The Agassiz Winter Duathlon

click on pics to enlarge the chi hit...


Though it be spring, ilg still has a few snow-filled treats up his sleeve...check out what i did yesterday; The Agassiz Winter Duathlon!



"Oh yeah, this outta work," i smiled to Ananda as i wheeled Nalanda (my cross bike) out my driveway yesterday at around noon. she just shook her head saying, "Be careful," already accustomed to my need for quixotic workouts within the Sacred Peak wilderness.

my intent?

it seemed a go(o)d one to me: cycle up to the 'closed' alpine ski area carrying my skis, nordic ski up the ski runs to timberline at 11,500', telemark down, and ride back home. the salient feature on my planned route would have to be the 4,150' two-sport climb in just about 9 miles.

now, over the course of several decades, many of ilg's similar ideas have quickly disintegrated into a battle of what fellow WF Mountain Yogi Bantu may call, 'yet another battle between stubborness and stupidity', however, yesterday, the Mountain Gods were very kind and i came away with a world-class winter duathlon workout that is just classic. if you look closely at the little bulge in my ski pole strap in the photo above, that strap bulge kinda points at my top-out point right at timberline on Agassiz Peak. after Ananda snapped this picture, i was off and less than two hours and two sports later, i was at timberline, gazing down on all of my Beloved Southwest....here is the story and some more pics to inspire your own WF Practice...thank you for supporting DIRECT LINES; The Tribal Newspaper Rock of Wholistic Fitness since 1982.

Important Slim Cap® info for those seeking lean physiques and healthy digestion


Everybody wants to be lean and world-class fit,
but not everybody wants to follow 3 decades of experience to get there...


It doesn't happen in our Clan, cuz we are well-coached in the use of the SUNRIDER Herbs, however, i reckon other people not used to the potency of SUNRIDER Herbs, have been overdosing on the SLIM CAPS, thinking that "more is better." that is typical of the immature fitness warrior.

i've updated some important information on the SLIM CAPS in the SUNRIDER section of the WF SanghaLounge.

check it
and
get ripped (wisely!)

Two Things I Love...

on today's DIRECT LINES!

ain't seen that Dress Size in 10 years!

Your entry yesterday on satellite litter was a great one and what a great thought on the National Day of Drinking too much (at least in Chicago)...I pick up litter on occasion but I will try the non-dominant hand this time!!!!!!!!!! I fit into a dress yesterday I had not worn in 10 years....so I am slowly making progress..although I wish it were more financial progress so I can get on MAP Amino Acids and more of the WF path.......... But my handstands, cartwheels(I know, not a yoga move but a Jeannie move)back bends and headstands are all stronger and better..But I so APPRECIATE Direct LInes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Study of Reality...through WF...



"Ever since I came to you," a monk complained, "I haven't been instructed at all in the study of Reality."

"Ever since you came to me," replied the Master, "I have always been pointing out to you how to study Reality."

"In what way, sir?"

"When you brought me tea, did I not accept it? When you served me food, did I not eat it? When you made bows to me, did I not return them? When did I ever neglect in giving you instruction?"

Seeing that the monk did not understand, he concluded, "If you want to see, see directly into it; but when you try to think about it, it is altogether missed."

- Zen


***


The student of Wholistic Fitness has nothing to do but go on living his or her life within the circumstances (around thy own stance) of the Outer World. She rises in the early morning, does her Ritual, puts on clothes with Awareness (and hopefully using Non Dominant hand) and performs her work as devotion toward her Higher Self.

When the WF Student walks, he walks with WF Lifestyle Principle #1. When he sits, he sits, when he feels his samskaric and vasanic tendencies arise, he applies the WF Lifestyle Principles as skillfully as possible and goes on living with Awareness.

WF is not about clever little "Workouts of the Week," which really should be written, "Workouts of the Weakly motivated."

WF is about doing the work of Personal Transformation through union, not ego.

Like the sage says, "If you strive to become Buddha (or Jesus, or...) by any conscious contrivances, your Buddha is indeed the source of eternal bondage."

