Wholistic Fitness

OUR HUMBLE COACH GETS BLASTED PUBLICLY!



having and living with a paralyzing spinal injury keeps me both humble and in constant Citi-Shakti (see DL;1/30/05). instead of standing, i am forced to Yoga Squat (see above) in order to keep the stress off my lower back. it took me 8 years to finally yoga squat with both heels on the earth. another 3 years were required to keep my toes in line with my knees. i will be honest, i do have enough of an ego to experience hurtful feelings when people like the guy below goes worldwide in his slander of my LifeWork. i may be feeble yet, my efforts are noble to produce a quality vibration into the UniVerse within my life span. i know i am an easy target for the typical macho guy mentality, still, it hurts even after 25 years of developing a ‘thick skin’ to international visibility of what i attempt to sing during my life. Warriors that know me, like Keith Kostman and Roy Wallack (L-R, above) my teammates at the Furnace Creek 508 race know my sincere effort at trying to become a better human being. Choose to live your life as an open book, however, and all sorts of people take cheap shots at you. somebody should sign this guy up below for a Private WF Intensive with me! I’ll kill him with WF Love through multi-disciplined sweat and stillness! I guess all i am saying is,

thank you, Noble WF Warriors, for choosing to Be Here Now

your support is vital.

WF is a path of karma yoga service on my behalf…if i wanted to make money,

trust me, i would NOT be trying to put forth such a Noble, Steep, and Difficult Path as WF!

Another “Genius” who invented a new form of fitness…

Reviewer:

EJ Passeos “Namaste (Yogis for Republicans)” (Akron, OH (losertown) United States) – See all my reviews

In reality, ILG is just another fit goof looking to make a buck, while making stupid and insulting commnents about others (not Yogi-like).

Mr. Ilg ridicules bodybuilders and pretends to be a sage to runners as he forecasts health doom for daily runners who don’t incorporate his brand of fitness (read: buy my book, I’m a genius).

To the contrary, he hasn’t “invented” anything new in Yoga, other than the arrogance to claim doing so. His advice on cross-training is common among most intelligent yogis (Baron Baptiste exhorts his followers to do some form of cardio). Only an idiot is unaware that a yogi should do cardio (or a cardio junkie should do Yoga and strength train).

Mr. Ilg regales us with tales of his “most popular” Yoga class that he started at a Powerhouse Gym in L.A. Of course, he insults everyone there and implies they are “juicers” and too unintelligent to understand the benefits of Yoga.

Later on, he implies that his weightlifting techniques are unique because he stresses the “ying and yang” of the movement. In english, that is the positive and negative that every informed weightlifter/bodybuilder/powerlifter has known about since the beginning of time.

Other bits of wisdom:

Eat with chopsticks

Fast from media (this is a classic)

Get a squatting device for defecation!

Man, this is fun. Is this why you purchase of book on getting fit??

Ladies and gentlemen, get a “normal” book on Yoga (Baptiste, Rodney Yee, Hatha Yoga illustrated), a basic strength building (I enjoy Power to the People by Pavel Tsatsouline) book, and walk, run, ride a bike, or do any other form of aerobic conditioning. You don’t need a bufoon extolling the benefits of “squat dumping” to get you in shape. Fitness is really rather simple if you take the time to learn–and you should.

As always, thank you Amazon.com for the great service and value.

Namaste,

Noble DL Readers,

i love the “Namaste” sign off from this poor fellow who evidently has not had the Blessings of wise, spiritually mature Teachers in his life.

if you feel it Appropriate Action:

1) open your heart chakra and send this poor fellow some WF Compassion,

for i have trained you all in the importance of our mental ripples that we send out to the UniVerse. such

unprovoked negativity like that which spews forth from such sophomoric mouths and undisciplined minds

will only damage this being’s soul. have compassion for his obvious need for attention, no matter what the spiritual

price for sourcing such hurtful words, particularly when we book authors of fitness and spirit work so hard to produce a positive ripple in a pretty crazy society!

2) at Amazon.com you can click on REPORT THIS REVIEW as INAPPROPRIATE.

i bow to you doing this, so other Peaceful Warriors will not be turned off from the sincere help of TBT.

3) you may wish to contact the author of the negative messages. he has filled Amazon.com review departments with similar lower chakra blather; his email is:

ejpasseos@yahoo.com

you might tell him that the “ilg bufoon’ reminds him that when writing reviews, at least he should run a Spell Check!

thank you. i appreciate my Noble Warriors gettin’ my back every now and then…

i know i am an easy target for such beings…

may all beings be happy

om mani padme hung

head bowed from the humble Helm,
