S8E4 - From Linear Time to Sacred Time with Qoya Founder Rochelle Schieck

The single biggest hurdle to doing more embodied movement
practice, for me personally, is the tight grip of urgency I often
feel around time.


Today on the podcast, I’m chatting with Rochelle Schieck, founder
of the Qoya movement method. A big part of our conversation is
exploring how we unwind the urgency of linear time &
use the body as a portal to soul time.


Rochelle & I have very different felt experiences of this
shift away from urgent-linear-time into expansive-soul-time. I’m
curious if you’ll relate to either or perhaps experience it in
another way.


This conversation is part of our Embodied
Movement series on Season 8 of the School of Embodied

A simple foundation Qoya exercise to bring more aliveness
into the body

What is “Embodied Presence,” and how can we awaken to it?

The role of the “Sacred Witness” in Qoya

We speak about the role of cultivating, titration &
pendulation between vulnerability & pleasure

Moving from linear time to sacred time. Rochelle & Jenna
share their experiences of what it feels like.

Rochelle expands on the key principles of Qoya - Wise, Wild
