Business Owner

Pohina began taking hula lessons from her mother, a hula teacher, after the family moved to Houston, Texas in 1982. These informal lessons eventually grew into a deep love of Hawaiian dance and culture.

Pohina currently studies hula with Kumu Hula Keli’i Chang’s Halau Ho’ola Ka Mana O Hawai’i in Houston, TX. She has also studied with Kumu Hula Paul Ho’omanawanuiikana’auao Apo (Honolulu, HI), Joyce Flaugher in San Antonio, TX, Kumu Hula Ellen Gay Delarosa (Polynesian Cultural Center), Kumu Hula Keith Awai (Polynesian Cultural Center), and Kumu Hula Lorraine Daniels (Magic Hula Studios).
