Hi! I’m Eric. A Professional Boxer, Master Trainer and founder of Mind Body Boxing. I have been in the “fighting” industry for over 20 years. Over the last few decades I have learned a thing or two about physical fitness, and competing at a world class level.  In order for me to thrive in this industry, it has required me to be aware and in tune with different dimensions of wellness. We’re talking physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and social areas of personal health, and well-being. What better sport than boxing to serve as a catalyst for personal growth and development, am I right? 

Boxing requires sincere dedication, consistency, and most of all,  self-awareness. My commitment to excelling in this sport enabled me to move beyond perceived mental and physical limitations. Even though I wasn’t fully aware of it at the time, I was strengthening my mind-body connection. 

Dedicated to enhancing my mind-body connection, I took up yoga, and meditation. I noticed that the more I practiced, the more in command I felt in the ring. I was experiencing numerous benefits such as heightened focus, shifts in perspective, increased awareness, and less anxiety. The physical benefits of yoga too were astounding as I noticed how my new levels of flexibility, and balance positively impacted my performance. 

My experience taught me just how intimately intertwined our mind and body are. Yoga means to “unite” and the practice of yoga aims to create harmony between mind, body and spirit. 

There are many benefits of boxing and yoga when practiced individually. Most people only focus on the physical benefits: strength, endurance, flexibility and weight loss. However, Mind Body Boxing offers so much more. 

Mind Body Boxing is a vehicle for self-expression, emotional release, and self-awareness. Our tailored combination of these traditional modalities make for a powerful, and  unique method that facilitates transformational change. 

Mind Body Boxing represents the culmination of the classic art forms that I have used on my journey to reach my highest potential. It is my belief that the best of me can and will awaken the best in you. 

With Love, 

Eric Govan
