Hello beautiful, Happy end-of-Quarter One, almost-April, end of Ramadan and soon to be Easter if you celebrate! Music lovers might want to observe Piano Day on March 29th, and March 31st is Transgender Day of Visibility It is a scary time for transgender people, a vulnerable minority, to be visible and so many feel unsafe, but it is a beautiful opportunity to show your love, acceptance & support! When scheduling with me and attending classes or sessions online, keep in mind that we will "spring forward" to Central European Summer Time in Germany THIS WEEKEND, March 30th. For example, my online Yummy Gentle Yoga will be offered at same time this zone, 7:00pm CST, but as a result will be earlier in HI after the time change, 7:00am HST (later in winter time since HI has no daylight savings time, check your zone). A few exciting events ahead for me in Quarter Two are traveling to the US in mid-April to May to see one of my favorite cities, Portland, Oregon, and to visit my parents in my hometown of Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i. Stay tuned for associated updates to my teaching schedule, and special events during the trip and when I return to Cologne, including emceeing another ballet, special workshops and new class sessions starting. On the blog and in my video this week, I'm sharing my monthly completion process for February, including important events, favorite experiences, and choice media: Read the February was for Demonstrating & Dancing article here My other creations, recommendations, and questions for you are: Viewing:

Hello beautiful, Ah, there truly is no place like home! It was such a treat to participate in World Tai Chi Day, witness WHDT's "The Wizard of Oz Ballet," and host my new Fine Feedback workshop here in Kona for student and emerging choreographers and dancers. We have also been hitting the beach, visiting with neighbors, touristing around, star and bird-watching and helping out my folks. On May Day itself, we were exploring the splendid Hamakua Coast beaches, gulches, and waterfalls on the way...
Hello beautiful, We had a magical time visiting Portland, Oregon, and it is good to see my family on the Big Island. So grateful to be in beloved places with treasured people, and definitely want to return sooner next time!
