i snatched this shot of tonights’ Full Strawberry Moon which immediately reMinds feeble yogi ilg of the drastically short and tragically fragile harvesting season of these high altitudes and of the 10,000 lives that we Human Beings have learned to learn, respect, overc(om)e all which has brought us – you and i – together, Here Now…

Perhaps the most redeeming quality that can be associated with this incarnation known as ‘ilg’ is that which has been undeniably attuned with Sacred Appreciation to the whirring symphony of hummingbirds, aspens quaking, and splashes of trout surfacing through snowmelt waters…
Warrior Coach and Birthday Boy Ilg this morning…HP Yoga and WF Students once again covered the podiums and new PR’s on Day 2 of 3 of the Sacred Sweat Pilgrimage #2; the IHBC…
THANK Y’ALL for ALL THE AMAZINGLY METTA-FILLED BIRTHDAY SENDS!!!! feeble ilg has the MIGHTIEST HEARTED Students and Friends on this Plane(t)! THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!!!!
Professionally however, ilg enjoyed an awesome day with at least 6 of my athletes/yoga students getting PR’s…even in the wind! i had at least 3 students place in the top ten of their races!

of such amazing Students as Thee:
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.
