pic; ilg on the sharp end, being belayed by Dewachen Ilg…technical climbing has not only been a lifelong passion, it and Nordic Skiing has apparently doubled in sacredness with my now-adult daughter still sharing outdoor athlete adventures of world class levels alongside her (very) ol’ man… ilg has always embraced training indoors for all my […]
To BE is Sacred… to LIVE is Holy… special gratitude to former Wholistic Fitness® and amazing HS Running Coach; Joseph Sheader for that quote which he sent to ilg in Spanish! LOVE IT! @steveilg #steveilgswholisticfitness #steveilgyoutube #seniorfitness #sanjuanmountains @SanSan ♬ original sound – Zoya Nature is all-Ways perfect… these Columbine Beings – even […]
Conscious Parenting Skills: by the time she turned age 7? feeble ilg had taught Dewa precisely how to bait, lure, tie knots, fix reels, tantalize Fish Beings, set the hook, reel Them in while reciting Mantra, judge if they were too small to keep, how to release a Trout Being with as little harm as […]
The Perma Grin has not yet left feeble ilg’s old and well weathered (some may say leathered) face since my daughter clipped the final anchor of ‘Pork Sushi’… a 5.10A technical rock climbing route on one of ilgs fav childhood Dakota sandstone pinnacles nestled within the now famous Sailing Hawks bouldering (and mountain biking) […]
the Aurora Borealis effect seen over my h(om)etown and still wild and sacred Animas River last night – comment below if you know how far away from where you live is the nearest wild river (a river that has zero man made dams along its entire length) and how far away it is from […]
Each Spring at my trail work kingdom (aka; Edgemont Highlands…kinda like the Beverly Hills hovering over the relative paupers of Durango) over which feeble ilg reigns solo Chief Trail Director/Worker there arrives what ilg has termed, “Dumpster Season”… a 2-week period within which the rich (and often snippety) residents of Edgemont Highlands are graced […]
Pic of ilg, ‘thumbless pull-ups’; TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATION (Hyperion/Disney, 2004) by Steve Ilg. Might still have the “thumbless pull up world record” with 48 consecutive ones?! Who’s keeping track of these absolutely meaningless records except for the warrior performing them? the day started off just fine, really it did… woke up before dawn […]
Life and Sacred Sweat on the TomTom Trail… got the entire south loop done (except hauling away trail debris – miss those Durango Trail interns at my new position! lol). Lmk what you think… what was YOUR Highest Easter Service M(om)ent, today?
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.
