Hatha Yoga
2017-01-17 16:00 - 17:00
Most forms of yoga in the West can be classified as Hatha Yoga. Hatha simply refers to the practice of physical yoga postures, meaning your Ashtanga, vinyasa, Iyengar and Power Yoga classes are all Hatha Yoga. The word “hatha” can be translated two ways: as “willful” or “forceful,” or the yoga of activity, and as “sun” (ha) and “moon” (tha), the yoga of balance. Hatha practices are designed to align and calm your body, mind, and spirit in preparation for meditation.

Movie Screening : This Changes Everything
2017-01-17 17:30 - 19:00 | Kahuku Public & School Library, 56-490 Kamehameha Hwy, Kahuku, HI, 96731, United States
Filmed over 211 days in nine countries and five continents over four years, “This Changes Everything” is an epic attempt to re-imagine the vast challenge of climate change. Inspired by Naomi Klein's international non-fiction bestseller “This Changes Everything,” the film presents seven powerful portraits of communities on the front lines, from Montana's Powder River Basin to the Alberta Tar Sands, from the coast of South India to Beijing and beyond. Interwoven with these stories of struggle is Klein's narration, connecting the carbon in the air with the economic system that put it there.
Throughout the film, Klein builds to her most controversial and exciting idea: that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better.

This class is part of the Plant Aloha Permaculture Series facilitated by Wade Bauer.
The goal is to teach local residents how to efficiently grow their own food at home to provide a fresh organic balanced diet. From field or backyard to table all the crops necessary are covered including their propagation, cultivation, harvest, preservation, and use. Permaculture tools and techniques focus on easy and practical ways to create food abundance at home. Every class is a blend of practical theory and hands on projects. Occasionally, free plant starts will be available.
Locally, this series will help increase food security and resiliency to natural disaster in Hawaii by relocalizing and diversifying our food supply. Globally, this series also helps reduce transportation of food, which will decrease carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. Culturally, these classes cover polynesian and pacific island crops and farming methods, which help preserve traditional Hawaiian horticultural practices. Plants from around the world that are already in use in Hawaii, will be highlighted, showcasing the multicultural heritage that makes present day Hawaii and our grinds unique and ono-licious.
Each class starts promptly with a lecture and Q&A before hands-on farm learning ~ Come prepared with notepad and writing utensil, closed toed shoes, sun hat, and gloves.

Jivamukti Yoga Series
2017-01-19 10:30 - 11:45 | Yoga Centered Studio & Boutique, 37 Waianuenue Ave, Hilo, HI, 96720, United States
Thursdays Jan 12th to Feb 9th
10:30-11:45am 5 weeks series
$15 for drop in or 5 series for $60
An internationally-recognized form of hatha yoga, Jivamukti Yoga is founded on five tenets—ahimsa (non-violence), bhakti(devotion), nada (music), shastra(scripture) and dhyana (meditation). The method emphasizes enlightenment or Self-realization as the goal of the practice, hence the name Jivamukti, which is a derivation of the Sanskrit word jivanmuktih, meaning “liberation while living.” It centers on the importance of establishing an elevated—i.e., selfless—intention as the motivation for one's practice. Jivamukti is an integrated method, incorporating elements of raja yoga (ethical, physical, breathing and meditative practices), bhakti yoga (devotional practices), karma yoga (practices of selfless service) and jñana yoga (intellectual and meditative practices). In the state of enlightenment, one realizes the oneness or interconnectedness of all being; hence, Jivamukti emphasizes the importance of veganism, environmentalism and political activism as key practices toward the goal. Jivamukti Yoga teachers are trained in a demanding program that covers these practices, as well as the traditional subjects such as asana practice and yoga philosophy. Jivamukti Yoga classes are rigorous, and the goal of the practice—enlightenment—is remembered throughout by the teacher and student alike.
