Michael Gates

Michael Gates took his first step on the path of yoga more than ten years ago; he doesn’t recall the exact year and takes this to be a measure of his practice. He balances his work on the mat with a voracious and personally-directed study of anatomy and the alignment principles of asana. In 2008, he validated the depth of his knowledge through completion of a 200-hour teacher training at YogaWorks, and would like to thank his instructors, Sarah Bell and Tzahi Moskowitz, for their encouragement to begin teaching at once. Michael’s classes focus on the discovery and refinement of balance in body and mind, using the breath as both anchor and guide. After five years as a student at Jaya, he’s grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community, and he welcomes you to join him in the exciting and limitless truth of yoga.
