Celebrity holistic health coach, internationally recognized yoga teacher, author, and speaker Koya Webb joins me for a soul-defining conversation. Koya’s core mission is to promote daily self-care, oneness and eco-friendly living to combat some of the world’s biggest challenges including mental health, social injustices and global warming.
Koya is the founder of Get Loved Up, an international lifestyle community and Yoga School that inspires mental, spiritual and physical health through an app, online courses, retreats, in-person yoga teacher training events and the Get Loved Up Podcast.
She is the author of LET YOUR FEARS MAKE YOU FIERCE: How to Turn Common Obstacles into Seeds for Growth, which addresses daily self-assessment and mindfulness, understanding how to make fear your friend, and using the power of holistic health to heal – all messages she promotes to her devout Instagram following of over one million followers.
As a former competitive track and field athlete training for the Olympics, Koya first got introduced to yoga after a debilitating track injury. Once recognizing the physical and mental benefits of yoga, she shifted her focus to yoga, personal training, and life coaching -- combining the work ethic of an athlete with practical holistic health practices that anyone can follow to live a healthy and active lifestyle.
Through Get Loved Up, Koya aims to dramatically decrease the number of people who suffer with chronic diseases associated with an unhealthy diet and lifestyle through daily self-care, plant-based nutrition and eco-friendly living. The Get Loved Up app features various yoga flows, sculpting workouts and meditations, along with vegan recipes, progress charts and a community board to help users achieve and maintain their wellness goals.
In this episode, Koya speaks about how fear is simply feedback and why self-love is the most significant act we do for ourselves. It is once we fully love ourselves that we are able to help others, and then go on to impact the world. And that when we get under the belly of fear, we understand that it is simply giving us information on where we need to pivot. Plus, Koya shares how her beautiful journey has led to living her dreams.
