Recently named in Travel and Leisure’s Top 25 Yoga Studios Around the World.
Rolf Gates, author of the acclaimed book on yogic philosophy Meditations from the Mat: Daily Reflections on
the Path of Yoga conducts Vinyasa Intensives and Teacher Trainings throughout the US and abroad. His
workshops are a synergy of the freedom of a powerful vinyasa flow and the structural integrity of
therapeutic alignment principles. Rolf and his work have been featured in numerous magazines that
include Yoga Journal, Natural Health and People Magazine. A frequent conference presenter, he was the
Keynote Speaker at the Midwest Yoga Conference, IL 2009. A former social worker and US Airborne Ranger
who has practiced meditation for the last sixteen years, Rolf brings his eclectic background to his practice and his
teachings. He will also be teaching a 200hr Vinyasa Teacher Training (7 weekends) at Cross Gates begining January 2010.
This intensive will be a blending of dynamic asana practice and self study. We will use this time together to clarify the
relationship between what we love, what we believe in, and what we do. Come prepared to challenge yourself. The
intensive is open to all who wish to explore yoga as an evolutionary journey - The only “requirement” is that you…
“show up, do your best… and let your best be good enough.”

Being Still with Skill - Meditation Workshop
Sunday, September 27th, 9-12pm
Yoga is the cultivation of inner space and the ability to use it
well. In this 3hr session, Rolf will describe the opportunity
presented to us in the teachings of the Buddha and
Patanjali. Explore how these great contributions to
consciousness weave beautifully together to enhance the
quality of our daily lives. This will be in lecture discussion
form and guided meditation experiences. This workshop is
for advanced and beginner students.
