Megwyn & Rishi
Megwyn White came to the Studio for the first time last August, and I found her workshop at the time grueling and healing. The second classes this January were nothing but intense and extraordinary joy. I also got a chance during this visit to get to know her more. She is truly a luminous person, and I feel blessed to have her here. During the January 12 workshop, she brought someone who gave a special demo at the end of class, Rishi, whose hip opener puts mine to shame…
She is the creator of occupybody.com taking the principles of the occupy movement and applying it to how we approach our physical selves.
She is a collaborative team player at the flagship Yamuna® Studio in New York city. As a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts with a focus on movement, dance, and theatre. It was there that she first met Yamuna Zake. Her background allows her to translate the work into the body with a clarity and depth maintaining both flow and focus in all of her classes. Her focus has been developing and fusing Yamuna Body Rolling as way of deepening the Pilates method. She is trained in almost all YBR modalities and is currently working with Yamuna in the development of YBR-based Pilates.
