Yess Yoga on Saturday at 9am

Dear KatoQoya Community, I turned 49 this week. I went from wanting someone else to clean my house to being grateful that I am able bodied enough to clean my own house. I heard the quote today about why we travel; not for new surroundings but for new eyes. This week has been an adventure and it's no...

Yoga with us for a simple yet just-the-right-amount-of-challenging yoga practice, blending mindful movement with pranayama breathwork to center and energize.

We’re thrilled to welcome a special guest—my dear friend and experienced yoga teacher visiting from Brazil—who will be joining us for this session and sharing her vibrant energy and unique perspective.

Following the yoga practice, we’ll transition into a somatic Qoya Inspired Movement experience designed to awaken your lifeforce energy and reconnect you with your body’s innate wisdom. It’s a beautiful opportunity to move, breathe, and be in community.

Blessings + Yoga on Saturday

Dear KatoQoya Community, I love the tradition of saying grace. Whether said before meals at a table, over a fire, with forks, chopsticks or bare hands, humans of all times and places have felt the need to say thanks for what they are about to eat. We didn't consistently say grace at my house growing...

This Thursday! Join me for this mindful movement exercise!

Love Donation accepted- All proceeds go to the sustainability of the Hope Interfaith Center

I am excited to gather in the Great Room for an hour of movement at the Hope Interfaith Center on Thursday, October 23 from 7:00 pm-8:00 pm where we will move together with the theme: Wild.
Qoya Inspired Movement is based on the idea that through movement, you remember your true essence is, like nature, Wise, Wild and Free.
Wise draws reference to ancient practices like yoga, meditation, stillness and breathwork;

Wild refers to the creative expression that comes through dancing or from simply moving your body;

Free refers to freeing your movement to slow down and match your body's pace.

The invitation for our time together on Thursday evening, October 23 will be to explore the way it feels in your body when you connect with the Wild part of yourself through mindful movement.

If you feel called to this work, please join us for this somatic movement opportunity and find out what happens when your connection to the Wild part of yourself becomes your dance partner.
