Summer fry
Movement Artist & Embodiment Coach
|
I believe in the healing power of mindful movement and the development of self-expression as a means towards personal empowerment. I am passionate about fostering an atmosphere which breads a deeper connection with ourselves, our surroundings and our community. I hope to create a welcoming space in which people of all ages, movement capabilities and backgrounds feel free to experience the joy of moving their bodies with ease.
With over twenty years of training in the movement arts and almost twenty years as an instructor, I have a clear vision, a wealth of knowledge and rich experience helping people connect mind and body through guided movement practices. I have worked with children, adults and seniors in a wide variety of movement modalities ranging from dance to fitness to healing practices, including: Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap, Musical Theater, Contemporary, Modern Dance, Yoga, Qi Gong, Zumba, and Tumbling. Having studied mindfulness for over ten years and trained in the art of facilitating mindfulness practices, I invite you to seek out one on one mindfulness coaching with me. The process is truly transformative and enriching! summerdawnfry@gmail.com |

Kira van dyke
Dance Instructor
I graduated from the University of Utah and Brigham Young University with degrees in dance and biological anthropology, a minor in math, and considerable research experience in linguistics and music. I have spent the past five years training pre-professionally in ballet, first at the University of Utah and Ballet West Academy, and later at BYU, where I danced with Theatre Ballet, Ballet Showcase, and a world dance company. Also in college, I trained in Pilates; taught dance to teens; and studied contemporary, modern, tap, character, and Gaga genres. I am passionate that quality dance instruction should be accessible to people of all backgrounds, and that it should offer a healthy, challenging, and fun experience.

megan lemke
Energy Healer
Having experienced trauma and adversity in life, I have followed a path of study in psychology, human development, and childhood stress & trauma. In the beginning I was determined to somehow prevent trauma for others. During my studies, however, I came to the mindful awareness that adverse experiences & trauma can bring us into a deeper understanding of our inner and outer worlds. Seeking to make that shift within myself, Energy Healing & I found each other. I practiced Energy Healing under the guidance of Reiki Masters and experienced profound shifts in my life. Now I deeply desire to share this healing modality with others.
Energy Healing allows our spiritual, mental, emotional and physical bodies to relax, reset, re-center and recharge from the stressors of life. When we become mindful of our e-motions (energy in motion) we can consciously respond instead of unconsciously react to circumstances in our lives. This calm, clarity & mindfulness empowers us with consciously desired co-creation instead of repeating unconscious patterns. Energy Healing creates a calm, safe & secure place within ourselves, allowing us clarity & a higher perspective to co-create desired outcomes within ourselves, our lives and our ability to heal. My goal and mission is to create and hold a safe space that allows you an opportunity to remove dis-ease blockages within so you can be at home within yourself; a place of flowing ease.

"Summer's Mindful Movement classes are delicious for the body - a practice of being present and awakening to ones senses - a great addition to regular yoga classes" ... "Your MiMo class is a meditation date with my body. It is a fun way to open up little emotional dams in the body.
Thank you Summer for bringing this experience to the Burg."
~ Connie (MiMo)
"I absolutely love coming to your classes. I take my son to daycare, and it’s my hour to decompress and do something good for my body. Most of my days lately are spent wrangling a toddler so this time to myself is GOLDEN!! Thank you so much for your light and energy, it’s infectious and helps be to feel beautiful in my body."
~ Leslie (yoga class)
"Summer is fully present and aware of the needs of each student. She carefully explains each pose, the purpose, the technique and the intended benefit. When she is introducing something new, she slowly demonstrates what we are going to be doing. She assures that each participant has the tools needed. I am learning to focus on my breath and to listen to my body. I feel no pressure to go beyond what is comfortable for me.
Summer often tells us that as we are practicing she will be going around the room and individually helping us adjust if we need to. I am a rather shy person and yet I feel very comfortable because I know that Summer's intention is to help me. She is consistently kind, gently and encouraging of our progress. Plus, i am learning so much from Summer. I look forward to our classes.
