Lisa Meer Lewis, CMT, 500 RYT, Level 1 Crossfit Trainer

Lisa is the co-owner and co-creator of The Space Above Yoga Center
Graduating from Old Dominion University in 1995 with a BS in Psychology and a BS in Human Services Counseling, Lisa began exercising her curiosity for the body-mind connection while working in the mental health field. A year later, inspired by a close friend, she began study at The Fuller School of Massage Therapy. Lisa became a National Certified Massage Therapist in 1997 and began work in private practice in Ghent.

Lisa began practicing yoga in 1997 under the guidance of Anna Pittman and Gabrielle Gerard at Inside Out Yoga Center until 2006. Completing her 200 hour yoga certification with Anna Pittman in 2002, her 500 hour certification in 2007, she is now a 500 hour Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance. Lisa has also completed the first level of training for The Great Yoga Wall and continues to share the fun, enlivening and therapeutic benefits of play on the wall in The Space Above.

In addition to being a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist, Lisa is also a Certified Neuromuscular Massage Therapist and a Level 1 CrossFit Trainer (www.crossfit.com). Her approach to working with her clients is a wholistic.  She adheres to the philosophy that what happens on the massage table can only make a small difference.  Health-ful living requires a client's commitment to understanding their own bodies inside and out.  Her work has been especially influenced by her passion for fitness and her belief in the importance of functional movement along with her studies in John Barnes’s Myofascial Release Technique, The Structural Integration Method and an extraordinary six day human dissection experience with the Somanautics team of Todd Garcia and Gil Hedley.
