Wholistic Fitness�; Our Babies Got (Functional) Back…
– the Backside of WF Teacher Joy “Ananda” Kilpatrick performing ‘Garaduasana’ captured beautifully from the lens of Wayne Williams (www.waynewilliamsstudio.com)
WF Online Teacher, High Performance Yoga� instructor, and SUNRIDER Director Ananda knows very well the benefits of our humble, yet powerful Path
when it comes to creating beautiful sensual lines that are functionally fit enough to gain the top of podiums and, most importantly, how the development of Backside Beauty� (a Steve Ilg/WF book project) is imperative to development of the subtle anatomical fitness for spiritual work.

A while ago in DL, i Taught you that,
“Along the Path of Wisdom, there is no such thing as sin.”
– Coach ilg
*
Well, i lied.
Okay, i didn’t lie actually, however, i failed to point out the exception that proves the rule…
there is one sin along the Path of Wisdom…
at least in THIS humble Temple…
that sin?
a flat ass.

show me someone with a flat ass?
and i will show you someone in need of some deep down guts and CHI!!!!!
don’t be sitting around on a flabby, flat ass preachin’ about Enlightenment and spiritual wisdom to me, bucko!
the very Housing of Kundalini requires you to open and develop all physiologic and emotional aspects of the hips..
a flat ass is devoid of the multilayered energy generated within the ‘Hip Chain Musculature” which i write about in TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATION and more practically in perhaps the best butt-building book on the planet; THE WINTER ATHLETE.
Fortunately for all Humans everywhere, some of the younger generation, like WF Devotee Kristi Lees, are picking up the Sacred Sweat Scriptures of WF and animating it with their own chi:
{Student Lees; Another WF Butt that displays the tapas (inner fire) required for Self Cultivation.}
Kristi writes in her blog; REFLECTIONS today:
“Aaahhh the Divine feeling of being Wholistically Fit �
�
This month I am tackling a program from the Winter Athlete* – another inLightening book by Steve �Coach� Ilg. This particular cycle has an emphasis on cardio and some crazy plyometric workouts that kick butt (literally!)
�… I did my first lower body workout from this cycle yesterday. Man oh man! I have trained my backside before, mainly in the more conventional ways, yet this was/is off the charts!…

On a subtle anatomical level, a flat or flabby ass bespeaks of a Mula Bandha and Ashwini Mudra that is weak and incapable of stopping and reversing the downward flow of a particular type of Life Force known as apana-vayu. I have Taught you the energetic structure and function of these internal locks and flows in previous DL’s. Don’t write me and ask me to find them again for you. I am a Coach, not an Archivist. it is up to your Sankalpa (powerful determination) to keep these DLs for your Practice and Wisdom. I give a lot in these forums, and i Listen closely to which Readers and Students are using DL wisely…and respectively.
Now, back to the butts…
The current plague of ADD (“Ass Development Deficiency” syndrome) is a sin-effect from a society Addicted To Comfort.
We sit on our asses too much and do not have the Sankalpa to do the Sweat and Deep Fiber work upon which genuine Enlightenment-Within-The-Body depends. Not enough Cardio Commuting. Not enough Intervals. Not enough Squats in the gym. Not enough skiing, snowshoeing, stair-running… Many of us have desires for a more shapely hind end, yet we do not have the Shakti (means). Training the glutes develops the Sankalpa to achieve the Shakti. Shakti women do not run with the wolves…they run stairs, and mountains, and even treadmills when they have to…
oh, speaking of Stair Running…
i got this email from Lisa “Vishnu Doll” Goldsmith, whom, you may recall, was one of my teammates during our victory at Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon last February…
Seems like Lisa gained yet another Podium…click on the photo to be inspired by this Ripped Goddess of The Functional Glutes…oh, and gee whiz…look at what Scripture she is tapped into:
“Shiva Muscle!!!{aka Coach Ilg},
Vishnu Doll does Boston!�. I am officially undefeated in my stair racing career, and am safe to say it until at least next �season.� Ha. Hahaha�Another �lite-field� of stair racers; 2 guys (20-29 age group) beat me, ah, gee, oh well
I will like to (please) purchase a TBT book, but only with personal auto-graphing ;~)
Hope all is blissful near the base of the Sacred Mountain
Bowing bowing, always bowing,
Lisa!”

Congratulations Vishnu Doll!!!!!
and, i will send you your signed TBT book pronto!
Noble DL Readers;
are you able to Sense anything going on here?
Ass Development is more than just struttin’ around town with a head-turning hiney…
Ass Development is critical for getting to know the true ROOT of who you are, and
where your Central Seat of All Basic Instinct, Samskara, and Karmic Command Nodule is (Muladhara/Swvadisthana/Manipura Chakras).
Essentially, how well do you know yourself?
Your Glutes will reveal that Truth.
I can build a butt on ANYONE…hell, SHAPE Magazine used to call my office every damn week wanting me to
give them “quick quotes” on How To Sculpt A Shapely Butt
until i grew weary of the quick quotes and tried to impart some Behind Dharma…that scared em off and they retreated back into their I Hate Cellulite Brain States…
However, building a WF Butt means a very real encounter with a lot of stuff, emotional stuff, stuff that you resist, stuff that you have likely resisted for lifetimes – …so, get ready, get ripped, go for the cross-striated Glutes baby before you die! …your Journey to a WF Butt capable of both physical super feats, traffic stopping chi, and most importantly, the foundation of energetic development for Enlightenment is right around the next Jump Squat and Interval Session…
Don’t go through life with a Flat Ass devoid of Personal Power and Transpersonal Insight…
Go and get the best Butt you can muster…, trust me, you will Learn Many Beautiful Things Along your unique study under your Gluteal Guru!
Any of my books will offer you fantastic Butt and Legs Development, however, the programs in THE WINTER ATHLETE, are by far and away, the most superior Rear End BodyWork routines on the planet.
If you would like a Certified WF Teacher to design a WF Program just for you and your hiney potentiality, you just let me know.
Head Bowed From The No-Flat Ass Temple up here, beneath the Sacred Peak,
namaste,
coach ilg
