Movement to Free the Body & The Mind

Qoya is a movement practice inspired by Rochelle Schieck’s lived experiences as a dancer, yoga teacher and devotee to Andean wisdom traditions.  Qoya combines dance, yoga, community and ceremonial opportunities to invoke the body as compass and be led by the wisest truth as it lives in our bones.  Qoya is an opportunity to move and to be moved.

~Open to All~

Qoya is based on the idea that through movement, we remember. We remember our essence is Wise, Wild, and Free.
~Rochelle Schieck

There is a force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results.
~Mahatma Gandhi 

We should consider every day lost in which we have not danced at least once.
~Fredrich Nietzsche

Dance makes everything better.
~Rochelle Schieck
