Has the “World’s Fastest Yogi” (see the next upcoming DL) fallen prey to the toxicity of living and training in LA for a decade? in LA, my Bicycle Commute to teach my yoga class ranged between 24 and 17 miles along such crazy streets as Ventura, Sepulveda, and Westwood Boulevards. talk about getting AGGRO on the bike just trying to stay friggin’ ALIVE…then needing to ‘switch gears’ and become a nice, calm Yoga Teacher in the blink of an eye! i just wanted to make sure i was doing my best Effort to live the Warrior Life of a genuine yogi! now, my lungs may be paying a high price for all those Noble Miles and gallons of gas i saved! Oh Well…the spiritual MERIT is still all mine! whenever we make Noble Effort to rise higher than our lazy tendencies, the spiritual merit is never, ever lost! in this, the WF Yogi trusts. above photo; my lil’ 6-mile commute to my Flagstaff Yoga Class is a paltry yet deeeeeeply more calming version of my former Cardio Commutes! the Bike Being i am on is the grand ol’ steed; Nanisimo – my Duran custom-built MTB from the eighties still going strong and full of chi!

COACH RESPONDS
– cranking a Cardio Commute on a Mt. Elden Trail, just across the street from the WF Temple H(om)e…what’s not to Love about the WF Lifestyle? –
Most Cherished PD!
thank you for your concern. this morning i rode up Elden to the Catwalk (7 miles & 2,000′) in about 53 minutes, mostly in High Zone 2/Low Zone 3. lungs felt fine until i stopped up top to admire the Painted Desert/Wupatki “top of the world” view…
as i told you on our ride the other day, i do feel my lungs getting progressively stronger and less ‘wheezy.’ a dramatic upshift occurred immediately following two factors:
1) my pilgrimage to Amma and receiving Her darshan,
and
2) 4-8 caps of CONCO* per day.
coincidence or not?
as your Link implies, our Father Sky has become so filthy these days and our Species has allowed our Immunology to drop to such lame levels that i am certain more and more ‘allergic’ and other respiratory ‘illnesses’ will continue to increase. i truly feel that my lungs would have been just fine if i was not “sent” to LA for a decade. while there, i trained an average of 12.5+ hours weekly outside and maintained a high Warrior Level of Cardio Commuting in the schmucky air of the Grande Pueblo.
i love the last line of the article in your Link.
that says it all, right bro?
head bowed and let’s ride this weekend!
