“Our Workout is Everywhere,” coach steve ilg, 1982
Despite the fact that the entire place is run like some sort of aging Texan mafia, and that nearly every staff member is a walking heart attack just waiting to happen, they are also all deeply adoring of kids, family, and really, really good southern-style food. And, of course, all things Texan.
have you ever been sooo exhausted from such a fun and fitness-filled family vacation that you need ANOTHER vacation just to recover?!? just back from an AMAZINGLY BLESSED 5 days of scintillating Southwest Wholistic Fitness Family fun…full story plus Dharma c(om)ing only to Members at: www.WholisticFitness.com
I suppose it’s the sanest part of me that naturally gravitates toward these serrated skylines of granite, sandstone and sun-splintered early morning rapids and ripples. Perhaps the most redeeming quality that can be associated with this incarnation known as ‘ilg’ is that which has been undeniably attuned with Sacred Appreciation to the whirring symphony of hummingbirds, aspens quaking, and splashes of trout surfacing through snowmelt waters…
Congratulations Dewachen Catherine Ilg for performing soooo amazingly well at PreSchool! Having never been to DayCare and with only a handful of babysitting hours in your life, you really stepped up BIG TIME to your first school year (even if it was only 3 half-days per week!)…
Today – amazingly enough – marks the one-week out from perhaps my most special of all my three Sacred Sweat Pilgrimages of WF; the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic…at age 50 (which i turn during the 3-Day Race) ilg can BARELY BELIEVE how long, how treasured, how spiritually scintillating my humble, sweat-contingent life has been and thus remains…enjoy, be inspired…cuz, truly, your feeble coach really, really digs deep into every physiologic and psychologic realm to bring forth for you what remains the most unique, effective Path of Self Transformation through personal fitness that has c(om)e to grace Kali Yuga…Blessed Be All…
remember the touch of your Daddy’s strong hand upon you when you were 4? the comfort? the Release into the Realization that you are Unconditionally Loved?!?
