Ecstatic Dance Honokaa - Dj Danny Waddell & Yoga By Diana Hahn

Facilitator Information - Danny Waddell

Danny  Waddell is a seasoned DJ and event producer who made Hawai‘i his home  in 2014 after spending a decade in Orlando, Florida, and growing up in  Atlanta, Georgia. He also happens to be one part of the creative team  that hosts the current iteration of Ecstatic Dance Honoka‘a events.

Danny’s  journey as a DJ started nearly three decades ago. He cut his teeth in  the Atlanta rave scene during the 90s, refined and honed his skills in  the Orlando club circuit in the 2000s and 2010s.

In  2019 he felt an internal shift towards the art form of constructing  Ecstatic Dance sets. Since then, he has immersed himself in the world of  conscious and global dance music. His sets are not bound by genre; they  are guided by the intention of exploring humanity, empathy, and the  full spectrum of emotions.

YOGA: Diana Hahn

Diana  Hahn found asana, mindfulness, and breath in 2006. She has cultivated  joy and gratitude, practicing vinyasa, ashtanga, and restorative yoga  through injuries, pregnancies, births, deaths, and rebirths of mind,  body, and spirit.

Her  practice includes alignment, flow, turning mind off and  body/heart/breath on, playing the edge, backing away from it, dialing  the heat up, dialing it down, and sinking into a good, long savasana.  Diana currently cultivates a home practice and teaches occasionally on  Hawaiʻi Island.You can find her at https://www.dianahahn.com/yoga.
