RAVES & REVIEWS

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

On Day 65 of Kundalini Yoga I experience what Rocky has been talking about all this time The integration of Mind, Body and Spirit Stunningly simple and uncomplicated A moment on my mat When everything both past and present matters not Where bliss lives In the house of Sat Nam My Truth

“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.

Noah Griffin - The Cole Porter Society
Your Cole Porter CD arrived but a week or so ago and it was worth the wait. The love and appreciation of his genius shines through in your arrangements and interpretation of his tmeless work. Your voice to me incorporates the best of Anthony Newly and Michael Feinstein. the cover art reflects the taste and sophistication of the composer you honor. Well done my friend and thanks for sending it along!

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!

Mary Bettini - Director/Choreographer, New York
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!

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!

What I love most about Rocky’s Kundalini Yoga sessions is that they made yoga accessible for me. Rocky made me welcome, suggested modifications and was so encouraging that it made me feel more confident. Rocky’s personal touch, deep knowledge of kundalini and zest for us all to live better is habit-forming (in a good way!). The breath work has eased my asthma symptoms greatly, which keeps me coming back for more!

I joined his kundalini class in September, 2019, and still practice with him at every opportunity. His practice, I find, is gentle for the elder person, like myself. It includes extensive meditation, especially with meditative breathing. I have always been a very factual, hands-on scientific type person. And I still am such a person. Rocky makes me see a bit beyond. He has made me think reflectively like I have not before. I value this expanded scope of vision. I thank him so much.

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
