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.
You best submit this for a Grammy because you will win & I will vote for you! There are no words to describe the level of talent you show on this album. Everything from your performance to the band, the arrangement, the musicians, the engineer – All are SUPERB! It does not get better than this, ever! BRAVO!
“One for My Baby”, was absolutely A+ ~ Your intimate story-telling and using your pianist as the bartender was inspired. It turned a routine standard into a contemporary reflection on loss.
What a gift to be invited to share to share the rarified space with this wonderful group. While I have studied yoga for a couple years, I was new to Kundalini when I began classes with you, Rocky. I am so impressed with the Kriyas and the way you have woven them together to really give rotating attention to all areas of the body, mind, and spirit.

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.

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!
We are still smiling about the truly wonderful, talented show yesterday. Rocky, you are our rock star!! We enjoyed every moment of it – your solo talent, the arrangements, the harmonies.
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.
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!
Easy to Love arrived today. And from the first notes of the first track, we were captivated. Remarkable!! Sinatra Sings the Select Cole Porter is no longer my favorite collection… Easy to Love is. Thanks so much for brightening a busy day!
