Cannot recommend the Thai bodywork session enough! It was a grounding and spiritual experience, but it also helped tremendously with my back pain. Ka Zoua is an incredibly wise and intuitive guide!

I loved my session with Soul Ya Yoga. Ka Zoua’s energy was so positive, light, & gentle. It was the perfect way to start off my Sunday. I appreciated her guidance during the entire session. At the end, I realized that I do not have to be advanced or perfect at Yoga in order to show up. Instead, I felt present (deeply aligned), and gratitude for the overall experience. 🩷

Ka Zoua's studio has easy parking and is in a charming building near the quarry. The deep release class was exactly what my body needed to stretch and reset. I am a dental hygienist and sometimes doing simple stretches at home just doesn't cut it. It was so nice to feel relaxed and able to move freely after Ka Zoua's class.

Thank you, Ka Zoua, for the opportunity to experience Yin Yoga for Deep Release. She is so kind, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I enjoyed the session so much. Definitely needed it for my summer break to recharge. I learned to breath better during the meditation, and it helped me to focus on my inner peace and mind. Thank you again, Ka Zoua, for the opportunity to do this with you.

I had such a roller-coaster of emotions during my first session with Ka Zoua. The emotional release and realization that took over me has opened new doors for me to explore. The thai yoga stretches felt amazing on my body, but her energy work was beyond my expectations since this was our first time meeting and she knew so little about me. Thank you so much for the safe space today.

I recently received a 90 min Thai Yoga Bodywork session with Ka Zoua. The space was so lovely and inviting. I felt very safe and comfortable there with her. She opened with giving my oils then immediately begin to address my areas of concerned then followed with a thorough energy line clearing upon my request and Thai massage techniques that left me with an overall sense of wellbeing. I especially loved when she used the heels of her feet to press on the tops of my of my shoulders and open my pecs. This technique gave me a gentle release through my neck and shoulders and a sense of lightness wash over me, almost as if I was being lifted off the earth. It was so wonderful. She then guided me in a soothing meditation at the end. Her voice is so lovely and calm. I almost fell asleep. I highly recommend Ka Zoua for Thai Yoga Bodywork. I have always told Ka Zoua that it is as though she has ancient knowledge imbedded in her soul, and this is what makes her Thai Yoga Bodywork so very special and different than others when she offers it to us.

This was my first one-on-one Thai Yoga Bodywork session with Kazoua, and I loved everything about it. Kazoua is so knowledgeable and experienced in yoga, energy healing, and breathwork. I didn't know what to expect; but Kazoua created a safe space for me to relax, stretch, and release stress/tension with stretches and breathwork. It was healing in every single way. I walked in with a lot of heavy pain in my back, and afterwards, my body and soul felt so light and bright. Since my session, I have recommended her private session to my friends and family - I'm planning to gift a private session to my mom and sisters for their birthdays because I believe each one of us deserve to have an hour dedicated to healing our body, mind, and soul.

Ka Zoua and Mary did a SOMA Breathwork and energy healing session for our Women's Leadership Retreat. They held and guided our group with so much love and tremendous skill. From the first moment we reached out to inquire about her services for our group, Ka Zoua was warm and welcoming of the opportunity to collaborate. She was easy to work with, thoughtful and adaptive/flexible to the needs of our group. We will definitely be looking for more opportunities to partner with her and Mary!

I won a free session with Ka Zoua, and I decided to gift it to my mom, knowing she would deeply appreciate and benefit from the experience. She went in without knowing what to expect, thinking it would be just a typical massage with light touch. Afterward, she felt so light and relaxed, saying she almost drifted off to sleep. She wishes it had been a two-hour session and can’t wait to schedule another one with Kazoua.

I’ve had a couple sessions with Ka Zoua and each time was catered to whatever I’m going through during that time. I definitely got the rest and massage that I needed through Ka Zoua’s Thai Body Massage and also had the deep pressure that was much needed. Definitely recommend if you’re overall looking to rest and reset yourself. It was much needed for me. Thank you Ka Zoua!

