Hatha Yoga
2017-03-28 16:00 - 17:00 (Pacific/Honolulu)
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.

Open your soul and sing your heart! Even the gods are dancing and smiling!!!
Formed on the night of a blood moon eclipse Baraka Moon brings together a unique and ecstatic combination of traditional and contemporary Pakistani and Indian music with the Australian Aboriginal Didjeridu, combining them with an afro-funking blues rhythm section that whirls the frenzied crowd into the stratosphere!

Aaron Carmack also known as Mr. Carmack is a Hawaii-based producer blurring the distinction between Hip Hop and Dance Music in a progressive way that even has the most seasoned producers scratching their heads. Born and raised in San Francisco, Mr. Carmack is one of the most exciting producer/performer talents currently bubbling up from the new DIY electronic music underground.
Things reached an early peak for Mr. Carmack at the start of 2013after achieving the #1 chart spot on Bandcamp twice with Bang, Vol. 3 and Life/Death. Releases through key labels Mad Decent's Jeffree's imprint, Soulection and Team Supreme started flowing, as well as the opportunity to perform live live at Coachella and Low End Theory in Los Angeles. In the months since, Mr. Carmack's cult has grown, leading to acclaimed appearances across the globe, yet more perfectly pristine explorations of the spaces between synth-folk, tramp, ambient and beats, and the opportunity to get into the studio with Pharrell, Djemba Djemba and Diplo.
Full lineup to be announced
Tickets available Wednesday, February 1st at 10:00 am:
BampProject.com / JointheRepublik.com / SeeTickets.us / Local Motion Stores / Navy/Hickam ITT Offices / Army LTS Offices / UH Campus Center / The Republik Box Office Tuesday through Friday 10:00am until 6:00pm with a $2.00 service fee per ticket.
