Hicking the Juan de Fuca trail

2008-05-26T12:11:00.000-07:00

The key for staying fit and healthy is to incorporate physical activities into your life style. For that reason I went on a 3 days hike along The Juan de Fuca marine Trail. Located on Vancouver Island , the trail starts near Jordan River (about 1 hour drive from Victoria) and ends up close to the town of Port Renfrew. All together this is a 47 km hike into the wilderness and across several beautiful beaches. It is truly an experience of a lifetime ! Highly recommended for outdoor fans. On these intermediate trails you will strengthen your body endurance and reconnect with your soul.

If you are planning on doing the full hike, you will need water, tent, complete camping gear, bear spray,light snacks (trail mix or bars). And remember to pack light since whatever you have on your backpack will be weighting on your shoulders.

No bridge! No problem take your shoes off and cross it by foot!

You simply go to your own pace and enjoy mother nature`s own miracles.

There is a true feeling of pride and accomplishment after a good day of hike!

While hiking on the low tide zone. You explore a very different environment. This star fish was actual moving away!

This is a very pleasant workout.
The world is all yours.

A very nice feature of the trail is the numerous wooden bridges. Indiana Jones style!

A bit more technical this part of the trek takes you on top of giant boulders. Excellent for your balance and great workout for the cores.

This part of the hike is my favorite. The sound of the waves uplift you spirit.

Mr Devin Mattews! Personal trainer. This exploration trip will be followed by some group trekking with clients in the near future.

While mostly in the forest, the trail
peaks out for some stunning view points.

These home made bridges are alot of fun. They also keep you from getting too muddy. Each ones are unique.

Sunset at bear beach!

As the sun wakes up, the forest becomes a surreal scene.

All along the route on the beach we can see some amazing rock formations.

This is boulder hiking at his best. Climbing Up and down works your bum and thighs.

A warm fire and a beautiful view. This is prime time real estate. Sign up now for the next group trek!

Hello my friends. I just got back from vacation in the Florida Keys and the Bahamas last night and I got a great news from Malama international productions

I am featured in the new release Aloha Life movie -
http://www.alohalifemovie.com.

Aloha Life is a documentary based on the Aloha Life workshops presented by host Alika Medeiros. Alika learned of the Aloha Life from his grandmother and it has been passed from generation to generation of Hawaiians through their ancient chants and the hula hula. The Aloha Life is not a new concept, nor is it a secret. It is an education in the old teachings, a balanced system of personal development, healing and spiritual discipline. The world's great teachers have preached for centuries what the the Hawaiian people live through an Aloha Life. The islands of Hawaii hold the key for achieving total personal power, boundless love and an eternal peace - that key is an ALOHA LIFE!

The movie is registered with imdb.com
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1210792/) where I already I had an
entry for the film Deadly Little Secrets. Because of the new film,
my "STARmeter" is up 96% over last week!

Having met Alika myself, I can tell you that his outlook on life is healthy and powerful. This philosophy will help you deal with the urban stress like it did for me.
Way to go Alika !
Get it now! It will change your vision of life.

Yvan Playgirl feed back

2008-02-11T10:55:00.000-08:00

April`s edition of Playgirl magazine featuring myself as been released 2 weeks ago now. Thanks to you my friends, most stores are now sold out in north-America and Europe. People ask me where they can find the magazines ? All I can say is that the editors in New-York told me that a second delivery will hit the stands on Valentines Day.

Thanks to everyone who showed up at the autograph sessions and for your numerous email questions and comments, the pleasure is truly mine.

Here is my answers to some of them.

1) Are you proud of being featured in Playgirl for a record 6th time? As a fitness model and as a men, it is a huge honor for me and I take it as a great compliment.

2) How do you feel about the fact that millions of people are seeing you nude ? Well, early in my career I had the privilege to worked with some of the best fine art artists in the world like McTavish, Klein, Edrossa. I respect the effect of my body as an source of artistic and sometimes sexual influence.

