What is Hula Pono? 

The abbreviated definition for Pono is

'Do What is Right'.

Kumu Kaipo will share the dynamics of PONO gleamed throughout her journey with 1) Hula and Chanting from the Hawaiian Culture, 2) Nihon Buyo (Semi-classical Dance) from the Japanese Culture, and 3) Tai Chi from the Chinese Culture.

Kumu Kaipo uses both Hula and Chanting to teach the many aspects of Pono.  During your sessions with Kumu Kaipo (via Zoom), you will learn how being Pono outlines the 5 sensual aspects of movement, 5 major energy sources of your body,  and the breathing patterns for vocal expression.

You'll move to the timing of the gourd, music or chants.  You'll do drills to invigorate your breathing faculties.  While practicing various exercises during sessions and on your own, recall skills and coordination can also become more proficient.

Each session is scheduled at a time that works for you and by way of Zoom.  Lessons can be conducted from where ever you're located. Each lesson will be designed for the unique path of each person.  A hula or chant will be shared by Kumu Kaipo that can best assist one's progress.  And, time for talk-story or questions is a must.
