Lisa Beaumont's Story

Lisa Beaumont, White and Green Belt Certified instructor says about Nia: “I got here by chance, but I stayed to dance.”

Following a debilitating traffic accident, several orthopedic operations, and a long period of recovery, Lisa found Nia after a nearly 30 year absence from much in the way of physical activity. Through the gentle guidance and open invitation to once again feel the Joy of Movement from her first Nia teacher and mentor, Sally Burgess, Lisa felt the healing of those injuries so many years before of mind, body, spirit and emotion finally begin. She believes she is living proof that Nia is for everyBody, regardless of age or fitness level. Warmly welcomed by the Gateway Nia CommUnity, Lisa now feels a passion to share the Joy that Nia has given her and is gratified to among this generous and supportive group as a Nia instructor.
