What the Fitness Pros Say about Holistic Fitness Specialty Certificate

“As a physician who practices Holistic Medicine, I greatly value the insights and understanding of mind-body issues covered in this course. It provides valuable information, beautiful illustrations and practical techniques to implement the practice of Holistic Fitness. It moves us from the conventional western medicine model, which separates mind and body, toward the more accurate reality of mind-body as one.

The instructor, LindaChristy Weiler, is very skilled in presenting clearly and professionally the different breathing techniques and yoga poses in a way that is easy to understand and follow. She excels at giving descriptions and explanations in very precise terms, being careful to point out not only the proper form but also explains and demonstrates the common errors and pitfalls. I find this approach facilitates, for me, better performance of these exercises, and provides the language and technique to instruct others. Her extensive experience, skill, and knowledge in this field are evident throughout this course.

This course is a catalyst to a growing new breed of fitness professional, one who recognizes the synergy between physical exercises combined with enhanced self-awareness. This powerful approach, which can address root health issues, leads to a journey toward true Holistic Mind-Body wellness. As a Holistic physician who sees people in need on a daily basis, I can say with certainty, we need more fitness professionals with the knowledge and skills offered in this course.”

“This is a very extensive course packed with user-friendly learning tools. The author put her heart and soul into this course, and it shows! She shares what she knows (and has taken years to learn) with others. If we’re smart enough to pay attention, we will appreciate how this course teaches self-love and self care from a fitness-based perspective.” 
ACE course reviewer #1


“This material is well organized with excellent content that would allow those who are not previously grounded in mind-body fitness to grasp and apply the concepts for a variety of fitness and wellness activities. The material is very illuminating and broadened my perspectives. This course sheds light on the importance and application of holistic fitness, which is the fitness trend for the future. ”

“I have been fully energized from this material. Each day I am blessed to be able to know that there are so many positive changes that I can make in peoples’ lives. Thank you!”

“I had no idea there would be this much material in this course. The depth of the material was beyond anything I expected. I have gained deeper insight into holistic fitness, and at a higher level than I expected. Keep up the good work!”
A. Noyes


“I can apply what I have learned regarding breathing, yoga positions, stretching and cueing to both work and my everyday life. I absolutely loved this course. I learned so much and am thankful for having taken it. Keep this course in your curriculum. It's ahead of its time, and people will catch up to the idea. It's very cutting edge.”
T. Palisi


“I thought the course was excellent. I wish that I knew more group fitness teachers, personal trainers, and yoga teachers that took this course and 'embodied it.' I am so happy I selected this course. I will continue to work with the materials! They are loaded with information for myself and for the well being of others.”
M. Bangor


“I hold a Master's degree in Holistic Health science. This course was PRACTICAL and will aid in my fitness practice.”
B. Mascialino


“I am a Health Psychologist working toward developing a wellness business. This training covered all of my target populations and more. I now have a stronger sense of how to use yoga in wellness and a better understanding of the abnormal health adversities. I feel more confident about developing a treatment plan with yoga practices. ”
K. Christensen


“What a gift! I am excited and energized! I wanted you to know I appreciate every page in the manual and in your book. {Like everyone else}, I am a recovering soul/body on many fronts. Much of the information confirms what experience has taught me. Most importantly, the information is a kind of 'connect-the-dots' experience for me. Illuminating many of my personal somatic experiences, and allowing for a more authentic Self to emerge. I believe that evolved embodiment very much needs to be modeled behavior. I think disconnected people tend to raise their children to be disconnected people. I am working on my Life Coach certification; I am confident that this course will enhance my ability to facilitate future clients' needs. Your shared knowledge (skills and insights) is delightfully fulfilling. ”

It thoroughly demonstrates how yoga can be used as an effective tool for mind-body restoration. It facilitates self-exploration by the fitness professional that can support healing. And by healing our own issues, we are more effective in supporting others."

I am a certified personal trainer, advanced health and fitness specialist as well as a holistic health practitioner, and Reiki Master. I would like to incorporate yoga and holistic practices with my clients. In this course I learned how to work with different challenges, as well as yoga poses. Actually, the book (Adventures in Embodiment) was exactly what I needed in my own personal life! Great course!

I hope to help clients experience strength and well-being by guiding them to listen to their body on all levels and to help them understand that it's not a competition, it is an experience within the individual, and that everyone's experience will be different (which is truly wonderful!) I learned the importance of the connection between body and spirit in terms of well being. It isn't only about physically working-out. Learning to listen to your inner-Self, believe and have faith, learning to live in the present moment and decipher between fantasy and reality are all important concepts.
