Koya’s book led me to GetLovedUp yoga teacher training. As a fifty-year-old attorney with a history of diabetes and a beginning practitioner, I just wanted to learn basic yoga. I signed up for 100-hour training. Then 200 hours. Then 300 hours. Then 500 hours. Koya’s instruction, her network of practitioners, and the GetLovedUp resources were exceptional. I couldn’t get enough.
IN A CRISIS, AND TURNED TO GETLOVEDUP YOGA AND MEDITATION.
A few weeks into my GetLovedUp yoga teacher training, I experienced a family health crisis. I was overwhelmed with thoughts of gloom and doom. Then, I stopped. I remembered our training. I engaged in the meditation we learned — “breath of fire.” Then I took out my yoga mat and began the GetLovedUp flow. My anxiety lessened. I began to see other possibilities. My family experienced a much better outcome than initially expected. GetLovedUp yoga and meditation helped me through one of the worst times in my life. And Koya was compassionate and super supportive. This is a transformative program.

Deciding to join the get loved up community has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. I’ve never been more welcomed and never felt like I so easily fit in. Koya has been the greatest teacher that I could’ve asked for. She’s passionate, insanely helpful, and extremely wise. She’s everything I could’ve asked for when it comes to picking my teacher. She really makes you want to get up and come to class because you know you will enjoy it and learn so much. I would take this course over and over for eternity and still enjoy it every day. I still have so much to learn and I will continue to further my education through get loved up hands down.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#fdeef3″ z_index=”” el_class=”testimonials_content_area” css=”.vc_custom_1565292491799{background-color: #fdeef3 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” el_class=”testimonials-item-holder”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

The Get Loved Up Yoga Teacher training was just what I was looking for in a YTT program. At first I was hesitant because of it being online but that has actually been one of the best parts about the training.
Koya has so much passion for her students success! She has made the process of learning fun, informative, and interactive. I’m so happy that I found this training when I did. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to learn from A. A woman of Color B. Someone who is looking for a good wellness community and C. For anyone who is wanting to take their yoga practice to a deep and meaningful place.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#fdeef3″ z_index=”” el_class=”testimonials_content_area” css=”.vc_custom_1577738938643{background-color: #ffc3da !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” el_class=”testimonials-item-holder”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

You want to experience that life-changing metamorphosis you see in movies? Then, you NEED to take this training! With GLU, I have finally found a family that supports me in all that I do and sustains an energy of abundance. Koya has made me not only a better yoga instructor, but also a holistic spiritual being capable of changing the world. With one day at a time and one breath at a time, I have become the teacher I have dreamed of being! Koya is an absolutely radiant soul who motivated me and helped me see my worth. Thank you to GLU and Koya Webb for changing my life![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#fdeef3″ z_index=”” el_class=”testimonials_content_area” css=”.vc_custom_1565292491799{background-color: #fdeef3 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” el_class=”testimonials-item-holder”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

This experience was magical from the start: It was late November 2019 and I still didn’t know what I was going to do for the holidays, my first time alone in over 25 years. I looked at Instagram and the very first post that came up was from Koya saying, “two spots left, join me in Bali”. So I did!
I have never met a person with such an enormous and generous capacity for love. On day one she greeted me with a hug and I felt as if I had been embraced by a long lost sister. Every person in the group felt seen and heard and touched in their soul by Koya’s beautiful spirit.
The retreat was exactly what I needed. A pause, a reset an encouraging guide back to my true self. People at home, seeing photos, said that I was glowing. Maybe it was the special energy of Bali, maybe the delicious, nourishing fresh food, maybe the best sleep I’ve had in ages, probably the fantastic daily yoga classes and meditation, possibly feeling connected to a safe community circle of like minded souls…All I know is that I felt and still feel absolutely Loved Up!
I can’t thank Koya enough for being on Instagram and writing her book Let your Fears make you Fierce. It is so easy to fall into thinking that other people have an easier life. Koya’s transparency as to what she has been through and the choices she makes to shift her life to a higher vibrational experience is real talk inspiration! I am hoping, no planning on making a retreat with Koya an annual gift to myself![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#fdeef3″ z_index=”” el_class=”testimonials_content_area” css=”.vc_custom_1577738938643{background-color: #ffc3da !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” el_class=”testimonials-item-holder”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

Koya is the truth! She is a down to earth, holistic, and knowledgeable teacher and guide. I had the opportunity to attend her Bali retreat and it was more than I imagined or anticipated.

Koya Webb is the real deal. What you see (on Instagram) is what you get. Fierce beauty. Graceful in more ways than one. A compassionate teacher. And I made life long friends at her retreat. I learned from Koya and other attendees. Music recommendations. Book recommendations. Crystal recommendations. I laughed until i cried and cried until I laughed all in beautiful Bali.

