Please note that Three Body Workout is canceled tomorrow.

Also, please note that Richard and Colette will be arriving on Thursday evening. You won’t want to miss the opportunity to spend time with them. Not only to learn dance but also because they are beautiful people.

Lastly, I can’t even express in words how excited I am about our workshop on September 9th: Inspirational Relationships: Personal and Professional applications. It offers a style of communication that is inspiring and useful for everyone.

Special Workshop based on the Work of David Deida
Presented by Michael Jascz and Allene Friedman.

Three Body Workout

The Three Body Workout is the “gold star” physical practice designed by the Integral Institute. It is a daily practice that integrates strength training (physical body), energy practice (subtle body), and feeling to infinity (causal body). It incorporates elements of yoga, martial arts, strength training, affirmation and more. The practice is designed to stimulate the practitioner to become more fully awake and effective in his or her life. The benefits of the three body workout are:

• Balances and centers body and psyche
• Provides an overall warm-up, raising the heartbeat, increasing blood flow, and sending heat to all parts of the body
• Articulates nearly every major joint, enhancing lubrication of the synovial joints (such as shoulder, ankle, or knee, which are surrounded by fluid-filled capsules)
• Provides stretches to increase flexibility in the major muscle groups
• Provide essential strength exercises
• Offers relaxation practice that can be accessed at any moment
• Enhances the capacity for deep, rhythmic breathing
• Apply transformational imaging and affirmations, utilizing the power of intentionality to effect positive changes in body and psyche
• Offers a standing meditation that brings one in contact with higher levels of awareness

The Integral Institute is a think-tank founded in 1998 by American philosopher, psychologist, and mystic Ken Wilber. The Integral Institute is dedicated to the health, development and enlightenment of individuals and society. Notable members of the Integral Institute include: Stuart David, Alex Grey, Deepak Chopra, Michael Murphy, Roger Walsh, Don Beck, Larry Dossey Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ed Kowalczyk (from the band Live) and more. You can obtain more information about the Integral Institute at: www.integralinstitute.org.

Couples Sensual Yoga

Yoga, the ancient practice used to unite, mind, body, and spirit can become the pathway to deeper, more passionate relationship. Developed for couples, this form of yoga is tailored to take lovers to new levels of caring and intimacy. In practicing sensual yoga, couples can counter the effects of a stress filled world while discovering a greater sense of awareness, and sensitivity to each other. Drawing on the spiritual and health benefits of traditional yoga practices, plus adding Neo Tantra principles, this class helps partners share in a serene state of togetherness, as they establish a connection that is both physical and spiritual.

Appropriate for beginners as well as experienced yoga practitioners, the basic sequence of partnered postures, teach lovers to communicate by using their bodies, breath and sense of touch to express the highest forms of emotion. In just minutes every day you can:

• Relax, stretch, and tone every part of your body
• Eliminate stress and induce a state of wonderful calm
• Use sensual touch to nurture intimacy
• Enhance physical and emotional communications with your partner
• Heighten your sexual energy

Come with an inquiring spirit, a sense of humor, and a desire to explore the full potential of your relationship.
