this morning after an extended EMR supervision/training with myself, WF Master Student Alan “L’Gate” Ludgate then paced Ananda during a 4-mile run for her triathlon coming up next weekend…then, it was a homemade WF brunch with an Asea introduction, followed by renting some alpine skis for Day Two, then a Strength Training Session with myself, and finally a Yin Yoga Class with Ananda at YogaDurango to close out his Day One…oh, and all this came AFTER MS.L’Gate took my HP Yoga™ PROP WORKOUT with 16 hard core Durango HP Yogis in the Sacred Cave of Champions on Monday night…let me tell you, there ain’t NUTHIN’ on this plane(t) like a WF Master Student! enjoy the pics and texts that follow and be sure to schedule YOUR WF Private Intensive!
note the use of the WF ‘Pistol Mudra’ and L’Gate’s impeccable alignment in his running form…many of you Devotee’s will recall that L’Gate did the 2009 Imogene Pass Race with me…one of the 3 Sacred Sweat Pilgrimages of which all devoted WF Students should aspire to complete before the end of their present incarnation. Next up for L’Gate is to toe the start line of the Iron Horse Bicycle Race…perhaps next year.
after running 3.5 miles, i had Ananda and L’Gate run 5 sets of stairs before cooling down on the final half-mile home…
L’Gate was here to witness Dewachen’s first ever fully committed scooter ride…let me tell you, that look of fierce determination and set jaw quite frankly frighten’s me…i know all too well what wild life adventures will this woman experience and quite opposite of my personal extreme adventure accomplishments, i’m a scared father of what might happen to her as she must learn the tough lessons of adventure sports…oh well…here we go!
L’Gate’s feet…wearing Ananda’s sandals…never mind…no comment…
Dewachen and Master Student L’Gate…one of the many Great Blessings inherent to our daughters’ life is the fact that we have a steady stream of utterly precious and giving yoga students and masters through our life. Dewachen sips from each one with a shocking degree of heartfelt appreciation…here, L’Gate presents Dewa with a book which he brought to her from NYC…
the title of this great book is, “Zen Shorts”…note the auspicious reflection of Dewa in the books cover…
in the Iron Temple baby! approaching my 2nd Ku Bottom during a set of 3xMantra w/ Ku Bottom Form Technique…
uh, there STILL ain’t NUTHING like WF Strength Training on the planet!
Here is L’Gate, crankin’ through some Alternating Front DB Raises utilizing the WF Swan Medicine Technique!
oh, and what workout would be complete without at least a Noble Effort at some One Legged Squats!?!?!
or, of a mantra-made salad at day’s end?!
Day Two tomorrow…
