For WF.com Members only…my latest release from HP Yoga™; The Wing’d Angel Sequence
“It takes the utmost seriousness of intent to realize Self. I guess that’s why they call it mastery. Allow the energy in the hips to flow down through the legs and out the feet. The grounding is necessary for openings in other parts of the system. Or, just in this moment, you could fully drop into the heart and face death. What kind of fears does that bring up??? This is really serious stuff!!!! I bow to you in your intent. This would not be happening if the time was not ripe. Where does your fruit lie???”

special thanks to HP Yogi Wyatt Brown in Kinlani…this was such a hilarious Om So Ti since i received this on the same night of my Kiva Call to WF.com Members on Strength Training where i taught about how we in Wholistic Fitness™ use Mantra syllables instead of ‘counting reps’ in the ‘Iron Temple’!
Call begins at 6 pm MST tonight!
a smidgen of what will be covered in the FIRST of my Five Noble Fitness Disciplines; STRENGTH TRAINING!
PERIODIZATION: ST should not be year around; think Waves…
OWN THE MOVEMENT: Sport Specificity/Off-Season; let your sport take care of the specifics!
FAILURE OF ELEGANCE: only within failure is great victory!
LESS IS MORE: don’t increase wear and tear; pre-fatigue with WF Techniques!
MANTRA, NOT NUMBERS! counting reps is soooo conventionally stupid! does little for spiritual growth; Focused Prayer while under duress claim attention the Deities, angels, gods!
WHOLISTIC FITNESS™ Copyrighted Techniques: Learn the Stimulative and Recovery Dance of Yin/Yang Mastery!
NO ONE DOES THE IRON TEMPLE DANCE LIKE A WHOLISTIC FITNESS™ TRAINED YOGI!

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.
