About Koya

Koya Webb is a former competitive track and field athlete. She was first introduced to yoga as a form of rehabilitation for an injury she suffered while training for the Olympics. But as time went by, she continued to fall in love with the practice. After she fully recognized both the physical and mental benefits of yoga, Koya shifted her career focus to personal training and life coaching, with a goal of sharing practical holistic health practices anyone can use to improve their lifestyle.

Every day, Koya aims to promote daily self-care, oneness, and eco-friendly living. Her goal is to combat some of the world’s biggest challenges including mental health, social injustices, and global warming.
