Those of you that live in Durango and take our weekly HP Yoga™ classes, you already know that we begin our practice with a recitation of this most ancient of prayers which all Buddha’s of the past have reportedly prayed. By doing so, we connect ourselves with that astonishingly relevant Tribe of Awakened Spiritual Athletes which goes back in time for eons.
Coach Ilg is the nation’s leading affiliate for MAP Amino Acids…”Attaining and maintaining a positive nitrogen balance is a pivotal part of my success and that hundreds of my students. MAP Amino Acid Pattern is ideal for yogis who want to cut out or cut down on flesh eating, and it’s pretty much vital for […]

i severely sprained both the medial and lateral connective tissues of my right knee.
that was two weeks ago.
since then; i’ve finished on the AG Podium in a 10k Classic nordic ski race, rode my road bicycle for 120 kilometers, nordic skied for 60 kilometers, and
alpine skied twice. not bad for a severely sprained knee at nearly age 50, eh? when i use the term Regenerative Whole Food Herbal Nutrition to describe SUNRIDER™ Herbs and that the MAP Amino Acids are ‘invaluable to anyone’…
i ain’t just pulling your leg!
here is what i used:
Warriorship is about being brave enough (read; fearless) to be gut honest with ourselves every step of the Way. When our own mOM is encountering a possible Bardo Entry, it’s a pretty interesting Mirror in which to watch our mind, our ego, and our emotional waves. The egoic default system in place seems unflappably fastened to our Being; “Oh, poor me…having to clean up this diarrhea again when i could be out riding my bike or skiing or doing asana…” How many seconds, minutes, hours, days, lifetimes does it take before our Higher Self rises above the ego and emotions to herald, “This IS your yoga! This IS your Practice…so PRACTICE!”
From My DharmaTalk With Former WF and HP Yoga Teacher Q: “The sincere spiritual journey can be, and often is, a very precarious thing. For many reasons this is so. I will share one now. As my shadow was uncovered and my practice began to reveal the deep hidden things I tried so hard to hide. Tried so hard to run from. It can turn things upside down. What was up seems down and down is up, and what felt like love seems like hate, and vice versa. The illusions are powerful. So real. So captivating. It broke me. Broke me completely. I lost my whole life. I spat at all that was God, I hated all that was WF. And when my hate was sincere enough, when I was willing to die rather than hide from it any longer….she changed. What was Hate/Love became ONE…”
honestly however, me toeing the Start Line tomorrow? has helped in unspeakably potent ways to heal my knee. see; let me tell you a Secret of Mountaineering, Sport Performance, Overcoming Weakness/Imbalance, Conquering Dis-ease and Injury, and last however, not least, Chi-ld Rearing: ALWAYS MOVE IN THE DIRECTION YOU WANT TO GO.
if you had seen my right knee one and a half weeks ago, here is what you…well, actually perhaps not YOU being a WF devotee…however, here is what many would have (and many did) say:
