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!

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

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.

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

Having Rocky as my instructor in kundalini yoga has been a great privilege. If you ever get the opportunity to take one of his yoga classes, thank your lucky stars and jump right in. Rocky is wise and kind and thoughtful as he explains how and why to do each pose, so even as a beginner you have confidence. An added bonus: sometimes Rocky sings, making the class all the more beautiful.

The consistent practice of Kundalini Yoga over the last six months resulted in many benefits: Improved sleep, better breathing, and the resolution of an elbow injury from two years. The combination of our breath work, meditation and movement have greatly enhanced my overall sense of wellbeing while enhancing creativity and productivity in this period of considerable stress.

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.

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!

We had just a fantastic time. It was marvelous to get to hear you perform, Both of us were so impressed at how you can adjust your style and work the audience — Whether in a huge auditorium or an intimate setting like tonight’s space. You are such a pro!

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!
