High Mountain Hurl…end of the first set of 2 x 5 sets of 40″ MTB Hill Repeats into 30″ Jump Squats…at 12,300’…
oh there’s Pilates, there’s Kettleballs, there is “power yoga” taught by low-landers…however, when it comes to Wholistic Yoga? there is still only one ilg – at nearly 50 years old – willing to puke black blood since 1981 just to Rise Higher Within…Toward Wholeness…Toward genuine Union with the Divine; aka; Yoga. come on…let’s share my workout today…
My breath comes in thrusts, like a spawning salmon determined toward higher, purer waters. Just 4 days after racing Imogene – and the very morning after teaching a HP Yoga™ PROP WORKOUT – i somehow have again managed to forget both my age and adult responsibilities and find myself bolting about the alpine tundra like a Rocky Mountain ram. …come, let’s share a Recovery Run together in my beloved pranic playground in the high San Juans as the highest chakra of Mother Earth whispers soft, tensionless saluations as she begin to hunkers down for a long, cold winter…
The amazingly devoted WF Fan-Turned-Student-Turned-Shishya-Turned-Pilgrim EYT has just earned her WF Master Student Inka and new WF Tribal Name: Suparna. Read below to learn what that name means and why?
to remain consistent with Wholistic Fitness™ requires unimaginable tenacity and sankalpa…many students get Lit Up for the initial year or so of the WF Path, only to waver and give into egoic-based samskaras…for the few however, we begin to feel chronic trickles of the unchanging Bliss of our unique Enlightenment Potential dancing within the challenges and joys of our lives; and THAT is a benchmark attained by only the most sincere and heart-orientated Warriors of Wholeness…witness thus the Word from a precious student in Florida below…. photo by ilg; cloud roll over Doko Oosliid juxtaposed with Grandmother Moon.
come experience what a Day One of a WF Private Intensive with me right here in Durango is like as i and Ananda enjoy our time with WF Master Student Allan Ludgate today….Meditation, Yoga, Cardio, ST, and Nutrition personally supervised by the creator and founder of Wholistic Fitness™
i took this shot after picking up Ananda just south of Baker’s Bridge a few days ago after she did some triathlon training. as a family, we then threw sticks into a creek, watched Wapiti Beings relax into a sunset, and just enjoy other basic family necessities. such sweetness in the moment is the Blessed Common Denominator to living in Durango…
This is exactly what a Private Intensive with me is supposed to do – take you into the real texture of a chi-full life…Shishya IC, straight from NYC to Durango for three days; one of which he spent with me. The other two days he spent wisely: chillin’ within the Pranic Potency of Durango as to increase his acclaimed musicianship! i cannot express how important it is for ALL WF fans and students to sign up for at least one WF Private Intensive per year…even if you do a WF Half-Day Training Camps with me and just do like Student IC did and hang in the absolute wonder-land of my hOMetown; your Practice will deepen by lifetimes…as IC found out last Saturday…c’mon…i’ll give you a few snapshots of IC’s Intensive which included snowshoeing, meditation, yoga, and Dharmic Transmission all along the way…
WF Online Student Monty Mason…below is his actual Training Cycle Update from last week’s practice…it’ll bring a smile to your heart, i am sure…so you can imagine what it did to my – his coach’s – heart! There ain’t nothing like WF, and there sure as hell ain’t NOTHING like a Wholistic Fitness Online Student! This May, Monty, who lives in Arkansas, is going to Take Pilgrimage to Durango to check off one of the three Wholistic Fitness™ Sacred Sweat Pilgrimages; The Iron Horse Bicycle Classic!

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.
