Wholistic Fitness

– Wholistic Fitness…

Where Sweat and Stillness Merge –

– Coach Ilg

One of the meanings of HaTha Yoga is “Union of the Right and the Left.”

if you fancy yourself a yogin, then do this:

become ambidextrous before you die.

There are those who consider themselves un-addicted

yet spend their entire lives addicted to using only one side of their bodies.

For example, a person may grow up as a ‘right handed’ child

and 30 years later find themselves still addicted to what in Western sport training

is called, “Lateral Dominance”…they have only deepened their addiction being ‘right-handed.”

the serial distortion and dis-ease that such addiction causes is beyond measure, yet i

have heard of no other yoga teacher or Western scientist speak of what seems to me to be a

glaring error in the way we manage our body/mind fitness.

man, why does feeble ilg got to think of EVERYTHING around here? 😉

seriously, however…

If you are addicted to using one side of your body, i can promise you this much:

you are as unskilled in thinking and feeling reality as are you as unskilled when

using your non-dominant side. think about that.

don’t want to be an ‘addict?’

want to find kinesthetic Balance in this lifetime?

want to Practice Yoga 24 hours a day? then start using your non-dominant sides.

if you are like most of my Students, you will find what they found and I found. doing so will cause you

to:

1)slow down (a lot)

and

2) become humbled by how stupid you’ve let yourself grow into one-sided dominance of body and mind.

this yogic realization of your fitness ignorance will cause you to either take two Paths:

1) become patient and devoted toward your Wholeness or

2) think that i am the most craziest teacher of yoga and fitness walking the planet and you will quit

trying to balance your side-to-side lateral kinesthesia.

don’t have time for Yoga today?

wrong.

do this:

develop your non-dominant skill coordination today and you will begin to See many new in-sights.

jao!
