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…
Women will be allowed to compete in (even writing that sounds weirdly wrong!) in Nordic Ski Jumping at the 2014 Winter Olmpics in Russia…go(o)d thing Dewachen is already in training! Now, it’s time to…
Dharma sign, downtown Durango, this morning.
ilg was able to manage 21 Cardio Commutes last month between walking, jogging, or cycling some of my errands. How ’bout you? Live like a tree, not like a fire.

This is exactly what a Private Intensive with me is supposed to do – take you into the real texture of a chi-full life…Shishya IC, straight from NYC to Durango for three days; one of which he spent with me. The other two days he spent wisely: chillin’ within the Pranic Potency of Durango as to increase his acclaimed musicianship! i cannot express how important it is for ALL WF fans and students to sign up for at least one WF Private Intensive per year…even if you do a WF Half-Day Training Camps with me and just do like Student IC did and hang in the absolute wonder-land of my hOMetown; your Practice will deepen by lifetimes…as IC found out last Saturday…c’mon…i’ll give you a few snapshots of IC’s Intensive which included snowshoeing, meditation, yoga, and Dharmic Transmission all along the way…
Recently, Coach offered a free “Blessed Mala Re-Empowerment” during the Full Crow Moon…
WF Online Student Monty Mason…below is his actual Training Cycle Update from last week’s practice…it’ll bring a smile to your heart, i am sure…so you can imagine what it did to my – his coach’s – heart! There ain’t nothing like WF, and there sure as hell ain’t NOTHING like a Wholistic Fitness Online Student! This May, Monty, who lives in Arkansas, is going to Take Pilgrimage to Durango to check off one of the three Wholistic Fitness™ Sacred Sweat Pilgrimages; The Iron Horse Bicycle Classic!
Ananda’s knee; after a botched surgery job decades ago after injuring her knee while dancing onstage, her knee is still vulnerable to swelling after outdoor activities, yet has grown consistently stronger and is regenerating in spite of nearly a bone-on-bone situation when i first met her and began her on the Wholistic Fitness™ Healing Path…
