FEARLESS YOGA=WF * YOGATOES; AUTUMN STYLE * RESENTMENT=ANGER * DANCING SPINE, FLUID ROCKS

ANOTHER UNIQUELY COACH ILG IDEA; YOGINJINJITOES!

i don’t know about where you live, however, up here at over 7,000′, the nights are already growing cold. Early morning meditations stun barefeet, yet we would never want to stop wearing our treasured YogaToes, right? All right, then Oh Overcomer of Duality, listen up. This fall and winter, why not combine two of my treasures into one Shining Jewel; YogaToes worn over Injinji socks! Yeah baby! Hey, you already know about the benefits of wearing Injinji socks as described in my DL of 7/2/05 {WF Sacred Workouts; Mt Humphreys} during an 87-minute ascent of a 12,633′ mountain. And, any DL Reader worth his or her sweat never goes a day without having their toes spread in YogaToes! Well, if you combine the two, you will be able to go ‘semi barefoot’ all autumn and winter! the YogaToes elevate a significant portion of your foot off of cold floors while the Injinji socks capitalize on the circulation work already being done by the YogaToes. The more chi to the feet the better for long term organ-ic health and fitness performance! Go ahead and order your YogaToes + Injinji socks today and allow your Practice to become more saturated with Chi-filled meridians! Just tell ’em ol’ Coach Ilg sent you!

UPCOMING in DL
(my first coaching priorities lie with my formal WF Online Students, then Sunrider Herbal Warriors, then DL entries, thank you for understanding):

a full report and input from our Chakra Stirring, Head Spinning, Heart Thumping WF Summer Immersion at Red Mountain Spa! Here is a shot of the gathered WF Warriors on the campus of Red Mountain Spa. Note the left background behind WF Most Precious Warrior Award Winner Vito (that’s him standing in the unmistakable “Jersey Tadasana” posture!)….see the lava fields quivering beneath the flaming red rocks as the simmering pranic ocean of Utah’s high desert permeates our cells? The next time i announce a WF Retreat, don’t THINK! just answer the Temple Gong and JUMP into what will certainly be an unmatched body/mind/spirit experience! Just ask these Warriors!

after i smashed my spine and pelvis to smithereens, i vowed that once i Self Healed, i would never, ever stop Dancing my Life…i don’t care how silly i may look, i am just gonna keep Dancing because i know what it is like to lie flat on a broken spine and not be able to move anything but the most important Vehicle of Self Healing; the Breath.

Now, i Dance up rocks, down ski slopes, on bicycles, skates, you name it, i will Dance it…because WHOLISTIC FITNESS training Gifts us the most amazing capacity to DANCE the Physiologic Spectrum; Endurance, Strength, Suppleness, and Stillness. The Great Connecting Link to the Dance of (y)our Life? That’s Right, the Breath! Where there is Breath, there is Pran. Coming up in DL, i will finish my 3 Part Series on Pranayam, focusing on Nauli; the great Purifier and, take you along with Ananda and i as we CRANK sport climbing routes in the most amazing climbing park i have ever seen; Crawdad Canyon, Utah! Above, i clip a bolt enroute to another flash of a sport route. This one was called, “SuperFly”…you can see why! You gotta BECOME a SuperFly if you don’t want to fall off this one!

“Watching Coach climb so gracefully yet powerfully up these routes, was like watching a ballet,” WF Teacher and Coach Ilg climbing partner, Ananda, who also broke through her Fear and climbed a 5.8+ route called, “Corrupting The Natives,” in Crawdad Canyon.

You want GENUINE, FEARLESS WARRIOR YOGA?
On the podium of bike races one weekend, cranking Basalt sport climbs the next…
i work hard on myself each day to walk my walk so i can talk my talk over the past quarter century…
i work so hard on my own personal Practice so i can ask you this question from a stance of solidarity:
i ask you, Oh Noble Warrior;
Of what g(o)od is our Yoga if we don’t challenge our Edge ACROSS the fitness spectrum?
No g(o)od!
Get out and CRANK YOUR EDGE in as many Ways you can!
Life is too short to confine yoga to a damned sticky mat!
The WF Warrior knows better; we know that our Highest Asana Edge, that Edge that will more adequately prepare us for the Bardo is found by dancing our limits in cardio, strength, suppleness, meditation, and nutrition!

Long Live America’s Indigenous Form of Yoga; WHOLISTIC FITNESS!

we’ve been so far out in front of the mainstream for so long,
we just wish this much:

May all beings be Fearless, Brave, and Compassionate in their Practice of personal fitness.

namaste and may this Gift of DL inspire and empower!