3) How does people close to you react to this international ``exposure``? My family and friends are very supportive of my career and they know that this is simply another part of my fitness modeling career in the same note as Fitness magazines or even fashion spreads.

4) What are your short term plans following that Playgirl wave ? There is already 3 announcement to be made in the next few weeks concerning other major features in the fashion and glamor field. Stay tuned for more, 2008 is starting on a really good note and I am ready for the next level.

Merci a vous tous ! Et spécialement a mes conpatriotes fancophones et francophiles.

Yvan goes snowboarding

2008-01-21T19:09:00.001-08:00

Ok today I`am at Cypress mountain 20 mins outside of downtown Vancouver. The forecast is amazing 60cm of new snow! let`s ride!

My crew from left top right: Labrosse, Frenchie,Danny cool, and our guide Rob...it`s gonna be a good day!

....Beaucoup de plaisir....

My first jump !...

...Followed immediately by my first crash!

At 4.5 meters of snow on the ground and still growing, Cypress is the official site for the upcoming Vancouver winter Olympics of 2010. As far as me, my cruising speed as room for improvement. I think I lost the other guys...

I am still learning new tricks but first how to handle the deep powder snow? Keep your weight to the back foot...easier said then done.

Up here is the view is amazing. Behind me, the Georgia Strait. It looks like I am on the moon.

This is what snowboarding is all about. Lots of laughs and a big breath of fresh air.

It`s time to get back home. I had a blast and will be back real soon.

A bientôt les amis!...

``Early in the morning, on my way to the small studio in the west-end I know the day is gonna be very special. Large snow flakes are falling from the sky which is very rare phenomenon for Vancouver. The city landscape is surreal as palm trees and normally evergreen giant sequoia tree ware filled with a thin layer of sugar icing. It even reminds me of my native Québec and that puts me in a very peaceful and relax mood. I am happy!``

``The shoot features a line of winter clothes and right away, I feel comfortable on this chilly environment. But of course, I have to bring a bit of Yvan to it....

M.r Mori is extremely calm and he do not give me much directions. He simply let`s me move and dance to the rhythm of the music.

As I start my 7th year in the modeling industry, I feel like I am in the right place right now and specially, this shoot is a great warm up for the new season. I am having fun today and I feel very confident that a lot of other great photos will come from that work with Yusuke Mori. ``

Yvan`s first time blood donation

2007-10-16T15:13:00.000-07:00

For the first time of my life I decided to give some of my blood to the science. I dont know what to expect but I am a bit nervous as the nurse gets the niddle deep into my skin. It burns a bit but definitely more fear then hurt. I still rather close my eyes and imagining ``some cute rabbits running in giant green field``.

I am very curious about the entire operation. It`s a bit weird to see so much blood coming out of my body. Am I gonna survive this ? Maybe I should have stay home after all.Exactly 5 min and 20 seconds later I reach the 1.5 liters limit for blood donation. it is a new speed record according to the smiley nurse. The size of my arms and my excitement sure helped in setting it.

Cool ! it`s all over . That was quick! And you know what ? I have a new best feeling inside my heart right now . A mix of pride and giant happiness! And I like that!!! I will be back I promise Melinda, she was great as well as the entire crew of the Vancouver blood agency! See you soon guys and thanks for the importance of your work.
I now realize more then ever the importance of giving blood. I encourage you guys to do the same it`s a great and fun experience and you can really save lives.

A bientot les amis!

Yvan`s Haloween Sabbing incident THE VERDICT

2007-07-09T14:20:00.000-07:00

All of these facts events were taken from the official Vancouver Police Report of october 31 2004.

As most of you know, a terrible incident changed the course of my life about 3 years ago. It happened on my way back from a costumed party on Halloween Eve 2004.

At the party, I think I am pretty believable vampire just ask my friend Taz!!

