If you enjoy or appreciate ANYTHING about Wholistic Fitness™…it’s because of this Lady…my m(om). i took this shot of Her a few years ago when i lived in Flagstaff…this is Lockett Meadow, near the Inner Basin of the San Francisco Peaks…the home of Doko Oosliid, the Sacred Peak under which my daughter Dewachen was born. Today, my m(om) lies in an ABQ hospital. If you could, please recite the Blessed Mantra while visualizing this picture of my m(om). note the rainbow aura…
Namaste Noble Mountain Yogis! enjoy and may all your Sweat be Sacred… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAtAyoZl4Is head bowed, coach ilg
Your Feeble Mountain Yogi Ilg, sky high today on my most Sacred Sweat of all my Durango workouts; my infamous “Mordarbacken”…which is now part of the nordic skate skiing ultra: Tour de Ski coming up on my Race Schedule on January 22. Behind me is the radiance of my chi-ldhood Sacred Mountains; the La Plata’s caught here in my pic beaming their namesake silver aura.
I actually have not been able to ski this old traditional nordic skate skiing torture/bliss fest which i called, The Mordarbacken, since I was in my twenties! You can only imagine how stoked I was to revisit this old Ilg Standard which repulsed all my training partners who were able to finish it with me (only 2 out of 5 did!). This workout requires 2 hours of uphill ski skating at elevations starting at 8,793′ and finishes at about 11,213′ upon the base of Grayrock Peak (12,604′) which you’ll see in my 11 photos below (watch my YouTube Channel for a music video of this route).
2 hours up of skate skiing…followed by a scintillating, jump-filled descent on tiny edgeless skate skis in 32 minutes…most of which need to be spent in Chair Pose (Utkatasana)…you wanna come with me? Sure…you’re gonna have a challenge figuring out however, which of the photos to use as your new ScreenSaver…reader beware!
if you add electrolytes and flavour to water, you’re likely to drink 90% more vs. plain water which is good

It’s a funny thing, ain’t it?
You and i Here Now, again?
Beginning Again and Again, and Endlessly Again until Enlightenment?
According to the Ancient Enlightened Ones? You and i have been attracted toward one another for lifetimes – not unlike the way Moth Beings are attracted indiscriminately toward the Light…at whatever the cost.
According to the Ancient Enlightened Ones, you and i – at whatever Level – have reConnected in this particular Dharma Vehicle known as the Internet, due to our past karma.
We still – you and i – have Work to do.
The work we have to do? Is Wholeness. And, there are 3 pivotal aspects that we need to recognize about our continual Journey Higher.
The most common question ilg gets asked by those New to my Path is typical; “How soon can I expect results?”
Here are the Three Wholistic Realizations Which Must Flower In Your Heart:
As promised, here’s a free streaming version of my new Medium Form™ video. You might still want to order the DVD so you can play it on a DVD player, and it also makes an IDEAL Gift for that athlete or friend you know that is too “scared” of yoga, but needs flexibility and stress reduction!
You know what the difference is between a peleton and a Sangha? The former attempts to crush and isolate you, the latter nourishes and elevates you. That is precisely what you do for me: you nourish me sooooo much Higher than any physical food could possibly, and you elevate my Practice, inspired by your desire Higher.
When we have prayed and aspired and hungered for the truth for a long time, for many, many lives, and when our karma has become sufficiently purified, a kind of miracle takes place….