7 Dharma TAFs





this picture gets my "Living and Dying In Kali Yuga" award for the week...the photo shows the tens of thousands of 'satellite debris' now in orbit around our Mother. over the next decade a large percentage of this debris will be rocketing toward our homes down here on our Earth Mother. Yogic scriptures predicted that our imbalance of creating Outer Technology while ignoring Inner Spiritual/Consciousness Development will result in Shiva's Big Dance upon Humans. WF Assignment today; pick up a piece of litter with your Non Dominant Hand as a gesture of compassion for our Species avidhya (spiritual ignorance).

i've already done the dishes, yes, even the baby bottles, and i still have some
energy to rub your shoulders...what do you say?"



how Steep and Direct of a Path is that for must of us guys?

four words;

SUPER Steep,
SUPER Direct.

the Yang (male) Partner has countless genetic pulses - strong ones - that enforce
the Single Tasking of one thing at any given time for 'his' partner/family:
Hunting.

that's it.

attaining lower chakral manifestations of shelter and food (today's version is more easily recognized as "money and more money") for 'his' Clan is tantamount.

for the Yang Partner to flip instantly between Warrior mode of Hunting
and Incredibly Sensitive 'Guy' (which is precisely what New Daddies must constantly do)
requires demanding skills within the inner development realm.

Dear Coach Ilg,

One is always faced with choices in life. For me, my choice at this time is to "fully fund" my MAP Amino Acids, Sunrider Herbs, and Direct Lines. I will Tithe the WF Temple whatever I can each month until such time I can re-apply for entry into your temple as an Online Student.

Namaste,

HP Yogi Brandon; Singing the HP Yoga Praises



Dear Coach,
HP Yoga has only made me wise, fit, and happy... maybe not pretty :) especially in my post-practice hair.

I am honored by your personal reply, thank you for taking the time. I am in fact a veteran of your glorious Tarzana HP Yoga Cave and am still singing the HP Yoga praises to any and all who would hear. I have lived in LA for 9 years now, am 28, have been practicing Yoga for 8 years, and am also an Interdisciplinary Yoga Instructor and I must tell you, from then to now, I still think you had the best discipline of Yoga that I have come across, in Los Angeles or elsewhere, which is a feat indeed! Our smog covered skys and sunny days miss the WF experience terribly, COME BACK SOON!! All my best and Namaste!

Sincerely,
Brandon

Master Student Inka Awarded!

Want to learn more about becoming a WF Master Student? You can speak with several WF Master Students each day in the WF SanghaLounge...these Noble Warriors and Warrioress's are specifically trained to Serve, Give, and Love as my Brightest Lights of our Humble, Powerful Path! Each of them are trained - through years of Direct Experience - not only in the multidisciplined sweat of WF, but also in SUNRIDER herb and MAP Amino Acid knowledge






Last week, WF Online Veteran Student Wendy Cooper took another Pilgrimage to the Sacred Peak for a winter intensive. Un-be-known to her or myself, the WF Deities Blessed her Practice with a WF Master Student Inka and Sacred Name; Tapavati. Above, Tapavati pauses at 11,500' for a closer view of her Ishta Deva; the Sacred Peak of Doko Oosliid. this photo and all others below by steve ilg...note; iDL'rs may not be able to view the photos below...




Namaste Coach Ilg,

i thank you with my whole heart for spending time with me in WF Intensive last week.


in fact, the #1 take-away from my time with you was the feeling of having your very concentrated 100% attention for an entire day. something that is challenging to describe, yet share-able with others.

{OTHER LESSONS LEARNED FROM OUR ONE-DAY INTENSIVE}:

{FROM OUR PRIVATE ALPINE SKI LESSON}:
i find myself amused that my feeble skiing skills were coached by a world class athlete; and that there's not an 'adventure' or sport i could choose for which you wouldn't be the most deluxe coach.

{FROM ATTENDING YOUR FLAGSTAFF HP PROP WORKOUT}:
i feel inspired once again to tackle my runaway abdominals. funny they waited til saturday to hurt!

{FROM THE PRIVATE YOGA SESSION}:
my spine is free! day by day i am rediscovering my breath. and my left side has begun to play in Agni Sara pulls and Nauli.

thank you for sharing your family with me for a few minutes. Joy is positively radiant as a new mama, and Dewa is 'tres content.' you are doing a great job in your new role as Abbah-Ilg!

many thanks for the gifts as well. especially the dvds. my Ilg library is once-again complete :-).

i bow.

love,
student coop

Due to Student Coop's stalwart several years of Online Training, plus several WF Private Intensives, and the Transformation that she has been and is experiencing,
i granted her one of the most difficult to attain certifications on the planet;
a WF Master Student Inka and Tribal Name...


My precious student's WF Master Student Name is; Tapavati...means (among other more Vishnu things) "she who is warming."

please bow before a most Noble Warrioress of our Tribe: Tapavati!

