Another priceless m(om)ent from my Early Morning Practice this morning…before heading out into a 2 hour+ mountain trot among the summer splendor of Durango…the juxtaposition of softness (yoga/meditation/pranayama) with concussion (mountain running) is a sweet/sweat dance which has ignited my inner life for well over 35 years; it’s what Wholistic Fitness™ is all about.

don’t tell me you ain’t got your WF “Wholy Sweat” sticker, yet?!? comes free with all orders from the WF Pro Shop!

Hey Coach,
I’m a long time fan…I know your yoga classes are legendary for being tough so I want to “ease” into it if you know what I mean…which are harder, your Monday or Wednesday classes?
