LISE DUNCAN
Lise Duncan has accumulated a diverse range of teaching,
coaching, training, and consulting experience during the
past 17 years in the health and fitness industry. A former
competitive athlete and gymnast, she maintains a
disciplined standard of personal fitness that has been
directed into her yoga practice and studies for the past
decade. In 1999, Lise founded Equipoise Body Works, a
health and wellness business that provides private/group
fitness and ilates instruction, yoga therapy and classes,
and restorative bodywork and massage therapies.
Through over 5000 hours of teaching and coaching
experience, Lise has developed an approach to training that
focuses on developing customized programs that complement
and benefit individual lifestyles, setting realistic goals
for sustainable, long-term success. She believes strongly
in the personal responsibility and accountability we must
have for our health, and is committed to providing yoga and
mixed fitness programs, in both private and corporate
settings, that promote an improved and empowered state of
holistic health. Her teaching style emphasizes safety and
technique while providing an environment that is lighthearted,
nurturing, and non-competitive. Additionally,
Equipoise Body Works offers a variety of bodywork
treatments that focus on effective, non-invasive modalities
that support the body's healing process, while also
providing self-care techniques for general pain and stress
management.
Beginning in 2009, Equipoise Body Works, together with
Tamzen Glover of MayneStay Consulting Group, created a
format for unique, comprehensive restorative/rehabilitative
programs that integrate mind-body exercises, meditation,
non-invasive bodywork therapies, and professional personal
and spiritual coaching, in order to holistically balance
and improve all aspects of health. These programs are
highly personalized and flexible, the sessions designed
around varying and changing needs as deemed necessary by
the patient and therapist. Such an approach is enormously
valuable for those coping with and/or recovering from
injuries, illness, and conventional cancer therapies.
Tamzen Glover is a certified coach and counselor with years
of experience as a teacher, ordained minister, management
consultant, and personal coach and specializes in
adjunctive cancer care.
Lise is a Nationally Certified Coach, a Certified Yoga
Instructor, and Certified Bodywork Practitioner, with
specialized training and interests in Eastern bodywork
modalities, Yoga Therapy, Reflexology, and Aromatherapy.
She is currently offering bodywork therapy, training, and
classes to communities, private/corporate companies, and
sports teams/organizations throughout the Cowichan Valley
on Vancouver Island, and Vancouver, BC. Customized
corporate programming, coaching, and consulting services
are available on a short-term or long-term basis. Please
