Troika means “three” in Russian and it also applies to a certain method of harnessing three horses. The Troika goes beyond the three body types by addressing three levels of awareness and thought process, three principles of existence (spirit, mind and body), three stages of life, and the three aspects of time (past, present, future). January is often a time of reflection with the end of the calendar year, a time to take a look at where you’ve been, where you are and where you’re going.
