Through movement we remember our essence. 

Qoya Inspired Movement calls on

Wise: the wisdom of yoga, meditation, stillness, and deep listening

Wild: the wild, creative, and authentic expression of dance

Free: the freedom of intuitive movement to choose what feels true for you

Qoya helps us remember those things that can never be put into words.

Like when you see a sunset and your whole body exhales. When you are on a road trip and feeling the sensation of adventure. When you get caught up in the contagious laughter of a child or catch up with an old friend and at the end of the conversation you really feel like everything is going to be ok.  Qoya is designed to feel how the body and movement are a portal to remembering, to feel our perspective shift from going through the motions to savoring life as sacred.

"I can't believe what a difference taking Qoya with Cara has made in my life. Each day, I seem to have more energy, inspiration, and motivation. After just two classes, my physical and mental health are already so much better. I feel like a more vibrant and peaceful version of myself. And Cara is the sweetest teacher; she shows up so authentically and takes time to put in the special details that make each class even more memorable."  - S

“What a beautiful experience Cara! You truly have a gift. Thank you for creating such a warm and inviting space. I had some big 'aha's' for sure.  Just wanted to share how special your work is!”  -K.

Qoya is a movement practice based on the idea that through movement we remember.  We remember that our essence is wise, wild, and free.

With a combination of dance, yoga, intuitive movement, relaxation, and community connections, you'll slow down and feel, sweat, play, and have fun! You'll experience the physical sensation of truth in your body and gain the confidence and clarity to follow it. 

In Qoya, there is no way you can do it wrong and the way you know you're doing it right is when it feels good!
