Will you join us?
In addition to these classes, we’re celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Qoya at this year’s Collective Retreat in Costa Rica (March 23 - 30), where we’ll be dancing with the theme of Celebrating Connection.
For the last 10 years, Qoya has invited women to connect with themselves through movement, to have an embodied experience of their essence as wise, wild and free. From this place of connection with yourself, you're more easily able to connect to others, to nature, to spirit, to life itself!
Because of your journey with Qoya, how are you more deeply connected to your body? How would you like to integrate Qoya in your days, weeks, months, and years to lead a lifestyle of reverence? What is your current relationship to connection and how can you embody it and celebrate it? How has Qoya been a part of the emerging consciousness of our individual and collective transformations that honor the interconnection between all of us?
