Also known to us Northern Tribal Warriors as, “The Full Crust Moon” now radiant in Father Sky – is a not only a surging of spring energy, it also marks the beginning of at least one month of fantastic ‘crust skiing’ whereupon we nordic skaters can glide endlessly at mach speeds across a frozen canvas of withering snows…each undulation of Mother Earth’s hide creates BMX type of rolls and jumps! What SACRED FUN! Ilg so pities the sport-specific athletes who remain numb to the ever dancing glow of wholistic sport endeavor! Since yogis are a Solar-Lunar Tribe, here is more on March’s Full Moon:
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…
quite frankly, i was surprised by all the Love Missives sailed this way from y’all when i announced that my Beloved Ananda was going to do a Triathlon in April…her first as a mommy and her first ever triathlon for that matter at age 44…
this is more than my boss…
this is my dharma brother, baby!
over the past year of teaching HP Yoga™ at Chris Wherry’s training facility here in Durango, Chris has only missed 2 classes…feeble ilg is HONORED to Serve for Noble National Champion, CW!
Our second 2011 Kiva Talk for WF Members explored the second Noble Fitness Discipline of WF: Cardio Training! If you missed the call, you can listen to the recording here.
There is a saying…”Judge not a Teacher save by the nobility of his or her Students…” Ready to be inspired once again by one of your fellow Wholistic Fitness™ Warriors? Maybe next February, YOU could do what it takes to yogi squat on the summit of this Sacred Pilgrimage of Wholistic Fitness™…. WF Shishya PY halfway through her recent solo 75-kilometer, 4-sport Sacred Pilgrimage at the one and only; Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon…here is her own Race Report…buckle up! photo courtesy of Julie “PY” Mueller. Coming up next; my own Race Report!
i received SOOOOO much more than the admittedly high effort i put in to produce Durango’s first annual snowshoe race, the Winter Warrior 10k which took place today under the most unbelievably, jaw-dropping, sattvic conditions any new Race Director could have dreamed.
…skiing first into the Start/Finish area where i had to answer two mandatory Trivia Questions…i got one, failed the next. off to the Penalty Loop area. During the Penalty ski, i crushed the Loop reflecting back on consecutive Teacher Report Card inputs from my chi-ldhood which ALWAYS – for years – expressed the same observation:
“Steven is a very bright child. He consistently demonstrates a remarkably agile and creative mind yet is failing because he is simply not applying himself to the lessons.”
