“What the world needs more than anything is bodhisattvas, active servants of peace, “clothed,” as Longchenpa said, “in the armor of perseverance,” dedicated to their bodhisattva vision and to the spreading of wisdom into all reaches of our experience. We need bodhisattva lawyers, bodhisattva artists and politicians, bodhisattva doctors and economists, bodhisattva teachers and scientists, bodhisattva technicians and engineers, bodhisattvas everywhere, working consciously as channels of compassion and wisdom at every level and in every situation of society; working to transform their minds and actions and those of others, working tirelessly in the certain knowledge of the support of the buddhas and enlightened beings for the preservation of our world and for a more merciful future.”
– Sogyal Rinpoche

“What the world needs more than anything is for her Two-Legged’s to pay attention to and cultivate their Conscious Breath and Posture. WF Lifestyle Principle #1; Breath and Posture. This first, most pivotal Lifestyle Principle of my work can also be Seen as “Pranayama and Asana”. That is, the WF Yogi’s numero uno duty is to Breathe Consciously throughout their day and to find a “comfortable seat” – which is what ‘asana’ means – within the dynamic circumstances of their day.”

#2) Coach stops during a recent mountain trail run to take advantage of some pretty potent alpine Prana to crank off a quick “Pranayama Appetizer.” Just stopping during our busy days to simply breathe consciously seems to have become very Elite Yogic demeanor during Kali Yuga! WF is one of the few styles of yoga that prioritize Pranayama; just like the Ancient Enlightened Masters instructed. Funny how so many new yoga “Teachers” and their students are not willing to follow the Ancient Path. Our very FIRST Guideline in our humble, Powerful Path is “Breath and Posture,” for where there is no conscious breath (prana/apana) there is no life!
