About Elisa: Elisa Guzman of BeMotivity is a passionate dance instructor, wife, mom, and fur mama who understands firsthand the challenges of balancing self-care with life’s responsibilities. Working full-time while caring for her family, she knows how difficult it can be to create space for wellness while tackling daily commitments.
For years, Elisa put her own health and self-care last, pouring herself into her roles as a wife and mother. It wasn’t until she returned to dance that she truly began to feel like herself again—not her old self, but a new version, evolving into the person she wanted to become. BeMotivity wasn’t part of her plan; it was divine intervention. With the unwavering support of her family, she has spent the last eight years building a vibrant community that continues to fuel her passion.
Today, Elisa feels stronger and more inspired than ever—in her 40s and in the best shape of her life. For her, teaching dance isn’t work; it’s a calling. Every class is a chance to share joy, promote self-care, and connect with her growing tribe, which has become a family.
Elisa closes every class with a “Quote of the Day” to leave students feeling energized and empowered, united by the mantra:
“Together, let’s continue to motivate, empower, and inspire each other to be our best selves—always inhaling confidence and exhaling doubt.”
