Mind and body fitness? Many people who want to get into shape don’t realize there is more to fitness than well-toned muscles. There’s no shortage of exercise regimes that just promote the perfection of the body, or the idea of fitness as a part of a weight loss plan. Centuries ago, Western culture lost its focus on the inter connectedness between the body and the mind or spirit, and how each has the power to affect the other. Cultivating a love of movement can help you get beyond the concept of physical fitness as separate from mental fitness – and toward a lifelong program of good health through mind and body fitness. When drawing these female poses I thought of how women see themselves and their bodies today and how Frederick’s could take a role in their lives as a health coach. So, that mind and body should be united in order to have well balanced health. So, that our goal of empowering women will be able to come true not only by knowledge, but by love of self as well.
