The Charleston is a dance named for the harbor city of Charleston, South Carolina. The rhythm was popularized in mainstream dance music in the United States by a 1923 tune called “The Charleston” by composer/pianist James P. Johnson which originated in the Broadway show Runnin' Wild and became one of the most popular hits of the decade. Runnin' Wild ran from 29 October 1923 through 28 June 1924. The peak year for the Charleston as a dance by the public was mid-1926 to 1927.

Plant Aloha (FREE Class) Sweet Tropical Fruits with Wade Bauer
2017-06-01 09:00 - 12:30 | Hawaiian Sanctuary, Mile Marker 12, Hwy 130, Pahoa, HI, 96778, United States
Hawaiian Sanctuary is proud to present: Plant Aloha, a FREE educational series of sustainable farming classes. Every Thursday morning, from 9:00am until 12:30pm, with special Saturday monthly offerings, led by local and visiting experts. Visit our website for more information:
http://hawaiiansanctuary.com/plantaloha
Thursday, June 1st 2017 – 9:00am-12:30pm
Sweet Tropical Fruits with Wade Bauer
This class will focus on Papaya, Lilikoi, Citrus, and Pineapple, which are easy to grow and nutritious. Many other more exotic sweet fruits will be covered as well.
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.
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.
Plant Aloha is supported, in part, by the County of Hawaii, Research & Development. We are still looking for support to complete and enhance this amazing project. Please give what you can:

Intensive with Nicki Doane Philosophy and Yoga: Merging of the M
2017-06-01 13:00 - 2017-06-04 16:00 | Yoga Centered Studio & Boutique, 37 Waianuenue Ave, Hilo, HI, 96720, United States
Integrating Asana with Philosophy is one of the benchmarks of Maya Yoga Vinyasa Fusion. If we simply break down the meanings of each of these names it only makes sense. Yoga aims at wholeness and can be treated that way only when we treat it as a whole. In Yoga today, it has become fashionable to compartmentalize this age-old practice and to take only the surface bits and pieces. The great thing about yoga is that you will get out of it what you are willing to put into it. So, if all you are interested in is a stronger, more flexible body, then you can certainly achieve that through regular practice of the Yogic asanas. But if you are more deeply interested in all that yoga has to offer you, then it is time to view it as a whole holistic practice.
What better place to introduce these timeless pearls of wisdom than while practicing? In this intensive, not only will Nicki weave the philosophy, as taught in the Yoga Sutras, into the actual asana practices; but you will also study and discuss the Yoga sutras as they relate to your practice and to your everyday life as well. What is Practice really, other than preparing us for the real work, which happens on a day-to-day, hour-to-hour basis, off the mat and in our own lives? When we take on a spiritual practice we become Spiritual activists, and we begin to DO and not just think about doing. So, come and join Nicki on a journey that is unlike any other, the journey into Self.
Devotion to yoga and the desire to share with and give back to the world are what motivate the teaching of Maya Yoga with Nicki Doane. Yoga is spirit in action, and as Nicki teaches, she inspires people to find a place of spirit inside themselves, recognizing the profound connection between the self and spirit.
Nicki has been studying yoga in India for years and has been deeply influenced by the teachings of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and B.K.S. Iyengar. Her unique approach to Vinyasa yoga strengthens all aspects of your being through dynamic structural alignment, conscious breathing, and practical yogic philosophy; helping students find the deeper life of yoga. Nicki strives to teach each student that yoga is about being fully present in the moment and discovering that we are truly all One: One Love, One People, One Heart, One Destination – Our Higher Self.

Nicki Doane had a wanderlust that led her to India in 1991 to study yoga. She went to Mysore to meet Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and immediately realized she had found her teacher. Nicki started teaching in 1992. She cites Pattabhi Jois, along with Eddie Modestini, Gabriella Giubilaro, and Tim Miller among her most influential teachers. She is an authorized teacher of Ashtanga Yoga. Although rooted in Ashtanga, Nicki's teaching goes beyond the traditional. Her Vinyasa classes combine asana, pranayama, philosophy, and poetry. Nicki’s emphasis is on awareness: creating integrity within each pose that can be carried beyond the mat into daily life. Nicki teaches at yoga studios and conferences across the globe. She is featured in two Ashtanga Yoga DVD’s from Gaiam Inc. and recently produced her own series of Maya Yoga DVD’s in collaboration with Eddie Modestini. Nicki lives in Maui, HI, where she runs the Maya Yoga Studio.
