Rolf Gates

Today I got to take a three hour yoga class with Rolf Gates - a famous yogi from NYC and author of Meditations from the Mat. I am nursing an injury at the minute and am not supposed to do the yoga, but I couldn't resist.

His focus for the class was finding your optimum flow zone - the place where you feel peace and joy and aren't worrying over being a certain way or achievements of others around you. His point was to think about that idea on the mat and in your life.

Clearly, it was easy to see how that "flow" looks in a mini-Utopia yoga class. I even held my handstand for a few seconds! Work needed on applying that wisdom to my daily living. :)
