THANK YOU FOR YOUR THANKS-GIVING!

S(om)etimes, Vishnu just works His beauty through feeble ilg’s camera in Ways that i just GOTTA share it with my Precious Sangha…got this shot at last night’s CycleCross race in Durango, about a stone’s throw away from my casa…
sure…
ilg may have done what it took to uphill ski 2,250′ in 60 minutes only to descend in 15 minutes this morning upon the Brahmanically Graced snows this morning…yet dat ain’t the ‘Thing”…here is the REAL…the WHOLISTIC thing…
a lot of the times, when the warrior sadhaka (spiritual aspirant) comes to grips with Vairagya (non-passion/non attachment) they mistakenly think that it is necessary to kill desire…on the contrary, ilg is coaching you not to kill them, not to quell them; however, we must make our desires and Attachments go the Divine Way.
that is all…keep it simple, sweat often, sit still more than you sweat,
and all-Ways stay tuned to this Channel…
keeping you centered, strong, supple, and full of spirit since 1982…
head bowed….
coach ilg
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

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.
