Meet your Instructors

Rocky Heron first found his way to yoga as a teenager when he stumbled into Bryan Kest’s Power Yoga in Santa Monica, CA. Since then Rocky has dedicated himself to a passionate exploration of the body/mind's wisdom and innate healing potential, both as a teacher and student. His teaching is informed by years of study in various yoga styles and philosophies, and a constantly unfolding discovery of leading edge anatomical awareness and body mechanics. He offers the gift of yoga through the grace and brilliance of his teachers: Dharma
Mittra, Leslie Kaminoff, Noah Maze, Tara Judelle, and many others. Rocky teaches retreats and workshops throughout the world, and weekly as a senior instructor and teacher trainer at The Yoga Centre in San Luis Obispo, CA. Students journey to Rocky’s teaching for the intelligence, playfulness, and potent information contained in each of his classes, and Rocky journey’s each day tohis mat for the ever expanding layers of bliss and insight that he continues to
discover in his practice.

“Let us all recognize the source of this great human experience: that we are
the consciousness of creative intelligence made manifest for the delight of self-
exploration and expansion. May we all reclaim this knowledge of our power, and
play in this time and space without limits or fears of any kind. Namaste!”
