About this course
Welcome to Movement with Gratitude! Qoya is the feminine mindful movement that unifies practices to bring more of who you are into the present moment. Gratitude is the theme of this series. In Lesson 2 to 6 - Iga introduces you to 10 Qoya practices. When you have 1 hour, you are invited to do all the practices in a sequence to go on a journey deep into yourself. And when you have 5 to 10 minutes - pick one or two.
Intention setting allows the intention for the movement in the present moment to come to you spontaneously. The invitation is to open your mind and heart to receive it. With the help of noticing your breath and a gentle movement, you can call in what wants to be danced with as your intention.
Heart opening is an invitation to allow yourself to be guided by your heart, to listen to how it wants to be expressed through your body, to open your physical and energetic hearts to feel as much as you can. Hip opening is an invitation to allow your hips to guide you, to slow down, to feel more sensual and pleasurable movement in your body, to let go of control and to fully trust that your body got you.
Yoga as prayer is an invitation to remember that you can pray with your movement and that you can be divinely supported in moving your body with intention. Shadow contrast dance is a very important part of the puzzle, without noticing more challenging, uncomfortable feelings and learning from them, how can you fully be you? You cannot skip the darker, more shadowy parts of yourself. The more you push them down, they come back with double force, so that you finally give them your attention. You are perfectly imperfect just the way you are.
Shaking is a great practice to do anytime you feel you need to release any old, uncomfortable, heavy or angry energy from your body. Also in the heightened moments of stress, no music needed, just listen to what needs to be shaken to release what no longer serves and blocks you from moving forward. Free Dance is time to unleash your freedom. Enjoy and let your body guide you any way it wants to move, in the moment.
In stretching with reflection you are invited to ask yourself how can you bring more gratitude into your daily life? And integrate the other Qoya practices (if you did them in a sequence), unwind and give your muscles some tender loving care. Rest can be practised any time of the day, as it serves as an ultimate relaxation. Gift yourself space to be fully present with you, without any distractions.

COURSE SUMMARY
Benefits of Intention setting: it can help you to be more present, to tune into your intuition and get more clarity.
Benefits of Heart opening: it helps you to come into, be more aware, feel, listen to your heart and to follow it.
Benefits of hip opening: trusting your own instinct more and allowing yourself to be less controlling, more flowing, to reclaim your power by experiencing pleasure as your birthright, feeling more and being more in your body.
Benefits of Yoga as prayer: being more present and aligned with what your heart truly desires and by allowing the intention to fill your whole being – your body, mind and heart.
Benefits of Shadow contrast dance: it can give you insights that no other practice can give. It is a gift, if you open yourself to receive its wisdom. Approach it with with love and tenderness, let yourself feel it all to heal it all.
Shaking benefits: it can help with noticing how you feel and being in the present moment - releasing, letting go of what no longer serves you; embodying radiance and vibrancy that is always there - feeling increased energy, vitality and mental clarity.
Free Dance benefits: self-expression - untamed energy of your truth can surface and run free, it can also give a sense of lightness and freedom.
Benefits of stretching with reflection: flexibility, access to your wisdom and clarity of what to invite more of into your daily life. And if done with other Qoya practices – it allows for integration of what came up for you to see and give more attention to.
Benefits of Rest: giving yourself time to unwind and relax fully into the present moment, helps de-stress and revitalise, so that you are nourished from inside out.
