pay what you can, pay it forward for those who cannot
This event sponsored by Maui Mindful Movement in partnership with the Maui Strong Fund and Hawai'i Community Foundation.
In this fun class, Keiki explore introductory aerial arts and acrobatics. They step into strength and coordination building. Through tumbling and movement games, they learn to work with their bodies to build new skills. Keiki will have fun while learning and facing challenges together. Parents can enjoy a gentle yoga class upstairs while keiki take this class downstairs. It's a family affair!

Maui Access to Mindful Movement (MAMM) seeks to spread awareness of, and access to, the physical, mental, emotional and social benefits of group practices such as martial arts, yoga, cultural movement, dance, and nature immersion. MAMM’s mission is to show more Maui residents how mindful movement isn't just physical fitness; it's a catalyst for unlocking one’s potential through focus, awareness, and self-regulation. It is an opportunity for social interaction in an environment of discipline, shared principles and common goals. These community activities can be deeply therapeutic. They bring us out of isolation and give us safe space to move together. When we move with intention, breathe in rhythm, and grow together, something more than physical well being happens – fear transforms into courage, isolation into belonging, and trauma into resilience. Blending physical activity with mental presence, helps us calm compulsiveness and mindfully channel our energy; developing healthier social interactions and family dynamics. MAMM seeks to bring mindful movement to more Maui families.
