Kelani with Hannah

Ioana - wife and mother of three daughters who she repeatedly refers to as her inspiration- is the founder and president of KELANI® international. She created and began developing KELANI® in 2007. The word KELANI® is a derivative of her older girls' names: Keona, which means God’s gracious gift in Hawaiian and Leilani, which means heavenly flower in Hawaiian. In April of 2008 she opened her own boutique holistic fitness studio in downtown Windsor called Studio Kelani, Pilates and Polynesian Movements. She owned and operated her studio until July of 2013 after which she decided to close her physical doors to focus full time on developing and spreading the wings of her KELANI® brand. Ioana is a direct descendant of the troupe members of ‘The Royal Polynesian Revue’ - a world famous Polynesian group. In 2007 she decided to follow in their footsteps while adding a contemporary flare to traditional Polynesian dancing- hence the birth of KELANI®. In December of 2010 she proudly released her first KELANI ®DVD which was filmed on an island. You can learn More about Iona and Kelani at www.kelaniworld.com
