where else but Durango?!??!
make sure you bookmark this precious WF-inspired ripple in our collective cosmic ocean each day for more gifts, more healing, and a whole ton of Transformation seeped with WF spirit and ritual…
“Every time we step into the gym we strengthen more than mere flesh…we strengthen our our mental focus, emotional intelligence, our dreams, and our spirit.”
– coach steve, THE WINTER ATHLETE (1999, Johnson Books).
Beginning where i left off last winter; On The Podium, baby! 4th Overall fastest time plus a Silver Medal (AG) on a course that was dirt 24 hours earlier! Can’t say enough about the Durango Nordic Center’s snow and race crew! Also can’t give enough thanks for Wholistic Fitness® for this early season podium! Sunrider Secret Herbs, MAP Aminos, and Asea Sacred Water…and of course, HP Yoga®, especially the priceless HP PROP Workouts®! Thanks to my faithful sponsors; Fischer, Swix, and Tailwind!
The Route toward Transmitting Awareness of the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth is understood easily by our Chi-ldren if we, as parents/guardians, LIVE in Wholistic Awareness.

Unless you are a Wholistic Fitness® student/yogi, you probably brushed your teeth this morning, with what, uh, let ilg guess…your DOMINATE HAND. Why? Because it was easy. It is your HABIT. Whatever HABITS you hold? Keep yours spiritual self asleep. For instance, let’s say
Precious Student J; “I went to the store and bought a pair of pants. I went from x large to medium. Now that was fun! See you in the (Practice) cave!”
Most teachings are for Wholistic Fitness Members only. Some are complimentary.
These teachings are the "Rasas" or "sap" of Wholistic Fitness. You’ll find insights to ponder, student chi to keep your own chi topped off, and plenty of proven training techniques to test on your own body, mind, and spirit! Also, you’ll find my very popular Race Reports, and news of our Sangha’s (community’s) latest transpersonal fitness adventures!
You have access to thousands of posts going all the way back to 2002. The Archives makes for ideal Svadhyaya, and if you don’t know what that important term means ... all the more reason to dive into these amazing WF Scriptural Recordings!
Checking out one or two archived teachings every day or so is an AMAZINGLY EFFECTIVE way to stay connected with your Tribe AND maintain consistency and motivation in what matters most: your own practice.
Note: We'll be fixing broken image links, and cleaning up the categorization of archived posts, over time.
