Beginning Hula Workshop

Hula is the art of Hawaiian dance expressing all that we see, hear, taste, touch, and feel.It is the main practice at Halau i Ka Pono, our hula school. Halau translates as “meeting house or place of learning,” and i Ka Pono means “of goodness, well-being, righteousness.”  Another way to say this is “place to cultivate the goodness.”  The purpose is to teach indigenous Hawaiian culture and stories through the joy of dance.Hula and healing go hand in hand.  The dance is a wonderful way to strengthen and get energy moving in the core muscles of the body.  It connects us to the grounding energy of the earth and opens us to the warm spirit of Aloha.  There are elements of mindful centering, flowing and breath-work involved in this Native Hawaiian dance form.   All ages can benefit.

We are rescheduling this workshop to sometime this summer. Stay tuned for date and time. We will give you a credit for future scheduling of the workshop or issue a full refund. Mahalo!!!Hula is the cultural dance of the Hawaiian people. The movements in this traditional dance reflect our natural environment: the play of the wind through the trees, sound of the ocean as it breaks through shore, how the lava flows as it creates new earth. The hula dancer is an instrument, conveying the natural beauty of our world and connecting us more deeply to the elements all around and within us. Hula is life expressed through movement. Sarah Evans is the teacher. Sarah&#x27;s path led her to Halau I Ka Pono in 2011. Resonating with the gentle movements and the positive learning environment cultivated by Kumu June, she felt an immediate connection to hula as a healing art. With 16 years experience teaching Anatomy, Kinesiology, Bodywork and Self Care (yoga, meditation, breathwork), she brings a passion for healing to the beautiful, nurturing art of hula.Wear comfortable clothes appropriate for movement.This workshop includes: <ul><li>Warm-up exercises cultivated to enhance body awareness</li><li>Basic hula hand and foot movements</li><li>A full basic hula instruction.</li></ul>This workshop is for those seeking gentle exercise geared towards hip mobility, core strength and increasing mind-body connection through the beauty of Hula.Adults 16+No experience required.
