Kū ana ka hula i ka maka ulu ola...


The beautiful 'olelo no'eau above means "hula transforms the center of life's inspiration." Hula is the beautiful, powerful, and heart-centered cultural dance from Hawai’i. The movement of hula is as soothing for the soul as it is a discipline for the body.

Keep reading if...

  • You’ve always wanted to try hula but didn’t know where to begin
  • You tried to learn hula from YouTube, but it doesn’t feel right to not have a relationship with a teacher
  • You’ve tried other exercise programs but they always feel like a chore or something you “should” do
  • You’re looking for a fun and natural way to move your body that you can do at any age, anywhere
  • You long to connect with a community that shares common values focused on a positive, uplifting way of living
  • You want a way to experience the culture of Hawai’i or deepen your relationship to the islands
  • You have a sense that learning an embodied practice is the right next step for your spiritual journey

Hula is more than dance.

Hula is not just a cultural dance style. We like to say “hula is life”, which means the teachings and practice of hula can translate into more joy and balance in your everyday life.

Imagine...

  • You feel happy and more confident in your body
  • You have more patience with your kids, your spouse, in stressful situations at work, or in general in everyday life
  • You experience more energy, enhanced physical health, and greater well-being
  • You move through life with more ease, which helps you handle whatever comes your way with less reactivity and more equanimity
  • You have a way to contribute something positive to make the world a better place
  • You experience a deeper relationship with nature, helping you feel a greater sense of belonging and kinship with all of life

As a result of learning Hula and Hawaiian chants online with us, you will…

  • Master the basics of Hula so that you can move with more grace and ease
  • Learn basic Hawaiian chants so that you can experience their healing effects
  • Feel spiritually connected and guided, giving you a greater sense of belonging, support, and inner strength
  • Access new tools, practices and perspectives that offer a blueprint for living with more joy
