My breath saw snow cap mountains and loved the clear crisp air. I could hear Coach who is nearby saying “hold and hover here for a moment, your body will thank you”…
…why are mine the only ski tracks now poised in splendid juxtaposition
with the forlorn, empty, entropic lifts?
what happens to the brash and verve of the young

long time WF Devotee Brad Nichols of Denver, Colorado solved the Test Challenge on my Facebook page this morning correctly answering…

Noble Sangha,
here is my letter to Nick at OUTSIDE Magazine who probably was not even born yet when my May, 1992 cover feature hit the newstands… ilg says it’s about time to revisit that feature which singlehandedly transformed not only the lives of many outdoor athletes, yet also Shifted the entire outdoor fitness community to embrace a more spiritual approach to training…please, write a letter to the Editor of OUTSIDE MAGAZINE at: nick@nickheil.com
and tell him; WE WANT ILG ON THE COVER FOR A 20th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE!
okay, be the first to ID the route name of this cover shot of my first book and take your pick of any one of my DVD’s!!! go!
I was just revisiting TOA this evening and remembered this is where the Wholistic Fitness life started for me.
Dog eared and all rumpled up its hands down my favorite book in the world 😉
Conscious Parenting…
1) Let Go Of Everything (you want)
2) Drop Into Everything (she wants)
3) Know that you are burning off selfish Karma by losing money, losing sense of (egoic) self, losing your mind, losing every-thing, while gaining that which is most imperative: another Soul’s nurturing by your devoted Presence…no matter what…

Coach’s Teachings
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.
