Qoya: Yoga as Prayer (Live Your Life with Devotion)

Qoya is based on the idea that through movement, we remember. We remember our essence is inherently wise, wild and free.
Using movement as metaphor and infusing movement with meaning, the words wise, wild, and free also draw reference to the movement forms we practice.
Wise - calling on the wisdom of yoga
Wild - evoking our creativity and authentic expression through dance
Free - expanding our capacity to enjoy being in our body through sensual movement
Through movement, we remember those things that can never be put into words. When you see a sunset, and your whole body exhales. When you feel the thrill of adventure as you get in your car and hit the open road. When you get caught up in the contagious laughter of a child. When you feel the warmth of your lover's body in bed. When you feel a sense of earnest fulfillment doing your soul work in the world. Or when you catch up with a dear friend and at the end of the conversation, you really feel like everything is going to be okay. These moments most often happen when we switch from going through motions of just getting through the day into the realm of the embodied presence.
In Qoya movement, there is no way you can do it wrong and the way you know you are doing it right is that it feels good to you. More than feeling good, that it feels honest. That it feels true.
Qoya is designed to help you remember the physical sensation of truth in your body and reclaim your inner knowing, intuition and instincts so that you let that feeling of truth in your body be north on your compass as you let your body guide you through your daily life on your soul's journey.
