Hayoka Yoga with Amy Kokoszka

03/05/2026

There is an inadequacy that we collectively may feel.

Whether we are buying basic products or services. And so I feel the need to break down some basic principles here.

We as women naturally go through various initiations in our lives. Sometimes people get stuck in old patterns. These old patterns are exactly that, a loop of repetition of doing the same thing and expecting different results.

For example if you’re burnt out but yet keep ‘pushing through’ or if you are unhappy in your physical body yet continue to have the same patterns of eating and movement. If you continue to play the victim in a situation but yet are unwilling to move out of the old pattern of identifying as the victim.

Breaking cycles and gaining confidence come with change, we all know that.

Have you ever had a conversation with another woman/ person and experienced an aha moment, you sense and feel what little thing you might do to shift your experience. Once you have this knowing it is now your time to take action. That is your job, as an adult.

Sometimes we need a teacher to hold space for us to experience that yet other times we do not. I just want us to be honest about what we are experiencing as woman. Witnessing another or self is so profoundly powerful.

There is no right time to trust yourself, we need to begin that process now, that is intuition.

More and more woman are being honest about their life experiences and this is refreshing, it’s raw it’s what I want to hear and be part of.

As for initiation my beautiful women/ men… we experience these naturally as we move through life, no one stays the same, some of us may get stuck in a pattern but it’s possible to break that pattern, it’s possible to regain that sense of self awareness, self belonging, that strength.

Action creates confidence. Intuition is strengthened by action, and initiation (the natural process) is solidified through knowing, through listening, through sharing and telling of story. And as a teacher through witnessing. No one is gonna take you through it, the only thing a teacher can do is describe through story, her direct experience or share stories of the experience to help you shif

Oh Sunshine I need to feel you deep in my bones. Normally I offer these juice retreats over a weekend and generally in Ireland. But I have never felt my best like I have when the sun is penetrating my bones, when juices are just being ready for me, when I can share the experience with other people, and allow space for me to fully turn off for the world and all the responsibilities! This is the magic!

I have heard a lot of people talk about retreats as if they are out of session, as if doing the a retreat had less value than doing deep personal work or group work. Look, if you take the time to really care for your physical body the affects will meet your mental state. Yes interpersonal work is important, I love sharing this with groups, but this time in nature, with the intention to detox the body, remove the distractions and focus on feeling better is very underrated.

If I were ever to become ill the first thing I would do is start with a detox. The bodies intelligence is incredible. I sense that so many of us walk around detached from what our bodies are trying to tell us. The little aches, the upset stomachs, the headaches, the burnout, and the overwhelm. Coming back into balance requires time. Simple undisturbed time. Carrying water and chopping wood. (An old Zen Buddhist saying. The work you need to do is simple, not complicated.

Sometimes the deep inner personal work happens when you just look after the basics, when you don’t over complicate things.

This retreat is 5 night and 6 days. We begin on a Tuesday and end on a Sunday with the option to extend to Monday.

Flights to Faro are exceptional at the moment.

This retreat is for men and women, for anyone seeking time, space and a deep cleanse.

It’s that time of the year when we are yearning for sun, doing our best to feel better and overdosing on vitamin D. I work with a lot of women and many can attest to the benefits of a reset, a deep cleanse of the system. One good detox can change your mood entirely. You begin remember what it is to feel amazing and you leave with tools to maintain that feeling.

Detoxing our bodies and bringing awareness to our nervous systems is a game changer. The bodies intelligence and awareness of what it needs and what it does not need are magnified on these weekends. This is not just about getting ride of the excess stored s@“t in the intestinal track, (although that can happen) this is about giving that second brain a chance to think, digest and get clear.

How you absorb nutrients and process waist, the way your brain functions and your immune system responds to a light cleanse is remarkable.

Whether you have chronic pain, struggle with menopause symptoms, or perimenopause,
or you are trying to get pregnant, drop weight, clear your mind and just feel better, any and all of these reasons are reasons to join.

We turn off our phones, bring our wellies, bathing suits, books, journals that favourite cozy set and we show up to be in nature and with other like minded woman.

Please send a private message to join. Or to ask any question you may have.

Did I mention it is in one of the prettiest locations in West Cork. Well one of my favourites. .hideaways

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Much love.
Amy

I had to commit. I still do.
To steadiness. To self honesty. To staying with what is real.

Resurrection, for me, is not belief.
It is a slow rebuilding through discipline and repetition.

Women Who Run With the Wolves is complex.
This is an active study and a somatic practice.
We work with the material through the body, not just the mind.

I am doing this work myself.

Begins January 26th. Sundays 7 to 9 PM GMT.
Message me Ready.

Christmas often amplifies what we can no longer carry.
Roles. Languages. Expectations. Even spiritual ones.

This isn’t an invitation to change anything.
It’s an invitation to listen.

With love,
Amy

It’s taken me a while to truly express how I see Women & Wolves but a certainty came over me and these slides are the expression of my meaning.

With love,

Dec 29 7 to 9 pm join the first FREE workshop in a series of workshops called Women & Wolves. With the incredible support of and her brilliant research mind, (one of her many talents) we journey into the world of the Wild Woman Archetype. Think of the wild as an innate expression of the soul, its natural path, meaning you were born with this! Think of a woman, you perhaps, walking barefoot on a beach, clear headed and alert. Think of the caterpillar naturally, but not without difficulty emerging from the web. Think of the wolf in the desert in the forests in the deep woods, hunting, cuddling, directing and lovingly moving about her life.

When Clarrisa Pinkola Estes said in the first line of her book, ‘wild life like the wild woman are endangered species’, this should have perked up your ears. This should be the sentence of all sentences, the one that makes you worry, and remember! For it is your sovereignty you and it is also your choice, for freedom does not come without work, and then a continuous maintenance of this work, an including and subtracting.

There are many powerful, influential woman who have gifted us teachings, not just Woman who run with the Wolves, there are many, and so we will explore them durning these workshops. Amy will weave the teachings of other great female leaders, including her own insights and practices. We together will remember the old stories, which sound the same but in a different outfit, these old wise teachings are embedded n our bones.

Dates of the 18 workshops Dan be found on hayokayoga.org details
In Bio.

If you want to join the free session you must send your email in a private message.

So much love Amy

Gift Vouchers available. There are limited spaces at the moment and if you are a women seeking a grounded relationship with yourself and with other woman, if you want time to contemplate, nap, and be fully minded then join this group of woman for the important act of self-care!

I love holding space for women. Watching them finally exhale, having those ‘awha’ moments, making connection and finding paths back to themselves.

For details of this all inclusive women’s space please check the details in the bio or please send a DM.

Loads of love,

Amy