HP PROP WORKOUT 101; Treasuring The Training Effect





Coach Steve Ilg, creator of the exclusive 'HP PROP WORKOUT®', cranking through "Blocked Knee Drives", a hallmark HP PROP vinyasa. Photo by Wayne Williams. HP PROP WORKOUTS have reversed chronic pain and injury for many as well as being a pivotal training component among State, National, and World Champions across the globe for well over a decade. Each Thursday, Flagstaffians can take advantage of this unique Asanic Workout which complements ALL forms of asana, sport, and occupations.

***

"Coach,
How come it's Tuesday and my calves are still sore from our PROP WORKOUT last Thursday?"



A gem cannot be polished without friction. A bridge and a building are made of the same composite materials, yet they differ radically in appearance and function.

When i poured years and years of sweat and spirit into developing my HP PROP WORKOUTS, i did so with the Divine Intention of developing and using WHOLENESS to Heal and to attain sport podiums in more physiologically-diverse sports than any other sport-specific athlete. After gaining some amount of coordination into my paralyzed left side (courtesy of the "Diamond" on Longs Peak, Colorado), sweat-based Insight led me to use Yoga Blocks not as a 'crutch' but as spiritual weaponry to further my Self Healing and Self Empowerment. That is why we, in Wholistic Fitness®, use our Speech Awareness Practice, not to use the negative Word Choice, "sore", when referencing a completely appropriate and needed training response.

Muscle 'soreness' comes from muscle or connective tissue 'abuse' which goes against the first yogic principle of Ahimsa, or non-harming. Soreness is a cellular tearing accompanied by a toxic physiologic response.

Athletes, however, must - at times - consciously drill a performance that will result in muscle soreness. In training however, the mature athlete and certainly the yogically-inclined warrior, should never train to the point of soreness. That ain't training, that's ignorance. More often than not, the WF Maxim of 'Less is More' is the golden rule of lifelong training.

We must listen to the language of our bodies. Conscious Breathing is our Inner Teacher. This breath-based learning takes time. In most cases, lifetimes. Settle in for the long run. Do not rush Inner Tutoring.

Adopting a progressive training plan which moves the athlete or spiritual warrior through systematic periods of high intensity followed by low intensity and decompression phases is vital. That's what coaches are for; to help you understand the cyclic rhythms of Peak Performance. Unfortunately, most 'coaches' are trained only in specificity, not wholeness. If you are chronically getting "sore" instead of "well trained" or experiencing chronic aches and pains and cramping it probably means your cellular fitness (nutrition) is off. In WF, i all-ways start my 'coaching' from the cellular level which includes potent and ancient whole-food, regenerative herbs along with amino acid supplementation and lifestyle guidelines.

Until our bodies become more Pranically saturated, we remain slaves to the dense vibration of the muscle/oxygen system instead of the Awakened Grace of the much Higher and effective Pranic/Nadic system.

Using the HP Yoga Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday class system in place at NAYC (and available in DVDs for your out-of-town friends and family), you will be assured of a great, safe, and wise way to slowly shift your body toward the yogic goal of JivaLaghuvata or 'a yogic body of Light.'

Online and private consulations are always available, if you would enjoy myself or Joy to take a look at the Wholeness of your training toward Awakening and...never forget the summit; Enlightenment!

Onward, Upward, and endlessly Inward,

coach

Actual Training Exchange; LIVE YOUR LIGHT OUT LOUD!!!

{this exchange is with a young local yogini who came to me to 'cure' her absolutely butchered-from-various-doctors knees. if i had a dime...anyway, she is taking private bodywork/yoga with me along with my prescribed EMR and MAP Amino Acids. Within three sessions, things are starting to heat up...at the most important Level; the Inner Energetic Grid...)



***

Coach,

I don't know if there is time for this during our next Session, but could you give a little attention to my ankles or direct me to some movements that may be helpful? My right ankle just feels off....its hard to explain but perhaps we can look at it.



Coach:
perfect!
your right ankle is going off because your L. illium rides high and the pelvic shifting has started!!!! those Floorwork sessions are effective! this is great news. there is nothing we do directly at the ankle for right now...if the ankle carries within her past trauma, the pelvic shifting is going to arouse those stagnate energies. all is go(o)d. soon, your ankle will come into alignment, an alignment capable of sustained JUMPING!!! focus on the podium of healing for you and KNOW that your ankle going off is a go(o)d sign!!! quit taking Pain as a sign of weakness and see it for what is truly is; a shining beacon of Purification!




Yogini K;
There is a stiffness that can be difficult to walk on as though the bones are not aligned correctly. Crepitus is pretty normal in my ankles and I wonder if that is part of it. Nothing interesting or tramatic has happened recently but I used to sprain both ankles quite often. Yikes!
