"We remember that our essence is Wise, Wild and Free!" (Qoya) One thing I've learned over the past few years is that freedom, security, play, and relaxation are necessary to a good life. When I first attended a Qoya class, I was astounded to see that these principles are central to its philosophy. My guest today is Jessi Fiske, leader of Qoya-inspired Movement. She's also an organic farmer, business owner, and herbalist. Qoya is a movement founded by Rochelle Schieck in 2009. Learn more about the classes and the philosophy here. Jessi reminds us that embodiment does not necessarily feel good for everyone all the time, especially when you've been disconnected or in pain for a long time. If you've neglected your body or just the mind-body connection, feeling all of those parts when you have ignored them for so long can be painful. Jessi has a lot of wonderful advice for staying in touch and supporting your body and getting into a space where it feels safe to move your body in dance, and connect to the intuitive essence of being wise, wild, and free!

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 Arts Podcast (you can sign up to the podcast here).

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 & Free. We discuss what this looks like in movement & what qualities it invites us to inhabit through the body About Rochelle Rochelle Schieck loves to move - in her body and around the world.

Have you ever wondered how to connect with your intuition? In today's episode, I talk to Rochelle Schieck, the founder of Qoya, all about just that. In our Qoya practice we say that we remember our true essence, as wise as wild and free. So how does that look for us in reality?Rochelle beautifully explains to us how her love of dance as a child, bringing her catharsis and reconnection, paved the path for Qoya to emerge. We discuss body based intuition and how listening and acknowledging what you hear within your body can lead to alignment and a sensation of truth. Rochelle is truly one of the most inspirational and gracious people I know. I would love to hear your thoughts on today's episode.

It’s Day 4 of the Mentor Masterclass Holiday Challenge Podcast! Today’s featured mentor is the brilliant and insightful Rochelle Schieck. She’s the founder of Qoya, a movement system based on the idea that through movement, we remember. Since its inception in 2009, Rochelle has trained hundreds of Qoya teachers, taught thousands of Qoya movement classes, and led dozens of retreats in the most sacred places on earth. Rochelle has a beautiful intention in mind: to remember, and to help others do the same. Her work has been featured in outlets like New York Magazine, Oprah.com, The Telegraph, and Psychology Today. My conversation with Rochelle gives us a way to be ready for the stresses that the holiday season can sometimes trigger. As Rochelle puts it, sometimes our rich and busy lives can become so crazy during the holiday season that our nervous systems mistakenly go into fight-or-flight mode! Does that hit home for you? It absolutely resonated with me. Rochelle has a way for us to break free of this, and it all comes back to the body. Today she’s showing us how to manage this part of the year with grace and ease. Rochelle is one of the core mentors who teach inside my signature coach training program, Mentor Masterclass. She’s a powerful teacher because she completely understands the struggles of busy women with full lives, who sometimes get overwhelmed by obligations and a culture that urges us to do more, faster, better. But Rochelle guides her clients and our students in Mentor Masterclass as they relax into receiving rather than burning the candle at both ends achieving. She’s amazing, and if you haven’t met her yet, I know you’re going to love her. Listen to today’s episode and be reminded that your body is your guide — and learn how to put that into action!

Here’s some shadow medicine for us all... in this week’s episode of the How To Speak Your Truth podcast I am incredibly honored to be speaking to Rochelle Schieck, founder of Qoya (and extra special guest, her son Desmond!). Qoya is a feminine movement practice based on the premise that through movement we remember our essence. Having danced Qoya for four years, I can say that one of my very favorite parts of a class is to dance the shadow side of the theme. In this episode, Rochelle shares why the shadow is so important and offers a simple movement practice that can help you answer a tough question by going beyond your brain. We also both open up about catching ourself acting in particular ways we don’t like, and how looking at that behavior has helped us grow into more of who we want to be.

Embodying your wisdom. My interview with Rochelle Schieck, creator of Qoya (www.qoya.love). We talk about how important it is to connect with the wisdom of your body and look at rest and recovery through the question: what truly nourishes you?
This show is dedicated to a sense of wholeness, and how we can bring in more of the principles of the divine feminine, or feminine wisdom, into this crazy, mixed-up world we live in. And my oh my, do we need it now more than ever. Where we've disconnected from ourselves, our communities and nature, it's time to turn the tide, and bring in the aspects of the feminine which work to bind our connections to each other, along with our emotional and physical worlds. I'm sharing wisdom from some incredible women, including Mary Portas, with an extract from her recent book 'Work Like a Woman, A Manifesto for Change', as well as quotes from Clarissa Pinkola Estes' seminal work 'Women who Run with the Wolves', as well as a few words from book 'Qoya, A Compass for Navigating and Embodied Life that is Wise', Wild & Free, by the founder of Qoya, Rochelle Schieck. I also share the pillars of feminine wisdom that I live and work with through the strands of life, and invite you to identify how they can be interwoven into your life too. Join me for the first Activate Your Magic online classroom taking place on Wednesday 23rd Jan 7-9pm UK time. We will be Creating 2019 Goals with Soul. Earlybird tickets are available for £29 until Monday 21st Jan. BOOK NOW

