In-Person Classes & Retreats

Qoya is based on the idea that

through movement we remember

 

We remember our essence is wise, wild and free.

Wise: calling on the wisdom of yoga.

Wild: the creative expression in dance.

Free: expanding our capacity to enjoy being in

our bodies through feminine movement.

 

Qoya is a movement practice specifically designed to help women feel good in their bodies.

It’s for women of all ages, body types and levels of movement experience.

In Qoya, there is no way you can do it wrong and the way you know you’re doing it right is that it feels good.

 

More than feeling good, it feels honest, resonant, and true.

Qoya helps us access the physical sensation of truth in the body.

 

 

Can you remember a time when you just knew something was true in your body?  You knew it like you knew the sun would rise tomorrow.  You could feel it in your bones.  Once you feel that connection to yourself through your body, the invitation is to set that feeling as North on your compass.  You practice this feeling, this sensation of authenticity and resonance, not just for an hour long experience in a Qoya class, but so that you can deeply trust yourself, and the feeling of truth in your body, as you navigate the journey that is your life.   The actual class is done while having an amazing time dancing, sweating, stretching, yoga-ing and connecting to other women with some inspiring music to help guide the journey along.

…and Qoya isn’t just about movement

 It is an invitation into a lifestyle of reverence… and includes movement as well as music, ritual, pilgrimage and more.

Qoya classes, workshops and retreats are always held in a circle of women.

There are opportunities for introspection and intention setting, opportunities to share with like-minded women on the path, opportunities to connect with the elements of life and creativity.

Before you can hear, much less follow, the voice of your soul, you have to win back your body. You have to go on a pilgrimage beneath the skin.
