Rocky’s performance of An Evening of Cole Porter with the Walla Walla Symphony was fun, polished and simply delightful. Our near sold-out audience loved it and his performance brought them to their feet.

While it is not always intuitive to me, Rocky is so good at explaining the yoga poses in a virtual setting. I have tried other Yoga classes throughout the years and never felt comfortable, so I didn’t stick with the practice. Rocky created an environment where I felt comfortable as a novice. Now I even have a posture named after me! Just in our class, but I’m very proud of this accomplishment!

There is nothing more fun than a revue of well known music when it hits the mark! Rocky… a pro with such great energy who needs no roadmap around this material, knows his way around a song and can still “dish the dirt” with the rest of the company. Thank you for such a delightful, memorable evening – ol’ blue eyes would tip his fedora to you for this awesome salute to his songbook!

A kundalini yoga practice led by Rocky is the best way to start the day and live the day in buoyant positivity, especially in these challenging times. It is a life changer. I consider my yoga practice with Rocky as a gift of wellbeing that I am so fortunate to be able to give to myself.

This kriya is wonderful and very intense. I could barely speak after it on Sunday to say thank you. The way you led us through it was so thoughtfully and skillfully done. I also felt very grateful for your reading of the Yeats poem and the passage on the tension between insisting on sharing one’s world with a loved one and respecting their own strengths, limitations, and gifts. I have certainly found that a challenge as time goes on. Many thanks again for allowing me to join you for these won… Read more

It has been a wonderful experience practicing Yoga with you all, guided by Rocky! It helped me to stay calm and mindful during the pandemic. A special thank you to Rocky! I’ve been practicing Yoga following Rocky’s videos on his website. I will continue to practice Yoga on-line and breathe with you all in mind.

You are skilled, talented and have a wonderful ability to explain both concepts and details in warmest way. You understand all of our different levels of experience and abilities. Just the sound of your beautiful voice relaxes me and inwardly makes me smile. Thank you for giving yourself and your deep knowledge to us – you are wise in not just yoga, but you have such emotional wisdom which you so generous share with us. I just wanted you to know what a valuable offering yoga is for me and all … Read more

“… it was stunning, my friend! You did Cole real justice. Your up-tempos bounced and your ballads flowed. I particularly liked the introspective slower motions of several songs – nothing unhurried, everything thoughtful. I also was taken with your immediate and easy rapport with the audience. Most important, the audience was given complete honesty both in your singing and in your talking…”
Jan Robinson
I have to tell you, I shared your web site with a first friend – she was reminded of all her favorites – her dad was an opera singer in Yugoslavia and in Cole Porter’s era. Of course, we share Bocelli, Frangoulis and Blumhagen… All rich, sensual voices!

Thank you so much for yoga—it is an amazing part of my life. I was thinking that you and yoga have been one of the great gifts of my DCI year. I had never really done yoga before and was intimidated by the thought of it and “yoga positions” for my neck. But you encouraged and welcomed me with your enthusiasm —and now I am total convert!!!
