What Have You Bought with Your Life?
On Resurrection Day God will ask,
"During this sojourn I gave you,
what have you produced for Me?"
Through what work have you reached your life's end?
For what have your food and your strength been consumed?
Where have you dimmed the luster of your eye?
Where have you dissipated your five senses?
You have expended eyes and intellect and the pure celestial substances;
what have you purchased from the earth?
I gave you hands and feet as spade and mattock for tilling the soil of good works;
when did they begin to work by themselves?"
- Rumi

Dedicated HP Students may remember my "Cornish Hen" class...a delightful enriching release for the entire body.

Come, breathe, and practice relaxed alertness with the "Broken Back Yogi" so we can all help each other Higher!
Wednesday w/Joy

A soaring, uplifting class geared specifically for women, though men are encouraged to practice with us! Stabilization and strengthening of the urogenital floor and mula bandha musculature as well as core muscles while breathing consciously and gracefully into higher levels of physiologic and biomechanic fitness. Joy has attracted a strong sangha for this class among the medical community for good reason; it spurs self-healing and transformation with wisdom, love, and expertise.
Thursday w/Steve
5:30-7:00pm; HP PROP Workout BASICS CLASS!
QUICK! Go run and git that friend of yours that is too "scared" to take my regular PROP classes!

The HP Yoga® Wholistic Progression System "Coach, This morning in our beautiful, NAYC yoga-cave, you helped me to inhale the entire Universe, exhale my mind right out of my skull, and sweat at LEAST a day's worth of ego out on to the cave-floor. It is now QUITE apparent to me that it is the DIVERISTY of my practice(s), not just the regularity or repetition of them that makes for success in my "Wholistic" growth! CRY (Climb. Run. Yoga.) oN! LOVE Wyatt" Using the HP Yoga Wholistic Progression 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.' Each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday class affords unique physical, physiologic, and subtle training effects upon your body, mind, and spirit. As you continue to train within this system, you'll joyfully feel renewed, recentered, and more whole...you'll be able to tell by direct experience that this style was born from a Wholistic Fitness® tradition. There's nothing quite like it! Bodywork, Online, and private consulations and training sessions within the disciplines of strength, cardio, yoga, meditation, nutrition, fat loss, and lifestyle training are always available. It's what i've done at a world-class level since 1982. If you would enjoy myself or Joy to take a look at the Wholeness of your training, let us know. Onward, Upward, and endlessly Inward... coach steve ilg for a more complete view of Coach's notion of Yoga - one of nine subdisciplines of his Wholistic Fitness® Personal Training system, enjoy his book, TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATION and his latest book; PRANIC JUNKIE...both are available at the The Northern Arizona Yoga Center retail shop or click on "Shop Coach's Website Pro Shop" link below |
