Qoya founder Rochelle Schieck will lead two workshops and a teacher initiation in Asheville at the Town and Mountain Training Center July 16 and 17. See below for details.
Pronounced COY-uh, Qoya means “queen” in Quechuan, a pre-Incan language in what’s now Peru.
Qoya is “movement medicine,” says one Asheville-area teacher, Virginia Rosenberg.
Another local teacher, Sacred Seduction author Kitty Cavalier, says, “Qoya is a spiritual temple, a shamanic journey and the dance party you have always dreamed of. It is communing with the very throb and heartbeat of life through your very own skin and bones.”
Here’s the info on the workshops and teacher initiation:
In this workshop, Qoya founder Rochelle Schieck will lead an immersive two-hour Qoya class and then share three essential tools to access the wisdom of the body to help tell the truth faster. Participants can expect to remember their essences as wise, wild and free, connect with inspiring women, and strengthen their commitment to living life in a way that resonates.
