Student Quote Of The Week: Coach, I am hardly worthy to bow to your wisdom, knowledge and energy, but I do so. Decades ago, I was a member of your Tribe and would join again, if permitted to do so. I remember reading your first book and it totally blew me away. I was […]
Since upping my dose to 5-7 per day my weight has reduced, my endurance increased, and most importantly the soreness has left my body! I am within 7 pounds of my playing weight and should be there by the end of the year. Many thanks to you and the Dr. for your always sage advice….head bowed, PG
a key ingredient to the success of my injury-liberating, wholeness-gathering Path of training has been the yogic principle of ‘Ahimsa’ or ‘do no harm’ to your body, mind, or spirit while training. many more body-oriented fitness systems bulldoze the American public with their version of the “The Next Big Thing,” for personal fitness, leaving behind them a wake of non-Awakened, injured warriors. Realistically? One must honor the spiritual, mental, chemical, hormonal, and neural energetics first and foremost if you’re still gonna be cranking your fitness into your final chapters of your Sacred Journey called life….below, i answer a young Seeker’s question about my integration (or lack thereof?) of Kettle Bells into Wholistic Fitness®.

Dear Coach Ilg,
My name is James Carpenter. Ten years ago, I bought your book Total Body Transformation when I was 16 years old. At that time, I wasn’t ready for such a sophisticated program, so the book sat on my shelf until last year. I’ve been following the programs in the book, and it’s been very rich and rewarding.
It’s a little funny because…
newly minted HP Yoga® Teacher, Jackie “Gamhé” Boudreau is already gaining a big class following…and more importantly; she is carrying the WF Torch igniting Transformation quickly among her students.
“Most Loved and Honorable Steve Ilg,

LOVE
LOVE
LOVE
thee!!!”
“I just want to thank you for your gifts of knowledge, experience and heart you share with others. Logan does not tend to look up to this person or that but that he expressed to me that if he had a hero to look up to, it would be you…”
