyone who continues to spread the word about my classes, thank you.

Throwback Thursday to honor my dear teacher and mentor, Bill Evans, as he goes into hip surgery tomorrow. 💕

Rehearsing Dreamweaver in Fort Worth, Texas in 2010. I loved this solo and keep waiting for the time to be right and the stars to align for me to perform it again.✨

No prop November!
Well, ok. Maybe a few props. October got pretty prop-heavy in my yoga classes, so in the spirit of finding balance as we move into holiday time, November will be a month dedicated to a simple asana practice, and one that helps to cultivate gratitude and appreciation for what we’ve got.

Hope to see many of you local yogis and dancers on the mat at Yoga 170!

So proud of my husband’s Evan Meulemans incredible and hard work this season, continuing to grow and expand Glenn Scott Farm and sharing the literal fruits of his labor with so many people. Last night’s Harvest Dinner at Point of the Bluff Vineyards was magical!

Don’t be scared! They’re just walls and chairs!

That’s right, yogis! October is all about using the wall and a chair in my yoga classes! These big props can seem intimidating at first, especially if you aren’t accustomed to practicing with them. By the time Halloween arrives, I’m certain you won’t be afraid anymore! 😄🎃👻

Hope to see many of you local yogis on the mat (and up the wall and in a chair!) this month at Yoga 170 in Fairport!

In my opinion, Johnny’s White Russian kale is THE BEST! It’s so good, y’all, and continues to amaze me year after year! If you’re wondering, yes, this is what every week looks like once it really gets going! 💚

September, to me, has always felt like the turn toward the biggest season of change, in the natural world and in daily routines and schedules. This year is certainly no exception.

Hope to see many of you local movers on the mat!

Come see some amazing artists in this fabulous outdoor show! Wander and Wonder! THIS weekend!

I was supposed to perform Anne Harris Wilcox’s great new work about the coral reef in Program B, but just tested positive for covid this morning… such a total bummer. It hit hard and fast and out of the blue. 👎

Get out and support both programs, if you can! Gonna be a beautiful weekend!
