i was feeling a little punky about doing a Club Ride this morning…you know, it’s a typical April day in Durango; cold, windy, spitting rain/snow…then, outdoor athlete extraordinaire (Durango is chock full of them!) and devoted HP Yogi Mark Rosenthal sent me the story below…May it also inspire you to keep your Practice strong today…
come experience what a Day One of a WF Private Intensive with me right here in Durango is like as i and Ananda enjoy our time with WF Master Student Allan Ludgate today….Meditation, Yoga, Cardio, ST, and Nutrition personally supervised by the creator and founder of Wholistic Fitness™
i took this shot after picking up Ananda just south of Baker’s Bridge a few days ago after she did some triathlon training. as a family, we then threw sticks into a creek, watched Wapiti Beings relax into a sunset, and just enjoy other basic family necessities. such sweetness in the moment is the Blessed Common Denominator to living in Durango…
whenever i get feeling like i want to blow off difficulty; be it holding a yoga pose, holding a wheel in front of me during cycling, holding my tongue during a difficult relationship moment, holding the choice between entertainment and inner-attainment? you know what what i force myself to consider?

friday was the last day i could ski at Purg on my weekday-only season pass…
What better way to end my formal ski season than to take a Last Dance upon those shimmering slopes with my precious daughter, our Rinpoche Dewachen? so, we did…just Daddy and Daughter…cranking the last few turns of a Heaven of a season…here are a few Heart Hits, both photographically and in verse of what felt to me to be a space and a time far suspended above the the comings and goings of the outer world…enjoy…
