WHAT is QOYA?
Qoya is a holistic practice for women incorporating the wisdom of Yoga, the freedom of dance & the wildness to enjoy being in our feminine body.
Qoya was developed by dancer, Yoga teacher and soul searcher Rochelle Schieck as a movement practice to empower women to get out of their heads and into their heart and bodies. The ethos of Qoya is that through our body’s movement we access the wisdom of our heart and soul. Through intention setting, breath awareness, movement, ritual & community connection, we learn to trust the physical sensation of truth in our bodies.
THE GIFT of QOYA
Our body is a compass by which we navigate our journey to the portal of our soul. We remember that our essence as women is Wise, Wild & Free.
WISE
The wisdom that comes from Yoga & conscious movement; breathing & intention.
“I am a wise woman who knows what path to take, who trusts herself, & sees the truth through the eyes of love. So are you”.
WILD
Being wild meaning to be untamed, to be free to dance with wild abandon.
“I am a wild woman who thrives as she creatively expresses herself, offering her unique gifts to the world. So are you”.
FREE
Free to express oneself authentically & safely; to experience pleasure in feminine movement.
“I am a free woman, unbound & limitless in my capacity to revel in & receive pleasure. So are you”.
Rochelle Schieck
A QOYA CLASS
Each class has a theme that is embodied, music to set your soul on fire, dance & yoga, breathing, rest, sharing & an oracle card reading.
Sacred space is set so all women feel safe and nurtured. Examples of themes include:
- Embrace the Unknown
- Ecstatic Authenticity
- Free to Thrive
- Sahaja – Oneness
- Love Thyself
- Rise and Shine
While the theme for each Qoya session changes there are 13 pillars which we always journey through:
- Creating Sacred Space
- Welcome – sharing the theme, oracle card reading
- Breathing while setting an intention
- Circling the body to embrace fluidity
- Heart opening – moving from the heart with love and wisdom
- Hip opening – sensual and feminine movement
- Yoga – offering your yoga as prayer
- Shadow – honouring the wholeness of you
- Shaking as a portal back to spirit
- Choreographed Dance for sheer fun & to increase the mind/body connection
- Free Dance – authentic and creative expression
- Community Sharing – women being heard in a safe & sacred community
- Stretching and final relaxation – integrating your Qoya journey through stillness
