Ascend in love is the the enduring theme in my athletics with days beginning with a Sunrise Salute based in yoga, hula, dance, mele oli (song and chant), and meditation all in appreciation of the life and love nurtuing Lā (the sun), hence "yohugadamela" is the fun name for this embrace-today game.  Yummy Kalani breakfast is followed by a one mile ocean swim often with friends, other interests (painting, writing, connecting), volleyball late afternoons, Kalani dining and spa soaking.  Biking (e.g. to see hot lava in Volcanoes National Park, just 10 miles away) and gym training add to the mix.  Performing/teaching modern dance and hula throughout Hawai'i and beyond, including men's and LGBTQ gatherings, and the Gay Games have furthered a career begun in NYC and Paris and advanced with companies and UH (MFA).  I see life as layers of intimate cycling movements and am grateful for many mentors. To dance is to live! - Isadora Duncan
