Recaka Personal Training

ronaldgilliam — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 03:09:41 +0000

Training sessions with Recaka occur in a natural environment free of loud music, grunting gym brats, and pressure to look beautiful while you sweat! Recaka Training is part of a increasing trend in the United States that aims to move exercise—especially resistance training—outside of the gym. Ronald uses equipment suited for the outdoors such as resistance bands, swiss balls, and the natural weight of the client. Let us prove to you results can be seen outside of the sterile gym atmosphere!

More information on Personal Training with Ronald can be found on the Recaka.com website.

Note: Recaka will be closed until January 2013 as Ronald completes his doctoral fieldwork in China.

Recaka Yoga

ronaldgilliam — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 03:06:22 +0000

Recaka is a private yoga practice with the goal of helping our students explore and incorporate yoga into their daily lives. Ronald provides one-on-one and small group classes in order to foster a deeper teacher-student relationship. The word recaka means “exhalation” in Sanskrit and is considered part of pranayama, or “breath control.” According to the yoga sutras, asana and pranayama are the highest aspects of balancing the body and mind. In addition to asana practice, Recaka Yoga incorporates instruction in pranayama as well.

More information on private and group classes with Ronald can be found on the Recaka.com website.

Note: Recaka will be closed until January 2013 as Ronald completes his doctoral fieldwork in China.

Borderline

conceived by NoExit Performance
directed by Ronald Gilliam

May 14, 15, 19, 21, 23, 2010

Venue: Ong King Arts Center, Honolulu Hawaiʻi

Borderline was not easy to stage, direct, perform or interpret, yet these qualities are reasons why this production compelled me. Two unknown women, who are confined to chairs, revisit moments of their past with the goal of reaching a state of peacefulness and balance. Despite knowing nothing about them, we were asked to listen and interpret their stories. The performance was not linear and often used interruption and fragmentation to halt an empathetic response, thus hoping audiences concentrate on the situation rather than a mere emotional reaction. With each performance, the script carried audience members through a poetic journey where emotions and desires of the present precipitated memories from the past.
