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
