What people are saying...
"When I registered for Rolf’s online training, I knew he would deliver life changing content, but I didn’t expect to make the personal connections with other participants that I have. The small group sessions and Rolf’s thought provoking discussion topics set the stage for deep, honest and supportive sharing! My intention with this training was to develop a greater understanding of the chakras and the yoga sutras to integrate into my classes, and with Rolf’s down-to-earth, engaging explanations, I have experienced major growth in my teaching and also my own self-discovery. Rolf is so generous with his time, experience and the breadth of his knowledge, masterful but humble, an excellent teacher. I recommend this training with all my being!"
Peace, Joy
Program Description: VISION + COMMITMENT
The aim of this training is to aid in the development of truly impactful Yoga Teachers: Teachers who are leaders. In order to accomplish this aim, we will study in depth the space within which the teacher learns, grows, teaches and leads: The mirror of everyday life. We will refine our vision and commitment to our role in the classroom to achieve a level of mastery as a teacher and leader in our community.
We will explore the dynamics of karma, principle, awareness, freedom and choice. We will come to a holistic understanding of the human experience we share, the purpose of spiritual practice and the role of the teacher. To that end, teachers engaged in the Advanced Vinyasa Teacher Training will study and be able to teach classes and workshops that address:
- The Yoga Sutras as a context for understanding and transformation
- The Mechanics of Karma as the foundation of spiritual growth
- The Three Aspects of Practice: Sila, Samahdi and Wisdom
- The Powerful Intersection of Western Science and Yoga
- Non-violence in action
- The Art of Sadhana: The Development and Refinement of a Home Practice
- A Refined Vision of the Yoga Teacher's Tools: Asana, Pranyama and Meditation
- A Refined Vision of the yoga teacher: The use of Self in a transformational environment.

Through yoga, we learn to bring our attention to a particular area in our bodies, or in our lives, and keep it there - and the results are nothing short of miraculous. The only thing that seems certain is that we cannot imagine the power of a mind, a will, and a body refined by yoga. We must experience such transformation for ourselves." – Rolf Gates
