“You can’t live a full life and sleep in.”

– coach ilg



WF Online Student Mike Cerame of NY, �…attempting a yogi squat during a hike in the beautiful cold Long Island air!� It feels so good to be out in nature. Ai- shonada (Korean for — oh, it feels so good!)�

{Ilg coaching hint; yogi squat works best with your heels facing uphill, not downhill!}

Dearest Coach,

�I took an Ashtanga Yoga class with Stacy at {a nearby yoga studio} tonight. I enjoyed it. It is not like HP yoga, but I appreciate having someone to help�me with my�postures. It will help improve my HP practice for sure. Stacy read the following from “The Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali” before and after the class and I thought you would appreciate it:

“….it is not merely philosophy that Pantanjali is about to expound, but rather direct instruction on how to practice Yoga. Mere philosophy will not satisfy us. We cannot reach the goal by mere words alone.� Without practice, nothing can be achieved.”

�

With love & chi,

Student MC

Los Angeles Times – Tuesday November 30, 2004

Joined at the toe clip

Eight years ago four cyclists who were complete strangers put themselves

through a 508-mile introduction in the Southern California outback. Their

cramp crucible united them in a brotherhood of pain — and came within a few

minutes of winning the race. This time, reports Roy M. Wallack, he’s out to

prove he won’t mess it up for the crew.

another reason to eat Dolphin Safe tuna…(or not eat fish at all)?

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Reuters) – A pod of dolphins circled protectively round a group of New Zealand swimmers to fend off an attack by a great white shark, media reported on Tuesday.

Lifesavers Rob Howes, his 15-year-old daughter Niccy, Karina Cooper and Helen Slade were swimming 100 metres (300 feet) off Ocean Beach near Whangarei on New Zealand’s North Island when the dolphins herded them – apparently to protect them from a shark. Dolphins are known to attack sharks to protect their own young.

“They started to herd us up, they pushed all four of us together by doing tight circles around us,” Howes told the New Zealand Press Association (NZPA). Howes tried to drift away from the group, but two of the bigger dolphins herded him back just as he spotted a three-meter (nine foot) great white shark swimming towards the group. “I just recoiled. It was only about 2 meters (6 feet) away from me, the water was crystal clear and it was as clear as the nose on my face,” Howes said. “They had corralled us up to protect us,” he said.

The lifesavers spent the next 40 minutes surrounded by the dolphins before they could safely swim back to shore.

Environment group Orca Research said dolphins attacked sharks to protect themselves and their young, so their actions in protecting the lifesavers was understandable. “They could have sensed the danger to the swimmers and taken action to protect them,” Orca’s Ingrid Visser told NZPA.
