Hawaiian Sacred Hula
The Ancient Dance of the Heart
Like a Breath of Life Exquisitely Embodied
and Expressed in Patterns of Movement
EXPERIENCE THE BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE WORLD OF ANCIENT HAWA'I
AND THEIR SYSTEM OF LIVING CALLED ALOHA,
THROUGH THEIR ANCIENT FORM OF STORYTELLING
AND SACRED DANCE - HAWAIIAN HULA
WITH ITS ROOTS GOING BACK TO ANCIENT TIMES,
HULA IS THE LIVING HISTORY OF THE HAWAIIAN PEOPLE
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE HAWAIIAN CULTURE
HULA IS:
-
therapeutic and sacred dance, with its movements helping you to discover how your body wants to move and low with the natural rhythm of Nature
-
an energy dance, similar to Tai Chi, bringing your energy body and your body, mind and spirit into a calm and balanced place
-
a spiritual practice, in experiencing the beauty of these ancient chants and the frequency and vibration in the sacred words as a "Living Language" of Positivity, Love, Acceptance and Gratitude, to live a life filled with wonder, rapture - and love for yourself and the world around you
-
an ancient form of storytelling and the living history of the Hawaiian culture, with the opportunity to come to know and respect who the Hawaiian people are and the world they have lived in for so many generations.

With living now in Spartanburg SC, she is sharing them here for you to experience.
AS YOUR HULA INSTRUCTOR, KALEO IS PASSIONATE ABOUT BRINGING WHAT ARE PRICELESS TEACHINGS IN OUR MODERN WESTERN WORLD TO YOU HERE who do not have the opportunity to go to Hawai’i and receive them from Master Teachers there – and to make them affordable to you.
THERE IS ALSO A PRIVATE HULA 'OHANA (COMMUNITY) WITH THE HALAU HULA PU'UWAI O ALOHA (A School of Traditional Hawaiian Hula)
It is for any wahine (woman) who is serious and committed to a more in depth study of the Hawaiian culture and Living Aloha through Hula. Under the direction and steerage of Kaleo Wheeler, she navigates the Hula Haumana (students) in their Hula Wa'a (canoe). We each sit firmly in our place in the wa'a, paddling the waters of life together through weekly classes, access to the library of hulas taught (words, translation, interpretation, music, videos), a private Facebook group, and first choice and discounts for all workshops, retreats and private sessions.
KALEO WHEELER IS THE DIRECTOR AND INSTRUCTOR OF THE HALAU HULA PU'UWAI O ALOHA.
She has lived and studied with Master Teachers in Hawai’i since the late 80’s and has an extensive background in the Hawaiian Culture and Hula as Ancient Storytelling. As a Spiritual Thought Leader and Speaker/Storyteller, she offers learning opportunities to understand and respect the Hawaiian people and their culture and lifestyle and how it can help us in today's world to maintain harmony and balance in all our relationships - with our heart, mind and spirit, the sacred land and the human family.

Testimonials
Dr. Jane Smolnik Boyd,
Naturopath at Ultimate Healing, Asheville NC
I was thrilled to discover the beauty and sacredness of the Hawaiian Hula and it’s traditions! It is like a moving, flowing, dancing meditation, honoring Life, Love and the Great Spirit. Kaleo is a wonderful dedicated teacher with much passion for sharing the tradition with the stories, chants, and beautiful dance. I want to keep learning more hulas as each seems to be more beautiful and inspiring!
Patricia,

Learning to live Aloha has brought profound changes to my life, within a very short time. The Hawaiian Hula is grounding and balancing to the mind and body - many physical "aches and pain" have been greatly reduced. My self esteem has increased. Hula is supportive of curvaceous femininity. I have made peace with my body, finally. My health and body image are improving day by day. Experiencing Hula under the direction of Hula Instructor, Kaleo has definitely enhanced my life’s journey.

Hula connects its dancers to music, earth, the present, the past and to each other. it's a way to build body confidence without changing a thing about you...to feel indescribably beautiful in a wholesome natural way...with love and respect as the foundation.
