it’s a simple formula that has worked for my whole life: Snow + Blue Sky x High Peaks = A Very Happy Ilg!
dat’s Algae-bra that ilg can stand-under! (aka; understand)
Noble Sangha,
just like the opening WF quiz in my latest book; TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATION, i create these things not from Mastery of being a 35-year student of this Path, rather, because feeble ilg remains perhaps the most feeblest STUDENT of his own Path…enjoy…and most importantly; may your Practice Benefit! tell me how you did!
i’m accepting Openings for new students for WF Online Training at nirvanic levels if you reply to this Teaching within 24 hours…steve@wholisticfitness.com
head bowed,

Yet, as one after another 3% bodyfat human whippet in lycra roll up next to me, the puckering returns….
within seconds of my posting of my Pumpkin Teaching, my most Precious Master Student of WF; PY fired me this pic with all the velocity inherent to a Vajarapani dharmic arrow…

How far are we going to take this?
The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution,
the depth of faith, to go as far as needed?
The Boondock Saints
after a morning of chopping wood, cranking Mantra, i had to lower the testosterone inherent to operating such things as chain saws, 8lb Colton Splitting Axes, sledges and a half-cord of wild wood to soften into being a bodyworker…so, into the Zendo i went and the subsequent transformation from Yang to Yin

Coach’s Teachings
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.
