I like the focus on breathing that is a part of Kundalini Yoga. With consistent practice, I find my breathing is smoother and deeper and I am more aware of the quality of my breathing and of the times when I stop breathing. In addition, I stand taller, am more aware of my posture.
Anne-Lindsay Makepeace - Stanford DCI Partner Class of 2019 - New York & LondonFrom my introduction to Kundalini Yoga with Rocky a year ago I have been given a gift. Through Rocky’s practice I have been exposed to yoga in a new form, with a new devoted mentor whether in person for the first part of the year and now in its virtual form. Rocky has instructed us consistently, gently and kindly to reach, breathe, quiet the mind and embrace our better self. When Rocky breaks out into song, there is no better place to be than on ones mat. You encouraged us to pause, think of o… Read more

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.

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!

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!

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.

Sure enjoyed your performance last night! You held the audience in the palm of your hand. It’s great how you always educate your audience. I read more about Harry Warren (Salvatore Antonio Guaragna) cool he was a pro drummer at 14! And composer of over 800 songs as you said. It was a terrific evening…. (we) enjoyed it very much . Thanks again for making “Culture of Course” shine with culture. Great job!
Susan Alexander - Stanford DCI Partner Class of 2019Rocky! Your gift of 1000 days of yoga is the most meaningful and long lasting gift I have ever received. I will be forever grateful. I loved the questions and was pleased I had clear answers to most. I found them so thought provoking that I just read the first set to (family) as a new years gift. I’m looking forward to seeing you in person and giving you 2 years of hugs.… just a warning!

Your singing was sensational. We loved the swinging arrangements and the way you crafted the medleys. Your acting was terrific. I love your Cole Porter CD. Have played it dozens of times crossing the Golden Gate bridge from home to the UCSF Mission Bay campus!

I have tried yoga before, but I never stayed with the practice. Then I met Rocky. Enthusiasm, encouragement and kindness radiate from him. He patiently explains new postures, unfamiliar words and accommodations for injuries. After six months of Rocky’s kriyas, I move in ways that surprise me, I have increased stamina, I breathe more deeply and I leave class refreshed and relaxed.
