Aloha everyone!
I am taking a new job here on Maui! In
addition to our running an oceanfront Bed and Breakfast, I am the
new Children's Yoga and Education Coordinator through the Haiku Hot
Yoga Maui Studio and partnered with the Maui Youth Health Rangers
Club! We are a 501(c)(3) entity called Ke Kula 'Ike no ke
Kauiaulu in Hawaiian, which translates to School of Knowledge for
the Community. This amazing opportunity allows me to tie in many of
my driving life factors: yoga, children, farming and gardening,
health and nutrition, Mother Ocean, and the environment!
So what does this all mean? I'm
currently taking a Hot Yoga teacher training through Haiku Hot Yoga
Maui to be our Youth and Teen Hot Yoga teacher! This is an intensive
training that draws upon my many years of Hot and Bikram Yoga and my
focus is to gear our Hot Yoga classes toward children and the
prevention of childhood diabetes. At our studio we will grow
microgreens for immediate consumption and have free microgreens
starter kits for our kids participating in the Maui Youth Health
Rangers Club to take home! We will have a community garden where the
children and adults alike will be able to take responsibility for
where and how their food comes from! Our garden is visible from the
courtyard of our studio.
The Maui Youth Health Rangers Club will
have an after-school science club exploring many things from our
inside environment to our community and our outside environment.
Children participating in the Club will have their yoga paid for and
be encouraged to do 30, 60, and 90 day Hot Yoga challenges where the
children will have science based health documentation of each other as
they get healthy and combat childhood diabetes.
While we're cleaning up our “inner
ocean,” we're also cleaning up our outer ocean, partnering with
marine conservation agencies here on Maui. Our Maui Youth Health
Rangers Club, along with other members of the community will be
getting to work with, play in, and clean up our Mother Ocean.
We are restoring our personal health
and well-being, our community's health and well-being, and our
environment's health and well-being with a strong focus on our
youngest generations!
I am looking to raise $2000 by the end
of the year. All donations are tax deductible!!! Please consider
donating any amount, big or small as a gift for a GREAT cause!! How
