Choose your session by location:
Wed Jan 1 - LYNCHBURG 1:00-2:30pm ET
Sat Jan 4 - ROANOKE 1:00-2:30pm ET
This Qoya-inspired movement session will support you in visualizing, grounding, and embodying your new year intentions. Qoya is a contemplative dance and movement practice that has a very simple goal: embodiment of our wise, wild, and free 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 of $20-40 for a 90-min session. Send your donation to instructor Laura Farmer on Venmo @embodiedhealing to reserve your spot. Questions? Email laurabfarmer@gmail.com
