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!!!

I am a dedicated believer in the value of yoga for physical and mental fitness, healthy aging and the harmonization of body, mind and spirit. At the age of 71 I have experienced hundreds of yoga classes, multiple styles of yoga, and dozens of different teachers. Rocky Blumhagen is the best of them all. He is knowledgeable, experienced, gifted at teaching and communicating, and brings a spiritual awareness to the practice of yoga that is uniquely enlightening and balancing.

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.

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

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!

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!

Anita Royer - Stanford DCI Partner Class of 2019
I have become an amazed and surprised devotee for sure, and though I’ll regretfully miss this week with the noon hour full of a number of family visits in MA and PA, I’ll be in our apartment (back East) next week and should be able to check in for at least several sessions. In the meantime, I will find time to study and review the material you’ve sent in this email, and have found this kundalini practice with you and this wonderful group is touching me on several energizing and spiritual l… Read more

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

I have attended live in-person, live virtual, and pre-recorded Kundalini sessions with Rocky. I like Kundalini because of the opportunity to explore and challenge myself in a unique way. Rocky is a warm, welcoming, humble and intuitive teacher. There’s a reason this hour and a half experience is a part of my regular practice!

After SO many years, I finally had the opportunity to see you perform live. And what a fun show it was! Rocky, when you spoke of the memory work and harmonies involved in the Sinatra show I had no idea. Wow! You weren’t kidding! It was such a treat, an ear-tickling joy to hear the complexity of the arrangements and the absolutely stunning 4-part voicing. Every note hit with precision. So much so that several times during the performance I caught myself grinning from ear to ear in sheer delight a… Read more