I am highly grateful to be certified by the #1 Holistic Health school for women of color. Along with learning how to safely and effectively share the practice of yoga with yogis of all levels (including acro!🤸🏽♀️), we cooked amazing vegan meals for each other, laughed and cried with each other, built trust and released limiting beliefs, learned how to set and achieve goals, discussed our roles in dismantling systems, and so much more. The world is blessed to have Koya Webb teaching, healing, leading and supporting.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#fdeef3″ z_index=”” el_class=”testimonials_content_area” css=”.vc_custom_1565292491799{background-color: #fdeef3 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” el_class=”testimonials-item-holder”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

I believe in divine timing. And that is exactly what comes to mind when I think back on my Get Loved Up teacher training experience: the timing of it was divine. In the course of three weeks, I grew more confident in teaching vinyasa and acro yoga; deepened my own practice; learned how to cook and prepare plant-based meals (that will forever change how I eat); and experienced spiritual healing.
I stepped into the training knowing I wanted help transitioning from one chapter of my life into a new one. What I hadn’t bargained for was a transformative experience alongside six beautiful women who truly are rooting for me and my evolution.
I highly recommend GLU teacher training for anyone who wants to know more about living like a yogi in modern times. It’s more than just Sanskrit and sequencing poses (although you’ll get that too). It’s about sisterhood, spiritual healing and self-care.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#fdeef3″ z_index=”” el_class=”testimonials_content_area” css=”.vc_custom_1577738949776{background-color: #ffc3da !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” el_class=”testimonials-item-holder”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

The Get Loved Up yoga teacher training is a life-changing experience. I know that sounds cliche, but it truly is. I researched countless yoga teacher trainings before finding Get Loved Up, and as soon as I read about it, I knew this was the experience I was looking for. I felt called to this training, and for good reason! Integrating holistic health, wellness, yoga, and social consciousness, the GLU YTT is for the yoga practitioner who seeks to create a greater impact with their teaching. Prior to GLU I had never experienced such a safe, nurturing, and educational environment. Koya’s training prepares you to stand in your power and claim space as a yoga teacher and an individual. She guides you to walk with intention and love in everything that you do. By the end of training you walk away as a highly knowledgeable yoga and Acroyoga professional, as well as a member of a growing community of passionate, like-minded human beings.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#fdeef3″ z_index=”” el_class=”testimonials_content_area” css=”.vc_custom_1565292491799{background-color: #fdeef3 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” el_class=”testimonials-item-holder”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

I’m so grateful to have participated in the Get Loved Up LA Yoga Teaching Training. The training is like none other, it goes beyond the basics you’d find in a typical yoga training program to include a social justice component.

The Get loved up teacher training was a truly life changing opportunity on many levels. Attending this Yoga Teacher training has brought many aspects of my life full circle as being part of the Get Loved Up team for the past 2 years. It has been such a blessing to be part of a community aimed at not just bettering ourselves but the world through a holistic lifestyle. Not only do I now have the confidence as a yoga teacher, but I have gained so many tools to handle many aspects in my life. I have officially been “loved up”, and cannot wait to spread this love in my community. I highly recommend this training to anyone who is looking to make a change for the better in their lives, spiritually, mentally and physically. Koya Webb led this training with poise, grace and heart. Koya truly feels like a sister to me, and I value her as a close friend and a mentor in my life.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#fdeef3″ z_index=”” el_class=”testimonials_content_area” css=”.vc_custom_1565292491799{background-color: #fdeef3 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” el_class=”testimonials-item-holder”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

Koya’s passion for health, wellness and mindfulness are palpable and infectious. Her understanding of the body and the connection between the body and the mind make her an incredible practitioner and teacher of yoga. Her teaching conveys innate authenticity and her strong desire to make yoga and mindfulness accessible to all. We also love and appreciate her dedication to Alo’s mission to bring yoga to the world!
Perhaps most inspiring is Koya’s commitment to the proliferation of self-love. Her manifestation workshops have helped countless people take steps towards achieving their goals and cultivating compassion for themselves.

This yoga training was a very transformative experience. We not only learned the essentials of yoga, but learned how to develop a healthy lifestyle in regards to the physical, spiritual, and mental aspects of our lives. We shared our stories and our struggles, and indulged in discussions about our spiritual lives. We cooked for one another, which was such a nurturing experience. We cheered each other on as we all saw one another unfold and blossom in our own fruitful ways. There is so much to gain from the power of communion, especially amongst women. After not having much of a strong supportive community back at home, being apart of a group of wonderful black women was truly uplifting. This training and the beautiful women I got to share this experience with has given me the power to start my year off strong, to go back home feeling empowered, and to go off into the world feeling undeniably embraced. Much love to Koya who dedicates herself to holding wholesome, holistic spaces of knowledge and to pouring all her love into each and everyone of us.

