"Rolf really puts these age old yogic limbs into a language that really speaks to contemporary seekers and truly bares his soul (as they say "Warts and all") in sharing his deeply felt perspective on these different limbs. This book is a true gift to those who would love a very down to earth perspective on these timeless truths of yoga."

– Amazon Reader Review/Yoga Teacher

"This book Meditations From The Mat by Rolf Gates is a real treasure!"

– Amazon Reader Review

Daily Guidance For All: "Definitely one to own, and read everyday; whether a yoga instructor (as am I,) a beginner, one who practices religiously, or anyone looking for enlightenment on yogic principals, or just a more serene way to look at life, this book should have some words of wisdom for you. With quotes from the great minds, to everyday people, the short daily readings give you pause, while allowing you to relate your yoga practice more closely to your everyday life."

– Amazon Reader Review/Yoga Teacher

A Must Have Yoga Tool: "I was introduced to this book by my yoga teacher two years ago. It's an amazing book to guide you through your yoga journey. It's meant to be read in 365 days but there were times I would let it sit for a while. When I picked it up to read again it was always pertinent to where I was in my yoga practice and in my life. I highly recommend it for long time yoga practitioners and beginners too."

– Amazon Reader Review

Absolutely Stunning: "A moving and insightful daily meditation book with a clear description of the 8 limb path and insight into the yamas and niyamas. A must for anyone interested in a deeper experience of the true sense of yoga."

– Amazon Reader Review

"This is a wonderful book of instructive and encouraging daily meditations centered on the practice of yoga. Gates synthesizes his experiences as a yoga student and teacher, former army ranger, and recovering alcoholic, and explores the practice of yoga in a fresh, relevant manner perfect for American readers. Each day's reflection begins with a thought-provoking quote and then explores one intriguing aspect of yoga philosophy. Gates weaves stories of his own remarkable healing and growth with the yoga sutras of Patanjali, and provides illuminating and moving explanations of how yoga teachings apply to real-life situations. Gates succeeds in taking readers beyond the mat, and showing them how yoga works as a tool for transformation. Candid and engaging, Gates will inspire both readers currently practicing yoga and those who are thinking about it."
