Mind/Body Training
In this time of stress and uncertainty, many people are dissatisfied with the state of their lives and their world. From our failing health care system, to our overburdened families and communities, people are craving something different, something deeper, something more meaningful.
At McCoy Fitness & Health, we recognize this shifting perspective, and its relevance and importance to our overall health. While we talk about toning the physical body, there remains other 'bodies' outside our traditional view that require our attention - the spiritual, mental and astral bodies. Although not recognized by most traditional health practitioners, these energies are an integral and vital part of our health and wellness.
As a health leader, Karen remains passionate about bringing these powerful, yet lesser known aspects of health and wellness into the fitness fray. And while her unique training style can raise a few eyebrows in the gym, she remains undeterred.
"As personal trainers, and as healers, we must educate ourselves about all aspects of health," says Karen. "We must start viewing the body as more than muscle and bone, and see it in its entirety - physically, emotionally and spiritually. And as trainers, we must start teaching this to our clients. Anything short of this is irresponsible on our part as teachers and leaders."
How is such a unique approach taught? Through various workshops and seminars, taught by Karen and other invited practitioners and teachers at her west coast studio, Mystic Pines, located on Vancouver Island. Karen is also available to travel to your workplace or community group meeting as needed.
"My approach to wellness is multi-faceted," explains Karen. "Tone the body, yes, but tone the mind and spirit as well. It's what I call true health, divine health."
