Physical awareness is our body’s ability to sense, adapt, and stabilize itself in real time. It should be considered our sixth sense, alongside sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. Too often we fail to appreciate our physical awareness. Vital people seek to strengthen it by focusing on their breathing and balance.

Thousands of exercise routines are designed to improve our flexibility, strength and endurance. Very few are dedicated to exclusively to improving physical awareness. Below is my simple daily routine based on teaching vitality for more than eight years. A video can also be found at the end of this post about the routine.
