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 enquire.
