Husband and wife team up to bring yoga and wellness center to Jamesville
Center will hold grand opening celebration May 25 and 26
For the majority of the last 25 years, Tony Riposo has been a one-man travelling yoga instructor, teaching classes in church basements and recreation centers across Central New York. And his wife, Mary Riposo, has been practicing and teaching reiki out of her home and renting space in churches for the last nine. Over the duration of their careers, the Riposos have become somewhat of an underground wellness power couple, and with class sizes and clients increasing each year, it became apparent that they would need a permanent space of their own. So, in April, they opened the Infinite Light Center for Yoga and Wellness in Jamesville to finally give their students and clients a concrete destination for their wellness experiences.

Construction for phase two could begin as early as late summer
When driving into the village of Manlius via Route 92, it’s impossible not to notice the wasteland at the intersection of Highbridge and F-M roads which greets visitors to the village with dirt, rubble and weeds. As most residents know, the site is planned to be the future home of Madison Row, a $5 million retail, office and residential project which was first proposed in 2009. Many have given up hope that anything will come of the development after three years of passing by the site and seeing no progress made.
