GETTING TO KNOW

Sarah Sadie

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU TO TEACH QOYA?

Teaching Qoya is a profound invitation for me, in each class, to step into a deeper relationship with a lineage of women who were and are wise, wild, and free in their lives and life expression. Holding space for other women to experience Qoya, to learn to trust the structure of the class even as they also learn (again) to trust their body's wisdom, is such a deep honor. We are doing healing work as we circle together. We are doing celebratory work as we "slow down to feel more." We are birthing and dancing love into the world. We are Qoya.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE WHO IS FEELING INSPIRED TO TRY QOYA FOR THE FIRST TIME?

You will be so welcome, no matter your history of dance classes, no matter if you can nail a yoga pose (I can't), no matter where you are in your life. One of the participants in a recent class said "Qoya is self-care." I totally agree.

Oh, and I cover the mirrors completely. It's all about how it feels, not how it looks.