Happy Monday, friends! Right this very moment, I'm packing up the car getting ready to head back down south to San Antonio from Wichita Falls, the place I called home for 3 1/2 years and it's been since 2015 that I've been back. I've hardly talked about the fact that I'm a military spouse and the dynamic layer this has added to my life the past 8 years. There have been 3 moves in 5 years and every time we pack up and start over, I leave a piece of my heart behind. It's been so good to be back visiting friends and the trip as a whole has been such a beautiful reflection. How often do you take the time to reflect on how much you've grown, how much you've accomplished, how much has changed in the past few years? And how easy is it for us to lose sight of the person we've become since we left a certain chapter of our lives? We are always in a state of becoming and unbecoming. I know this to be true. And as I was in my old town that held so much growth for me, it reminded me of the power of pilgrimage. The concept of Pilgrimage first came up on my radar reading Rochelle Schieck's book, Qoya, which you can download the first chapter for FREE here. In the book, it talks about going back to the place in which you were born and honoring all the steps and turns that have happened since really practicing reverence for your life path. This is what this trip has been like for me. I went by my old office that housed my first business. I went back to my old workplace where I was an intern. I visited so many friends and drove down streets I must have driven down thousands of times when I lived here. I found myself walking the aisles of our old grocery store that was minutes from our house and it all felt so incredibly normal except everything was different. I was different. I am different. I've become a mother since I left this chapter of my life. I've closed a brick and mortar business and started a virtual one. I've coached hundreds of people since then and led 5 group programs. I've started a podcast and grown it to what it is today. I've bought a house and deepened my marriage. I've maintained every single friendship I began in this place. My energy is different - calmer, stronger, grounded, and truer. I know myself better than I ever have and know my values and beliefs more intimately. I have a vision for my life and the impact I want to make that has more clarity than ever before. Yet, this place grew me. I remember feeling so lost and discontent here wanting so badly to be further than I was and frustrated that I wasn't. I remember being depressed for our first year having just left a beautiful chapter of my life in Charleston. I remember hating being away from the ocean and beautiful scenery I had grown accustomed to. It was hard, but I dug in and what started off being a difficult, trying time turned into one of the most progressive chapters of my life when it comes to personal development. I learned how to be content here, how to be happy within myself, how to keep things in perspective and feel my feelings. I did inner child work and healed some things and realized I was chasing after becoming someone more because I didn't believe I was enough. So many things took root here and blossomed into beauty I couldn't have seen coming. I surrendered. I prayed to God for the first time in years. I handed things over to something higher than myself. I worked on trust and faith and forgiveness. It's amazing to think of all this place held for me and how much those things have continued to grow since then. It's been 2 short years since this place was home and being back here has been such a beautiful reflection of the home I built within me. When's the last time you've gone back and visited an old chapter of your life? Driven by a previous home? Gone by a previous workplace? Made your own pilgrimage and reflected on how much you've grown since then? It's such a powerful way for practicing reverence for who you've become, who you used to be, and the person you're still becoming. So, as I hit the road to head back to my new home, I'm grateful. For all the people who entered my life and are still gratefully in it, for all the trials and tribulations and inner work that led to some beautiful places, for the opportunity to learn so much and grow so much in a far away place that was so different from the home I was used to but became a home I'll always cherish as a powerful, progressive, personally satisfying chapter of my life. I'll see you in a few days for Transformational Thursday! And tell me in the comments about a recent pilgrimage you've had. Did it offer you any reflection? Does this episode inspire you to make a pilgrimage of your own? Talk soon
Rochelle explores movement as medicine, as metaphor, and as prayer. During her interview with Just Stay Curious, Rochelle discusses her “dark night of the soul,” a year of struggling to work through the end of a difficult relationship. She describes her feelings of not feeling worthy, and her realization she was attracted to rejection, as well as her journey to find her own sense of self. She sees her dark night of the soul as a gift she learned from, and thus, doesn’t have to repeat it. She also takes the lessons forward in helping other women heal. Rochelle also shares her pilgrimage to Peru. Q & A Why is self love so important? What was the number one thing that was holding you back from accepting self love? Being busy. I was too tired and too busy to take the time. Who is one person who has changed your life for the better? In this moment, I am really grateful for Danielle LaPorte. What is the best advice you have ever received? A dear friend of mine was talking about fear. She said, “On the other side of it is always love. You just have to go through it.” What is a self care habit that you practice regularly? A bath at the end of the day, with Epsom salts, essential oils, and a good book. Do you have a favorite quote? What you look for is what you see. Can you share with us a resource or an app that we can use to help our own self care practice grow? I love Oracle cards. My favorite cards are from Alana Fairchild. You can also get apps that have Oracle card. What book are you reading right now? Entangled by Graham Hancock What is the one thing that you are most passionate about? Elevating the feminine to her rightful place. Guest Bio Rochelle Schieck is the founder of Qoya.