I was outside the lobby of my building still in my werewolf costume when intoxicated men came from the street addressing me and my best friend Paul because we were speaking French.At first i tried to ignore him but the drunken Vietnam Veteran (that was his costume) was getting more and more intrusive even insulting my culture and my language while pushing me on the shoulder several times. Coming from a small town myself I took offense to this and asked him politely to get going with his walk and leave us alone. At this moment the man grabbed the cane that was part of his costume and started hitting me as hard as he could in the face. After receiving 3 direct hits , I managed to block the next five strikes with my forearm as I was walking toward him to force a fist fight. Unfortunately for me the next strike came with so much speed and force that i could not block it properly and got it right on the nose. Witness were starting to gather around us as I realized that i was bleeding like a river. My nose was now bent in a 45 degree angle to the left . A fist fight followed in the middle of Nelson Street. I managed to land a couple of rights and a powerful uppercut right on the chin. The unknown man left the by foot running away and crying loudly. This is when 2 of the witness took me into their home to clean up my injuries and putting my nose back to place. About 1 hour later I came back downstairs to the lobby to look for my cell phone that i dropped during the incident. These photos were taken less then 15 minutes before the stabbing.

All of the sudden, a man dressed with a long black jacket and a hoodie walk by us pushed me twice on the chest and on the hips. As I turned around I notice that the men was holding a large butcher knife (about 30 com long) with blood dripping from the tip. This was the same man that hit me with the cane 1 hour earlier.It took me about 5 seconds to realize it and then it struck me !!! ``This is my blood and I just got stab``. My first reaction was to engage the fight once again but I quickly change my mind when the men started running after me yelling and wiping his weapon from let to right yelling I will kill you! , I will kill you ! His eyes were the ones of a animal or even so a demon. I ran for my life all around the building and coming across the security guard. I tried explain what was happening and kept running to the other side of the building. There was my best friend Paul. He was hurt too. He got several stabs in the back and in the sides. The small holes were getting bigger each second and we were loosing blood very fast. I took the decision to run to the nearest hospital only 1 block away because I knew our time was running out. Only a few meters before the St-Paul`s emergency, Paul collapse the knife punctured on of his lung and breathing was now impossible for him...then blackout... I woke up the next morning with 2 nice scars on my right side. One just bellow the pectoral muscle and the other on the hip bone. The police was already in the room taking my deposition. This is when i heard the loudest OOOOUCH!! from a room across the hall.
Paul was till alive too and he was receiving treatment to remove water from his lung. We both will recover completely from our injuries said Doctor Labonté. Paul was gonna have to be out of work for a few weeks.

As of for me. Well God was on my side !

Fortunately the knife went strait in a about 15 centimeters into right side of my chest. If that would have happen into my left side, my heart would have been cut. But on the left side there is no major organ and I thank god for that.

Now 3 years latter:.... Stabbing incident ... the verdict!

Well my friends, after a very intense couple of months spent in court, I am back in the groove. The now famous stabbing trial is finally to my greatest joy. During that time I had to explain over and over what I remembered about the night of October 31st 2004 when myself and my best friend Paul Théberge were attacked by mysterious disguised men .

Most of my job in court was to comment and identify what I was seeing on the surveillance camera . It might be be over 3 years already but to be confronted to that situation once again was quite a personal challenge. To see my death so close and survive to talk about it in front a jury is an experience I will remember all of my life. Has of today I can confidently say that I am physically and mentally completely healed from my wounds. I am now ready to move on with the rest of my life. Unfortunately due to the lack of proves and despite the fact that both myself and Paul clearly identify the stabber, the young men accused of committing this ugly crime was officially found NOT GUILTY today at the British-Columbia Provincial Court. The 10 men and women of the jury were not convinced without a doubt on the identity of the person. I am Yvan Cournoyer and I am very proud of my statement in court and I know I said all the truth, only the truth. For that reason I am honestly accepting the verdict of the Court of British-Columbia and I welcome the next stage of my life ! Thanks so much for your support messages and Let`s get ready to enjoy to the summer heat!! I feel like 100lbs is removed from my shoulders and I feel really good about this.

C`EST LA VIE !!! See you next Halloween !
