What does "Kelani" mean?
The word Kelani is the combination of 2 names - Keona (God's gracious gift) and Leilani (Heavenly flower). These are the names of two people who inspired the owner of Studio Kelani to open her business - her daughters.

Why Pilates & Polynesian Movements?
Common to Pilates and Polynesian dancing is their utilization of the ‘core’ muscles (these muscles are the main support of the body and are responsible for initiating movement). A lack of core development can result in the prevalence to injury. The basis of the fusion classes offered by Studio Kelani is – through combining these two disciplines- creating a physically and mentally fulfilling experience.
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a method of exercise and movement developed by Joseph Pilates, which emphasizes the development of the body through core strength, flexibility and awareness and designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance the body
What is Polynesia?