Qoya has come up on the podcast many times and it’s had a profound impact on my life, so I’m really excited to share this conversation with you. We talked about learning to trust our bodies, healing from heartache, balancing our masculine and feminine energies, and what you can expect in a Qoya class.
"Instead of learning how to do Qoya, it’s more like unlearning all the things that tell you that you don’t innately know how to move your own body." - Rochelle Schieck Learn more about Hello Freedom at https://terricole.com/47
On today’s show we are going to talk about a very special form of movement that address our root cravings for movement. I talk about the four root causes of our cravings, what we want, how we relate to food and our bodies. That is bacterial, nutritional, emotional and physical. I’m going to be talking to Rochelle Schieck, the founder of Qoya dance. Qoya dance is a freeform, feminine dance class. I took my first dance class last summer with one of my friends. I invited some lady friends over and we had a dance class up on my roof deck which was so cool, under the moon and the sun was going down. It was so fun! It was this totally freeform, emotional, liberating, grounding, incredible movement experience! It reminded me of how much our bodies want to move and need to move for us to feel good. We really do crave movement! Sadly, most of us have an f’ed up relationship with exercise and movement because it’s something we should do. We live in this masculine mindset about exercise that we should power through or push ourselves. Unfortunately, this can lead to total burnout! Movement has such an impact on our mood and well-being. I know you want to feel good in your body at every age and at every size. It’s hard to motivate yourself to exercise in a painful or boring way. Your body and soul really crave experience that’s filled with play and fun and intention and leaves you enlivened and not depleted. In our interview, Rochelle is an author of a brand new book called “Qoya: a compass for navigating an embodied life that is wise, wild and free”. Rochelle loves to move. She started dancing as a little girl growing up in Minnesota until she moved on to her hero’s journey to her calling and her love of movement and her willing to explore compelled her to spend fifteen years exploring the world. As a teacher and a student all over the world she began instructing yoga styles for all ages and abilities, different dance modalities and in the last ten years she has led over 4000 movement classes! She has facilitated hundreds of private sessions and takes women on over twenty retreats on six continents. Not Antarctica yet! Her passion to explore the emerging essence of the feminine in her own life, then in movement coupled with her experience as a personal trainer, massage therapist, energy healer has all influenced her creation of this movement system: Qoya. You can read the full show notes here.
I met Rochelle at a Qoya (dance) class that she lead during her visit to Boulder last spring. Her sensual, fierce vibrancy touched me deeply, and I invited her here to share her embodied wisdom with us. Rochelle recounts the tale of her own Heroine's Journey, and what it's been like for her to "go against the grain" in order to follow her heart and create her life's work. She speaks of opening to the power of "Mother energy" (even when one doesn't choose to birth children), the importance of getting into one's body, and a hard lesson she learned that led her to finally trust herself. In closing, Rochelle gives succinct instruction for how to reach out for divine guidance. Join us to celebrate the full spectrum of our womanhood and allow Rochelle's story to inspire you to follow your own precious heart. Rochelle Schieck is the founder of Qoya, a movement system based on the idea that through movement, we remember. We remember our essence is wise, wild, and free.

In Feb 2015, I did a 5-day symposium consisting of 25 interviews with powerful and inspiring women sharing their stories and advice for transcending life’s struggles, fears and doing it their own way. We got so much incredible feedback on the interviews, we decided to turn it into a podcast. At times during the interviews when you hear us refer to the series or interviews that have already been done, keep in mind these interviews have been repurposed and may not follow the original order – but stay tuned because we’ll be airing two each month alternating with fresh new episodes called “Ask Liz” every Wednesday. Back in 2013 when I was studying sensual movement as part of developing Wild Soul Movement, my friend Kate Northrup introduced me to today’s guest, Rochelle Schieck, founder and creator of Qoya. About Rochelle: Rochelle Schieck loves to move- in her body and around the world. She started dancing as a young girl growing up in Minnesota until she was summoned by the call of adventure. Her love of movement and the desire to explore life’s meaning compelled her to spend the last 10+ years traveling around the world as a student and teacher to places throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, India, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Rochelle began instructing various yoga styles for all ages and abilities, several dance modalities and NIA. She has led over 4,000 movement classes and facilitated hundreds of private sessions. On a strong hit of intuition, she decided to move to New York City to enroll in a women’s empowerment program subtitled The Pleasure Revolution; this further inspired her study of the divine feminine, sensuality, and other womanly arts. This coupled with her experience as a personal trainer, certified massage therapist, shamanic energy healer and her degree in Interdisciplinary Fine Arts have all influenced her creation of the movement system, Qoya. In this episode Rochelle walks us through: 1.How to get information and feedback for your life using your emotions 2.Honoring your masculine and feminine energies and why both are useful 3.How to cultivate deep trust in yourself to worry less and experience more abundance in your life.