I decided It was time I got my YTT when I came across Koya’s page. Her being such a strong, inspirational, empowering, woman really set the tone for how the training was going to lead. These last three weeks have been extremely transformational for me, more than I ever thought possible. Koya has been nothing but an angel since I walked through her door. She has treated me like family, gave me more than I ever expected, emotional and physically. She has held space for each and everyone of us, and let us explore our practice freely and openly. I’ve learned so much about nutrition, the vegan lifestyle, and the human body. We touched on many different topics and I feel really fulfilled after these last three weeks. I feel really supported by Koya in my career and practice, and I am looking forward in staying in connection with her. I Feel so grateful to have had this experience and excited to do more retreats with Koya in the future.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#fdeef3″ z_index=”” el_class=”testimonials_content_area” css=”.vc_custom_1565292526318{background-color: #ffc3da !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” el_class=”testimonials-item-holder”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

Ife Hampton
My journey into yoga, plant based eating and healing holistically started with an instagram yoga challenge hosted by Koya Webb over a year ago. I was inspired to do yoga because I did not see myself reflected in yoga until I came across Koya and other women of color in the yoga world. Starting that challenge I had no idea that a year later I would be learning from Koya and having one of the most transformational experiences of my life. Koya showed me the positive impact that sharing your story can have on others and she always leads by example. She encouraged me to continue to release limiting beliefs and always choose love over fear. Koya is a wonderful mentor who is truly inspiring and I am so happy to be a part of the Get Loved Up family. Koya has so much insight and knowledge that in the three weeks that we were together, I learned enough information to carry with me for a lifetime. Koya also showed me how beautiful life can be when you are being your true authentic self. She encouraged me to not be afraid to let my light shine; something that I have been afraid to do for the majority of my life. From Koya I learned the power of stillness and silence but also the beauty of living your life out loud. Koya is a true example of what it means to live your life in love and I aspire to to the same. Thank you Koya for holding space, for sharing your light and for being love.

I attended Koya’s masterclass on October 14th 2017, which was a particularly special one as it focused on manifestation and gratitude – and it was the first time Koya was doing this type of class…this class with Koya ended up being the catalyst for me to quit a toxic job I worked for over 4 years (and hated) and go confidently after my dreams and desires. I had been working in nightlife doing bottle service for nearly 5 years and hated every minute of it. I wanted to quit so badly but didn’t think I would be able to survive without it, and while I was building my blog and yoga teaching career with love and confidence, I didn’t realize I was doing it all half heartedly while I clung to the night job in fear for far too long. I needed to release the fear, trust in my abilities, and show gratitude every single day for the things I had already created, and for the opportunities I wanted to manifest in my life.
It was something that Koya said at the end of class in our final circle, that inspired me to finally take the leap. She asked us to each one by one declare to the group something that we wanted to manifest MORE of in our lives. When it was my turn to speak I passionately said “ I want to do more of what I am doing now, I want to be doing it full time. I want to teach yoga more, I want to share yoga through my blog and instagram, I want to make my passion for yoga, health and wellness my full time job.” That was the moment I decided, this is happening. I am going to manifest this into my life right now.
When I got home I was inspired to fully commit to my desires and dreams. I wrote out each desire on an index card in an affirmative way and placed each one around my apartment where I could see them daily and repeat them out loud. I meditated every day and thanked the universe for the things it had not brought me yet, but that I knew would be coming. I took time throughout each day to imagine the feeling I would experience when those things came, feeling gratitude for them, feeling the excitement, and joy- each time affirming that what I desired COULD and WOULD be my reality. For 2 weeks I went back and fourth about work, my passions, the should, woulds, coulds.. and on October 28th I worked what would be my last night at the nightclub I had been working at. I walked out after my shift that night at 3AM after working a 19 hour day between my shift + teaching + my blog work all day and sat in my car crying.. my body tired, my mind exhausted, my heart begging for strength to let go and to TRUST. I sat there for a few moments praying to the universe to give me courage, show me a sign that I could create the life I dreamed of. And as I wiped the tears from my eyes I decided.. I am not going back there.
Each day after that night the signs I was looking for appeared: it was like magic! One moment a private client email inquiry, the next a teaching gig, an event, a brand partnership, even my dream brand Alo Yoga contacted me to teach for them- it was seriously unreal. The universe was giving me the signs I was asking for. There was absolutely no denying that the universe had my back. It took me a little time to accept that this was real because it was truly a dream come true. My heart explodes just writing this because I still am in awe of this whole thing- manifestation and gratitude are two very real and very powerful tools.
2.5 months later and I am beyond thrilled to share that I am teaching in my dream yoga studio (@ Alo Yoga’s new Grove studio- come see me!!), writing for incredible wellness and yoga publications, creating for my own blog Namastshay and using my instagram @shaylaquinn to connect with like minded people from all of the world. I am living and creating my dream life; and I have Koya’s manifestation and gratitude meditation class to thank for the inspiration to trust in my vision and go for it!![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
