Stop chasing PRs while your body breaks down… 

Choose Quality over Quantity.

Become Strong and Resilient.

Teach your body to heal as it grows.  

When we say THRIVE… what we mean is that you gain the ability to:  Compete. Perform. Play. Execute. Operate. Hike. Play with your kids and grandkids. Help your neighbor move furniture. Whatever it is in life that brings you joy and contentment by moving your body and being active – that’s what THRIVE is about!!!

Just as MOVE and SURVIVE are cross-cutting domains of practice and concepts – so too is THRIVE. All training at IMMA is focused on developing all three domains. However, there are unique aspects that comprise the THRIVE phase, as discussed below.

Learn how to integrate RECOVERY into all aspects and phases of your training: preparatory work, within each rep and set, between reps and sets, and post-training. You will learn unique methods to implement during and between training sessions, which are designed to aid in your recovery. RESTORE yourself at will utilizing simple but powerful breathwork coupled with focused movements and techniques – acting upon and enhancing your nervous system, cardiovascular system and your fascia networks. RESET your mental, emotional and spiritual baselines and re-balance the body-mind connection.  

Learn to “right size” your training by choosing QUALITY over QUANTITY, the MINIMUM EFFECTIVE DOSE philosophy and complementing these with proven recovery and restoration methods. 

 IMMA offers a myriad of options for you to achieve this robust health, resilience and longevity. The list below calls out some of the more significant practices available to you to achieve your Longevity and Resilience goals.

IMMA Breathwork

The breathwork at IMMA is itself a curriculum, based on the book The Breath is the Work. A comprehensive and transformational practice that is singularly unique. You will not find a more diverse, more challenging and more effective breathwork program than what is offered at IMMA. Elevate your performance, drastically improve recovery, and replace your operating system – i.e. your psyche or your perception of consciousness. Be aware that this form of breathwork is challenging – mentally and physically – as it is designed to re-wire elements of your neurological and neuromuscular systems. This type of change dictates effort and diligence. The rewards are more than worth it.

There are also more calming and relaxing forms of breathwork that we do. In almost all things at IMMA you will find a true balance of hard and soft, or Yin and Yang. This work offers a transformative experience with very low intensity.
