Dear Steve,
Wholistic fitness is the way forward….. Just want to tell you a little story. I am recovering from major operation to correct a chest deformity I had from birth which gave me very bad posture, chronic pain, mental unhealth and breathing problems. Was in spite of this very active person, into mountaineering etc. After the operation I set myself a plan over several years to achieve not just fitness but happiness. It involved taoist meditation, pilates, cardio and strength training along with proper nutrition….! sound familiar? When I read your ‘3 month book’ I was very pleased but not that suprised to see your essentially similar philosophy( substitute buddhism/Zen for the taoist stuff and yoga for the pilates…). I am improving steadily but have a very long path to tread( don’t we all). Very Happy that you are introducing many people to the reality of what it means to be a fully functioning human! Namaste
Tom

Coach’s Teachings
Most teachings are for Wholistic Fitness Members only. Some are complimentary.
These teachings are the "Rasas" or "sap" of Wholistic Fitness. You’ll find insights to ponder, student chi to keep your own chi topped off, and plenty of proven training techniques to test on your own body, mind, and spirit! Also, you’ll find my very popular Race Reports, and news of our Sangha’s (community’s) latest transpersonal fitness adventures!
You have access to thousands of posts going all the way back to 2002. The Archives makes for ideal Svadhyaya, and if you don’t know what that important term means ... all the more reason to dive into these amazing WF Scriptural Recordings!
Checking out one or two archived teachings every day or so is an AMAZINGLY EFFECTIVE way to stay connected with your Tribe AND maintain consistency and motivation in what matters most: your own practice.
Note: We'll be fixing broken image links, and cleaning up the categorization of archived posts, over time.
