Most Access~Able Coach Ilg,
Nutrition ~ only in the last few hundred years have diets become so grotesque, you find and preach the truth.
Strength training ~ Only with the advancement of machines that do everything for you have we needed to "train" our bodies for strength, you find and preach the truth.
Cardio ~ We walked, we walked everywhere, curse you Henry Ford!!, but you find and preach the truth.
Yoga ~ Ancient wellness in~bodying spirit, nutrition, strength, stillness, that recently became "Americanized" and fadded (refer to Christina's email from DL to under~stand my meaning), you find and preach the truth.
Meditation ~ That thing which religion is supposed to do for you, bring you closer to the spirit of God, you find and preach the truth.
BUT~
i need to tell you that it is your access-ability that is the most amazing thing. The path you champion is an ancient one. One that people have lost sight of throughout the ages.You found it through your pain and sweat, opened to the realization, driven by metta to share, blessed with focus to plan and explain for others. Yours is an amazing path. But i must restate, your access-ability is the most amazing gift you give. The offer of the attainable truth is so sweet. It is mystical and pragmatic. In~powering, in~viting, in~bracing.
i had the cash to join training or buy a bike. You knew this of course, but what i saw was you putting your (casual) student FIRST. Be fore you! You could easily have told me to forget the bike and get my butt in on-line training, but you gave me yet another reason to believe. i will be a student soon, but i must tell you, in truth. i am your student now. My daughter's Braces are almost paid for and that will free up the dinero i need. But what you give is worth so much more than money Coach, You give hope! For this i thank you from the very depth of my being.
Your humble feeble student,
thOMas
