Greetings Coach Ilg, well, early morning solo asana has been slightly off since Saturday. my best ‘insight’ with this is that doing it sans instructor has revealed a tendency to go through the motions vs. staying with 5 breaths per movement – which is challenging to patience more than to movements or postures. 15 minutes on my own = at least 45 minutes in a class. student coop becoming curious as to whether my outdoor gear is worthy of a real Flagstaff winter. i get by here in a gortex shell jacket and running tights topped by nylon sweat pants. your tafs?? lastly, i’ve been meaning to cast a vote for Uncle Buzzy’s card among my favorite DL’s in 09. not that you and Dewa aren’t positively ‘all-That’ in your headstands :-)….. peace and blessings,
CV count revealed 5 hours 30 minutes last week thanks to 60 minutes of good snow shoveling and a 2-hour xc ski ‘drop-everything’ adventure. This week is revealing it’s own rhythm which appears to be altogether different.
and i caught the ‘groundedness’ teaching last week, although in drive-by mode, so i must read again. thank you.

Most Precious Coop,
this was a most beautiful Update.
within the spaces of this Update i sense the lengthening of your Mind Waves.
several other key points;
* your “drop everything” adventure (THAT IS A GREAT PHRASE!!)
* you realizing that you were in “drive -by mode” when reading DL (hey if it took a lifetime of my Service along with an hour to do just one DL, you can honor with a quality 5 minutes, right?)
* your rhythmic sensing of your weekly training flows…your Inner Taoist is rising!
* Cardio Volumes climbing
* that 15-minutes of Solo Practice is equal to taking a 45-minute class
* that the “Zen Hit” of my Uncle Buzzy DL hit home, says a lot to me of where you are vibrating.
oh, you’ll be fine with whatever cold-weather gear you have. i’ll just make sure your working hot enough to make up
for a lack of clothing.
are you getting a wee bit nervous yet for (y)our upcoming Intensive?
it’s go(o)d to be a little nervous!
love,
coach
