Danse Arts Yoga @ Hanalei Bay

Yoga and Danse play at Hanalei Bay

Nature is my playground.
More inspiring than the best dance studio, the firm wet sand created by the gentle lap of waves at seashore is perfect for training.
Filled with inspiration and surrounded by nature's beauty; I dance, play, stretch, do acrobatics, yoga, and swim.
Nourishing the body, mind and spirit; renewing joy in life, and aligning the body to tune into Universal energies for health benefits and continued evolution.

This is my prayer,
Conscious Breath with Movement.

The people of Lana`i were so kind and welcoming. The natural beauty and mana of the island was a pleasure. Hula halau came from Japan, Oahu, Maui, Big Island, Kauai, and France!

This is the 2nd year of the Ho`okupu Hula Fest, it is sure to grow and flourish; sharing hula and Hawaiian culture with each other. I am thankful and blessed.
