Why Race?

“Toeing The Start Line,” has long been a catch phrase of mine. Here is why:

Doing what is required to simply Toe The Start Line of a race (or of a performance) is tantamount to cultivating the Warrior qualities which the Ancient Enlightened Ones advised as key for success on the spiritual journey: steadfast practice (Abhyasa), Faith (Shraddha), determination (sankalpa), and mental collectedness (sama-dhana).

At a deeper, perhaps largely unconscious level among athletes, the desire to Toe The Start Line reflects our ancient Warrior lives and symbolizes our inherent desire to become liberated through intensity of training pain and sweat.

We now live in a very diluted age of Yogic integrity where “Yoga for Athletes” is being taught by “teachers” who themselves have never even done what it takes to consistently Toe The Start Lines of races, let alone match the physiologic diversity which you’ll find throughout the Wholistic Fitness™ Path.

Yoga means “Wholistic Practice,” and as such, a yogi must never push away any aspect from his or her understanding of what Yoga includes. Toeing the Start Lines of sport and life prepare the yogi for our ultimate Start Line—our Bardo Entry—which is also the Start Line for cashing in our just how deeply we chose to train for the ultimate podium of the Human “Race” … Enlightenment.

Why do you think They call us the Human “Race?” Life is a competition. It’s a competition in it’s truest sense which means, “to arise from within.”

As you peruse my Race Results below, I think you’ll find a refreshing, inspiring example of a “broken back” athlete who keeps toeing the Start Lines in order to Practice what I teach: genuine yoga, genuine wholeness.
