“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…”

MiiMii (a.k.a. Pryzmi) is the owner of PhysioMorph Fitness Arts and the “man behind the curtain” (lol). She’s a multi-disciplinary artist, silly-goose, and physiological wizard who uses her skills to integrate arts, fitness, and circus into a fun, cohesive experience (and pretend to be a whole company of people when in reality she is one person doing all the things). She is a Greenville native who aims to build a healthy community in her hometown where others can revel in the healing art of play!

From a young age, MiiMii was always working on some kind of creative endeavor, trying her skills at all the arts she could get her hands on. Dancing in ballets, creating sculptures from wire and clay, playing cello in the orchestra, painting murals as a teen, and participating in theatrical productions on stage as well as behind the scenes, she is a jack-o’-lantern-of-all-trades in the art world. MiiMii uses these skills to create her play social experiences, integrating a variety of techniques and activities for these community events. Her creative works are featured on her multi-faceted Instagram, MiiMii Wears Hats.

In 2015, as a 19-year old in the midst of a 2-year chronic depression, she was invited to a local circus gathering held by The Secret Cirkus in a place lovingly referred to as The Garaj Mahal, which was a little backyard garage turned circus! When MiiMii was trying out different circus props, having conversation and hot cocoa by the fireplace, and cilmbing on the trapeze, she noticed a feeling she hadn’t felt in years… The feeling of the inner-child noticing this was a place to play and belong. The circus was the ladder that helped her climb out of the pit of her depression and with new ambition, she delved into the world of aerials, juggling, and theatrics! Since then, she has performed with the Secret Cirkus in a wide variety of events countless times, and has loved every moment of it to this day.

In the last 8 years, MiiMii has also cultivated experience in the field of fitness and well-being through different avenues: In 2017, she received her 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training Certification with Greenville Yoga when she discovered her love for training flexibility and strength. In 2019, she became a certified behavioral therapist with Project HOPE Foundation and trained in CPR/AED & First Aid for adults and children. From there, she decided to apply what she had learned in behavioral psychology to fitness and she became a certified personal trainer through National Academy of Sports Medicine in 2020, and in 2022, when an opportunity to train with Jill Franklin arose, she received her Aerial Teacher Training Certification through Aerial Physique. She is always researching and experimenting with new ways she can use her passion for fitness, psychology, and the arts in ways which help others heal through therapeutic exploration.

With the sponge of knowledge she had, MiiMii felt it was time to bring a cohesive project to Greenville with the goal of helping children and adults alike get in touch with their playful nature through circus arts, play socials, and creative endeavors that challenge the community to find new perspectives in what it means to connect with each other. In some ways, it is uncharted territory, in other ways, it is simply reconnecting to a part of ourselves we have left behind.
