2023 Qoya Classes:
“Grounded in Times of Change” - A special offering for the solar eclipse
Sat Oct 14: 10:00-11:30am EST
This virtual Qoya class is inspired by the current astrology - a solar eclipse in Libra. We’ll spend a few moments at the beginning of class discussing primary themes and then we will share in Qoya-inspired movement with the intention of grounding to support us through this energy portal.
Qoya is a contemplative dance and movement practice that has a very simple goal: embodiment of our essence as human beings. It includes elements of mindfulness, yoga, therapeutic movement, and expressive dance. Qoya is movement as medicine.
No dance experience necessary, just a love of movement, stretching, and community! Please bring a yoga mat and water bottle to use during the class. Sliding scale donation of $10-30. Send donations to instructor Laura Farmer on Venmo @embodiedhealing to reserve your spot. Questions? Email laurabfarmer@gmail.com
