What is Qoya?
Qoya (pronounced Koy-a) is a free dance embodiment class for women, regardless of gender assigned at birth.
It is designed to help you get out of your head and into your body.
To feel instead of think
To explore different ways of moving your body
To find the sweet spots, where it feels so good
To connect with women from your community
To raise each other up and empower each other
To share and connect in a safe space without judgement or shame
To come as you are and leave as more of yourself
To find the power within you
The strength
The wisdom
The wildness
The freedom
It's all there, in each and every one of us. And Qoya can help you to discover it.
There are no levels in Qoya and no way to do it wrong. The way you know you are doing it right is that it feels good to you. It feels true.
Classes for Adults are offered weekly in Thornbury, Gisborne, St Kilda and Sunbury and fortnightly on Zoom.

Qoya for Teens classes have 11 distinct parts, each with its own song. We start with the welcome and the picking of an oracle card followed by a guided meditation, then start to move gently by circling through each part of the body, opening our hearts, yoga as prayer, shadow contrast dance, shaking, choreographed dance, free dance, stretching, relaxation and then journaling at the end. I guide you through each part, but my guides are only an invitation, the idea is to move in the way that feels best to you. It is YOUR class. YOUR body. YOUR choice.
