Daily Inspiration: Meet LeoRising Scott

Today we’d like to introduce you to LeoRising Scott.

Hi LeoRising , it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My name is LeoRising Scott, pronouns Raja/They/Them/Sri/Your Majesty- brief and short-winded is not a part of my story, but I’ll do my best. I was born with a few extra senses and sensibilities about how to BE and how the world best harmonizes. I come from a family of casual spiritualists who believe in serving the community without making a fuss. My mother was a civil servant for 34 years before retiring. In my home city, Yonkers, NY, there are hundreds of families positively recalibrated by her selflessness, nurturing of youth, and redirection of community service away from jail time. I learned that to witness someone’s story at the right access point, the cosmic powers of change can enter. If we, as a society, set up systems of nurturing and care early enough, a person, especially a child, can remain on their path of destiny with the least obstructions to completion. As for me, I was left to my own multi-medium pathways of artist, spirit communication, and somatic care. I always identified as a performing artist, Triple Threat, Creator, Actor, Singer … bonus MOVER, and found that educating. Through Yoga for 14 years, I funneled my gifts, and it carried me well internationally, Kenya, Bali, Japan, Italy … I appreciated being able to learn, be of service, grow, and come back with stories that enhanced my perspective on societal harmonization. My creative flow migrates between Cali, N.Y, UK and now Philly.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Undeservedly, I have been through a lot of grief in relationships. After a soul retrieval workshop in my teens, I emerged addressing myself as a “grief baby” because elders passed away before finishing lessons, whole groups and towns drifted due to uncompromising politics, lovers and friends who happened to abandon me at the moment care in my direction was needed. Undeserdedly yet fated. Life will life. It’s all character development, even though it can suck. In 2019, I was able to move to Los Angeles after ending a long-term relationship and caring for my mother through stage four lung cancer. She’s a survivor now, I recently in 2025 had to be available to be bi-coastal to care for her again.
Such is life in this way. Not terrible, not empty. Just a part of the struggle. There are days when caregiving is really hard, days when the hardship is a phantom limb, and guess what: there are days when the belief that the best is yet to come is just as vital and real. Nothing is denied. I do my best to model this without being obtuse to any other individual’s process and what they can accept about the state of their life. There are days I struggle with my thoughts and finding a cool spot on my pillow; there are also days I struggle with the right amount of Coffeemate creamer in my coffee. I still drink it, I still get to work. I still find gratitude for many other moments. Often as simple as the depth of my favorite mug. Smooth roads occur in many other areas of my life. The power in breath continues to breathe me into the present, and the water is ever-changing coast to coast; it is what it is. The range in which I can witness the lowest valley of human feelings, whilet is meant to be understood to be immediate, not seeking wha is how I balance the tides of “my life.”

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Just as there are 8 limbs of YOGA (as taught in the average western teacher training), I have reconciled that my Soul has many limbs of duty, expression, gifts, and lessons to extend itself. I am not limited; I get to live them all out. As an Actor & Storytelling Collaborator, my work often bridges performance, movement, atmosphere, and structural environment and human connection, with a strong focus on ensemble energy, presence, and transformative experience.

As an Intimacy Professional, I created INTIMACY ACTIVATIONS as a workshop experience centered on embodied communication, nervous system awareness, vulnerability, and communal healing. These spaces are designed to help people reconnect to themselves and each other through movement, conversation, ritual, and emotional literacy. For the average person, these types of spaces don’t exist, where dancers and actors know they are vital to ensemblic synergy. I believe that if more audiences could meet artists with that in their system, more culturally specific stories would ultimately be accepted.

And as a forever Yoga Educator with a present practice of over 14 years and a Personal Compass Advisor, I’ve worked internationally as a yoga and meditation educator, guiding everyone from public communities to high-profile creatives, community leaders, and celebrities. I help people recalibrate their inner direction, build emotional clarity, care for and realize their dreams, and deepen relational awareness. I also contribute as a steward of communal and transformative spaces.

The root of my Artistry is connection, even while remaining an individual. Because that is what a seed does. It joins the network as its self. That’s my mission here.

Presently, I’m accepting Dream Reclamation clients. Feel like you lost a dream, wish to get it back? send me a note.

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
I believe in the systems of divination for all collaborations and projects. I believe beyond our personalities, our higher selves arrange meetings. So, in my faith we come together to honor the cleanest communication and ensure we have no residual debts by diving together, openly, about how to best move forward. Another surprising thing most people might not know about me is how operational and detail-oriented I actually am behind the scenes, especially in experiential events or staging. It was best considered with my intimate choreographic work with HiMeros TV during the pandemic. I absolutely adore creating environments of secure and respectful introductions, scripted paths that also leave tons of room for improv, leading to personalized experiences. Because my work is often associated with spirituality, artistry, healing, and performance, people sometimes assume I only exist in the visionary role. In reality, I pay close attention to timing, logistics, emotional pacing, team dynamics, environmental flow, and the invisible structures that make communal experiences feel safe and transformative. Oh, and often my students and clients are taken aback that I decompress with 80’s B Horror movies and have an extenses very gay pop culture filter for life.
