Alias: "The Vanguard"
Ballet, athletics, stunts, and adventure sports — there’s no movement she hasn’t mastered, and she can teach anyone to do the same.
Founder. Leader. Force of Nature.
Tagline: "Move with intention. Rise with confidence."
Origin Story:
Born with an unshakable spirit and a heart that beats to the rhythm of movement, Meaux "The Vanguard" has never known a life without motion. From the moment she laced up her first ballet slippers at age 4, she was destined for greatness. Grace met grit as she evolved from a disciplined dancer to an elite athlete, mastering every form of physicality the world had to offer. Mountains were scaled, underwater sculptures were explored, and trails became her playground. But she wasn’t content with just conquering her own limits — she wanted to lead others to do the same.
With the fire of a founder and the vision of a vanguard, she built BODĒ Movement, a sanctuary where movement isn’t just exercise — it’s evolution. Drawing from her vast arsenal of skills, from running/basketball/volleyball to stunt double training to canicross trail running, she created a space where strength, creativity, and exploration coexist. Every class she leads is a masterclass in power, purpose, and possibility. No movement is wasted. No goal is unreachable. Under her guidance, every person who steps into BODĒ Movement becomes the hero of their own story. Under her leadership, people don't just follow—they rise.

- The Embodiment of Adaptability: From mountaintops to mat work, she shifts seamlessly between worlds, teaching others to do the same. Her classes are never ordinary — they’re legendary.
Style:
To lead others toward their most powerful, authentic selves. As The Vanguard, Meaux redefines limits and invites others to do the same. Her mission is to help people embrace the unknown, move with intention, and discover strength they never knew they had. Every class is a chance to step into greatness, guided by someone who’s done it all and continues to push forward. Every class is a path to growth. Movement becomes a practice of mindfulness, exploration, and personal triumph. Her guidance isn’t about force — it’s about flow. Clients leave feeling balanced, grounded, and capable of achieving more — not just in class, but in every part of their lives.
