if you’ve not yet gained the Appreciation by direct, repeated experience of deep, penetrating cold and know how to relax into it?
hate to tell you…yet you will react so negatively to the first wave of intense cold when you cannot take another inhale,
that the chances are quite likely that you will not re-incarnate as a human…yet something lower…
RACE DAY IS ONE MONTH OUT! in anticipatory celebration of my 3rd (and now National Qualifier!) Winter Warrior Snowshoe Race right here in my Beloved H(om)etown of Durango, my family and i invite you to our first-ever (because ‘inaugural’ is too hard to spell) Winter Warrior Campfire Snowshoe Workout (aka; WWCSW); this sunday evening at 5pm. […]
ASEA: the Sacred Water of WF…studies document over 17% increase in Ventilatory Threshold (dopers using steriods/blood transfusions hope for only a 8% increase) and a whopping 500% increase in immunity relative to at least two of our three major anti-oxidants…Recovery is off the charts and my students on ASEA across the board report deeper, higher sleep quality, recovery, and enhanced suppleness of body and ease of stress while on ASEA! give it 6 months and get back to me!

Dear Coach,
What do you tell a super obese 45 year old woman who wants to get lean and have super sculpted muscles by doing yoga? You are a yoga expert.
word on the snow is that National Cycling Champion, Howard Grotts is gunning to toe the Start Line of my Winter Warrior Snowshoe Race this Feb. 9th. in fact, he is coming to my Snowshoe Clinic this weekend, “to learn some technique”..that makes 2 National Champions, (Travis Brown, being the other) that realize the value of high intensity sport snowshoeing to their off-season cycling fitness by toeing my Start Line…how about you?
if any of you can tap into this, please do and let me know the highlights of what you learned…i have to teach yoga at that time,
otherwise, i’d be all over this!
for WF.com Members ONLY here is my choreography of what we did…you can mimic a similar class on your own, using it. note that in reverse direction (what else is new about ilg, right?) i hammered the students with 20+ minutes of wholistic core work in the style of HP Yoga® BEFORE spinning to pre-fatigue the core and THEN superimpose the 60-minute high intensity SPIN! this is old-school WF philosophy, and, trust me; it worked as well this morning as it did over 30 years ago!
here you go:
Most teachings are for Wholistic Fitness Members only. Some are complimentary.
