“May your trails be crooked,
winding, 
lonesome, 
dangerous, 
leading to the most amazing view. May your mountans rise into and above the clouds.”
– Edward Abbey
ain’t it ’bout time to unplug from the iPod and go for a reRead of Desert Solitaire?..
forget the quick link to Amazon.com…
Ed woulda kicked me in my nuts if i allowed you to just quick link to buy his book…
least you could do is hunt for it on the internet…
dear Buddha..when i recall the way we used to have to use Card Catalogs at the library! jesus…

Namaste Noble Flagstaff HP Yogi’s!
well, i KNOW i am back in Flag when i get Welcome Back emails like this from Keri;

Dear Coach,
Welcome back! I hope you both had a great trip and I must say you two truly are warriors for making such a long trip and still mustering up the energy to host another fantastic session tonight! Your dedication is admirable!
Luke is out of town working on a renewable energy project in Boulder, CO., and I am recovering from a digger I took on the trail this morning while running with our dogs. I have bandages across both knees and rock rash on both of my palms, however running with the dogs is well worth it!
Hopefully we can join you next week! Have a great evening,
Kerri & Luke

Well, Yogini Keri,
when i taught you a “down dog” i did not mean it like that!
😉
so,
did you land on the Inhale or the Exhale?!
Heal up fast! we will see you ‘on the mat’ again soon!
i love my High Performance Yoga� warriors! We may not be able to do all the fancy poses like the ‘studio yogis’ however,
you can sure bet we will not limit our Yoga to a yoga mat or indoors! Not this Tribe! We apply our Yoga Practice everywhere; running, cycling, in the gym, you name it baby; THAT is multi-disciplined yoga…THAT is HIGH PERFORMANCE YOGA!

Next Wednesday is DharmaTime!
{a Real “Q and A”…WF Teachers Quentin and Ananda evidently deeply engrossed in some form of DharmaTalk?…photo by Ron Jones in LA last week}
next Wednesday will be a shorter class; a little over an hour then Ananda and i will use the rest of the time to answer any questions you might be wanting ask on the Practice and/or Philosophy of Yoga, fitness, meditation, etc. When i first began taking Yoga classes, i always wished the Teacher would set aside time to answer questions every now and then. It is not appropriate -nor Traditional – for Students or us Teachers to talk too much after an asana class. Doing so reveals much immaturity about the Science of Asana and is actually harmful (thus a violation of the first Yama – ahmisa or non violence) to the mental, energetic and physical synthesis following a well constructed asana class and Final Relaxation. So, about once every couple of months i like to shorten one class time to do some DharmaTalkin’….so, next Wednesday come to class with at least one really good question that you have been carrying around with you…
finally,
it is about time to hold a SUNRIDER� Herb meeting…it’s time for you all to enjoy getting to know the World Class herbs that i have used for the past 21 years personally and professionally with absolutely astounding success for Fat Loss, Cell Clarity, and Cell Empowerment…not to mention elite Sport Performance. I will show you the basic herbs out of my personal stock and the method involved in my unique 3-Phase Approach that i mention in my latest book; Total Body Training. This Meeting will be about an hour long and is something that you will want to bring ANYONE who truly wants to lose fat, get lean, and completely set up the internal energetics of their body/mind and spiritual power. Ananda and i are thinking about holding this “Secret Herb Meeting” on a Sunday afternoon around 4 pm…let me know if you think that is workable time/day for you. SUNRIDER herbs are definitely the ideal yogi food.
time to step it up another notch along (y)our Sacred Journey…
i bow to you from beneath the Sacred Mountain,
