What’s the meaning behind our logo and our name?

5D Global Fitness and a little water spiral. What does it all mean?

 

Let’s begin with the logo, the most simple visual imagery. It stems from one of my favorite quotes of all time:

 

“Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

 

We strive to teach our member family to just be who they really are, to encourage full expression of self in an environment of acceptance that is not devoid of challenge and transformation. We understand true transformation will never happen until we realize the truth of our current condition and accept ourselves fully where we are. We promote radical self-love and continual growth.

 

Now let’s explore the why behind the name 5D Global Fitness.

 

Global because we provide access to retreats around the globe and have roots in California, Puerto Rico, and Indonesia. On another level, we use the word GLOBAL because we strive to provide fitness training for the WHOLE individual. We seek to help the learner integrate.

 

Fitness because, of course, we understand a fit body makes the path to a fit mind easier. In turn, having a fit body and mind temple eases the path toward a grounded spirituality. We are spiritual beings having an earthly experience, multi-dimensional.

 

There is no unconditional self-love without an acceptance and a caring for of the vehicle we use to experience life on this earthly dimension.

 

We believe discipline leads to freedom. Fitness through discipline. We don’t offer or want anything to do with shortcuts or magic pills. We are not interested in cheat codes. We are interested in deep, fully aware experiences and in making the habit, practiced lovingly and with rigor, into who we are.

 

Finally, let me give a little insight on the colors used in our logo. Green and tones of blue and purple. If you are familiar with Eastern philosophies, yoga, sound healing or Reiki energy healing, then you have heard about the chakra system. A collection of energetic vortexes located throughout the body, with the lower centers closer to the lower parts of the spine and the higher centers concentrating above the shoulder area.

 

There is a neutral center known as the Anahata or Heart Chakra, and it is usually represented by the color green. The idea is when we approach life with neutrality, we are clear and connected with a higher intelligence, so that our decisions are the best for not just us, but those around us. We live in harmony and flow between the internal and external worlds with ease.

 

Blue and Indigo represent the Throat Chakra and Third Eye Chakras, respectively. The throat center is strengthened through conditioning of the physical body. It is a pretty fair assumption a person who strengthens physically gains more confidence to speak their truth. A strong third eye center allows you to visualize what you want to manifest and is tied to creative livingBlue and Indigo represent the Throat Chakra and Third Eye Chakras, respectively.

Finally, purple is the color used to represent our highest nature, our closest access to the divinity within. By strengthening these energy centers we are able to approach each day from a place of abundance, to truly be like water. Humble, yet powerful. Flowing and life-affirming.

 

Please join us in this exploration, in this looking for the sublime in all the things we do. We promise to show you how to make art of the mundane. How to find joy in the routines of life. How to make yourself the best company you have ever had. No matter what class or workshop you take with us, yoga, pilates, sound healing, HIIT, or barre, we will take the time prior to each session to allow for mind, body, and spirit to align through intentional meditation.
