There is a saying…”Judge not a Teacher save by the nobility of his or her Students…” Ready to be inspired once again by one of your fellow Wholistic Fitness™ Warriors? Maybe next February, YOU could do what it takes to yogi squat on the summit of this Sacred Pilgrimage of Wholistic Fitness™…. WF Shishya PY halfway through her recent solo 75-kilometer, 4-sport Sacred Pilgrimage at the one and only; Mt. Taylor Winter Quadrathlon…here is her own Race Report…buckle up! photo courtesy of Julie “PY” Mueller. Coming up next; my own Race Report!
through the books, she has looked…(she has a Ph.D in Statistical Analysis or something like that)
to the Himalaya, she has sought.
within the fabric of her life, many Dragons she has fought.
she does not condemn, she does not judge.
she became my student of yoga in August of 2008 in Kinlani.
she got on MAP Aminos in March, of 2009.
one year later, she became my online shishya.
in October of ‘010, she took WF Pilgrimage to seek me out in Durango (see photo above).
Yesterday she wrote me: “did spin followed by a 2 mile treadmill run, then a set of nordic crunches/suspended leg lifts, followed by Medium form. then i went over to the pull up bar and did one PULL UP, palms out, from a dead hang. for real!”
i never allowed her near a Gravitron. i Instructed her to meet her Pull Up Dragon nakedly….with no gloves on…

It was Dewa who spotted this magnificent setting of Grandfather yesterday evening…Ananda was quick enough to capture it…given our Teachings this week, this photo reMinds ilg and Moves ilg to the understanding that just because we may not yell or scream or cuss or drink or whatever, doesn’t mean we don’t have Work to do with Anger…these clouds in Father Sky as we discussed this week reMind me that even passiveness equals anger…it’s just not acted out. the following five adorable Dewa-filled photos and my captions are sync’d up perfectly with our Teachings in the SanghaLounge and here this week…may we all Benefit…Can’t you just feel a celestial MIGHT within those beautiful Cloud Sisters in the pic above?! Conduct thyself in the manner of Father Sky and just let come what may come, and let go what goes.
