I am introducing a power plate in my pilates studio and finally launching a website (pilatesintheberkshires.com) and it all made me think about what integral fitness really means, meaning fitness in all four quadrants, inner outer, individual and collective (see Wilber AQAL).
A few things come to mind right away: The relationship between thought (inner) and what the body can do (outer) - and also in reverse - what should being in great shape mean about the inner attitude (see interview with Frank Zane in What Is Enlightenment magazine 39, he is very impressive!)
When is it time to push and when is it time to 'let things happen'?
How do the collective aspects fit into this? We are part of a culture and the way we move/ work out/ are healthy or not affects a lot of people. But what about the inner aspect, teh bottom left quadrant - does anyone have thoughts here?
Lots to keep going with...
