Namaste Noble Warriors!

“Just to be is a blessing.

Just to live is holy.”

– Rabbi Abraham Heschel

Don’t TAF (think and feel) for one moment that i don’t know that many of you are disappointed in my recent inability to keep pace with the volume of items and services purchased from my humble Temple.

forgive my weakness.

please know that many are being served. those that are served are only prioritized before you because you vibrate at a Higher Level than those who i choose to serve before you.

the day may soon come when my humble Temple is taken over by a much larger and capable Force than i to serve you. until then, i can only squat before you like a zen mendicant, begging for your patience. my Highest students have said not a word. they know the pressure of which i am under…they compassionately choose not to press me.

soon, i will have more hands to assist, but WF and HP Yoga is not a McDonalds type of service. we are unique. we, in fact, stand alone in the depth, dimension, quality, and spiritual sounding of our Work. as my newest Teacher, WF Teacher Chris Roche wrote to a WF Student waiting for a Program Update:

“Dear Student I.S.,

greetings. �Teacher roche here. �Coach Ilg offers his deepest, most sincere, Heartfelt apologies for the delay in your program update. �many Shifts are occurring within the WF Temple. �i know first hand having just left WF Headquarters in LA. let me assure you, Coach is putting his Best Effort into guiding the WF Ship. �i believe we are all about to be amazed by what manifests from (t)his Work.

Coach has sent me to you. �i am Here Now and ready to serve as your WF Teacher. �if you choose to continue your Inner Journey through the study of WF i can create your update immediately. �as a karmic offering, and in recognition of your patience and devotion, Coach Ilg would like to offer your next month of training free of charge.

you may read my bio on the WF website, under “Instructors”. �feel free to ask me questions. �

Namaste,

Teacher roche”

what you read here in DL is training (free of charge for years) that most personal trainers of my caliber would charge an arm and a leg for. you get it for free…every day, right here.

you already know the Way.

just stay Here Now

and in-Joy the fact that the longer you wait for direct word from me

many others are being helped.

i rarely sleep.

i am doing my best.

the moon is high, the north forests cry with snow.

to the south the ocean stretches into the Big Dipper

in ways far beyond my flimsy comprehension.

this morning in predawn zazen class i kept one student’s mind from drifting.



in yoga class, later today, �one man’s life shifted from restriction toward expansion.

the Light of my humble Work goes on.

one person at a time.

i must trust what my Tibetan Teachers taught me; Ripples make waves.

Still, on seductively cold wet days like this one,

the season’s changes stir my heart.

i feel lonely for my high mountains

where notes of snow still cascade upon my asphalt surrounded spirit.

thank you for your patience with my feebleness…

this Work that comes through this mountain yogi is far, far too powerful.

i, like you in your own life,

am only doing what i feel is my best.

so it is

upon a night gust of leaf studded wind

i bow to you…

that is all.

love,

coach ilg ����
