Qoya Inspired Movement is an embodiment practice that weaves together thirteen different pillars to welcome all aspects of ourselves, bringing mind, body, heart and soul into awareness. Qoya classes are a place to strengthen our inherent resilience, rest in our essence and remember we are wise, wild and free. 

It's exclusive to women for my teaching at this time - there is a sanctity required in the space. I blend my love of music (nickname DJ Donna) to the theme, and the music is curated to match the 13 pillars. It's a combination of Yoga, Dance and Sensual Movement - the key is connecting to your body. I have a secret - THERE IS NO WAY TO DO IT WRONG - if it feels good in your body, you are doing it right!.

Why Qoya? It's a way to take a little over an hour and have your world transformed. From breathing exercises, intention setting and even some shadow work - it helps release what we no longer need to hold on to. That is followed by shaking, choreo, free dance and more - raising the energy and leaving you in a great place. Our bodies know a lot more that we are present to, and this is a way to provide it loving care.

What have you got to lose, but some things that you no longer need anyway!

Best compliment after teaching my release class at Sacred Brooklyn Yoga Studio "It was better than going to church for me!".
