With locations on each of our Hawaiian islands with the exception of Ni‘ihau, the Queen Lili‘uokalani Children’s Center directly serves approximately 11,000 children each year, and indirectly serves more than 76,000 additional children through projects and collaborations with other community and interagency partners.

Part 1: Tristhanam and Vinyasa –
The Foundation of Ashtanga Yoga
8 AM-10 AM $25
“Correct asana means correct breathing,
there is no Yoga without vinyasa.”
– Pattabhi Jois
The Ashtanga Yoga method is founded on the techniques of vinyasa and tristhanam. Vinyasa is the application of the breathing/movement system. Tristhanam is the three-part technique of breath/bandhas, gazing, and asana that is implemented throughout practice and is the ground for transformation. Our workshop begins with an in-depth talk on these integral supports followed by a led primary class emphasizing these techniques.

Bring your breakfast! Let’s share food while we Q and A
10:00 AM- 11:00 AM
I travelled to India to study with Sri. K Pattabhi Jois 12 times for 3-6 months at a time. In addition to twice hosting him at my Los Angeles Shala, I also travelled throughout the US to practice with him. Guruji freely spoke and shared on so many aspects and applications of yoga and India’s wisdom traditions. How blessed we were: any yoga question we had, we asked him, and he answered.
1 hr
Part 2: Good Vibrations!
Chanting the Yoga Sutra:
Yoga the Path and the Final Attainment
11:00 AM-12:30 PM $20.00
Following traditional call and response, we will chant the first 16 sutras of the first chapter of this foundational text on Yoga Practice. In discussion, we will illuminate the meaning of these sutras and deepen our understanding of Yoga, mind, and practice.
Pattabhi Jois chanted and shared from the Sutras so often that I was determined to study it so I could better understand him and as well as share his teachings.

Kimberly Flynn (Kiki)
My yoga studies started in 1982 and in 1993 I began my studies with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in his groundbreaking classes in New York City. In 1995 I took the first of a dozen trips to study with him at AYRI in Mysore. My first glimpse into the tiny back shala of his Lakshmi Puram home left an indelible impression. Daily I was overwhelmed by the generosity of his teaching in both his early morning classes as well as his daily afternoon conferences. 15 years ago Guruji sent me off to learn Sanskrit chanting and since that time I have also been a student of Dr. M.A. Jayashree.
1n 1996 I opened Ashtanga Yoga Shala in Los Angeles where I twice hosted Pattabhi Jois. From 2005-2008 I lived and taught in Pahoa at Nicole’s Pahoa Shala as well as in Asia and Europe. In 2008 I returned to New York City where I now teach workshops and teacher trainings locally and globally. In addition to teaching high profile clients like Madonna and Miley Cyrus, I create yoga programming for Spinal Cord Injury, MS and other therapeutic applications. I share wellness and yoga as a blogger and on YouTube as Kiki Says.

These rooted and transient worlds continue to shape Keale's unique Hawaiian music some have come to call “Kanaka Roots.”