Had an amazing first time Thai body work experience with KaZoua. Her calming energy makes you feel safe and comfortable. Her voice is so soothing and her reminders to keep breathing made the session very relaxing. She stretched and moved my body in ways I never knew I could do! I felt less tension on my shoulder and lower back after my session. Will definitely continue to see KaZoua for more Thai body work.

In addition to Thai body work, she offers an optional chakra reading. I am so happy I made the choice to do this reading- everything just made so much more sense and KaZoua provided great guidance for my every day life.

I highly recommend KaZoua!

During our private event catered to kids; Kazoua made a huge impact on what little time we had. Her activities and message resonated with the age groups of 7-16 years old. They were practicing poses even after the event! I found it super helpful that she personalized the session toward any age group. Kazoua's energy and aura is so peaceful and accepting and it shows through her practice. After her classes it just makes me feel empowered and wanting to be a healthier version of myself.

Ka Zoua at Soul Ya is an intuitive and passionate healer. Her intuitive Thai massage was unlike any experience I've had before. I was taken care of immediately as I came in through the door. I felt a deep sense of calm and security-- an intuitive knowing that I was in good hands. Ka Zoua’s natural ability to tune into my body’s needs was incredible. She applied just the right amount of pressure and supported me through gentle stretches. At one point, she helped me unlock tension I didn’t even realize I was holding and helped me release a bit of a burden I was carrying. I left feeling grounded, rejuvenated, and more in tune with myself. She also applied a bit of reiki for me in this session, and it really helped align me to seize the day. If you want a deeply restorative and personalized massage experience, I can’t recommend Ka Zoua enough!

I've never done Thai Body Work before and was unsure what to expect. But from the moment I stepped into the room, I was already overcome with such calming energy due to the deep intentionality Kazoua puts into her work. Thai Body Work was wonderfully a hybrid experience of a massage, but meditation, but also energy healing. I was so relaxed throughout the session and found myself combatting difficult thoughts. With the help of Kazoua, I was really able to find my grounding as she was so in tune with me, she often caught when I was breathing too fast. She gave me such actionable tips to integrate into my daily life and gave me such a wholesome chakra reading at the end that was so relevant to me. I truly enjoyed this method of self-care and hope everyone experience's Kazoua's care.

KaZoua is amazing! I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed from the week and went to see her for Thai Bodywork and a reading. KaZoua's skilled touch and approach helped to relieve the tension in my body, both physically and mentally. I left the session feeling rejuvenated and relaxed—exactly what I needed to prepare for my busy weekend ahead. I will definitely be returning again.

Ka Zoua is just an amazing Soul period! When I first took a few of her free yoga sessions online a few years ago, I just loved her energy and what she was doing for the people that was coming to her for her service.

Recently, I had the privilege experience her Thai Yoga in a private and sacred space. I was surprised Thai Yoga wasn't what I thought it would be since I thought I would be doing your traditional Yoga. I was so relaxed. Honestly my body needed the session of bodywork. I never been grounded like that before.

What I also love about Ka Zoua's Thai Yoga session is the divine message she received for me. It was such a beautiful vision/message and hit right on. Her visions matched my intuition and spiritual progress I currently am going through.

She is such an amazing Healer growing into more of who she inspires herself to be while uplifting others along the way! 💕✨️

Unfamiliar with Thai Bodywork, I did not know what to expect, but as a returning client of Soul Ya Yoga, I was super excited to try something new with Ka Zoua. It was amazing and exceeded my expectation.

I ended the session with tears of gratitude. The experience invigorated me physically through the deep tissue massage and spiritually and emotionally as I made self-care a priority to be present and mindful.

During the session, I was guided into a deep sleep and woke up so refreshed. Even I was surprised.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ka Zoua and the services she offers through Soul Ya Yoga. If you’re curious, feeling adventurous, or want to do something kind for yourself, you should set up an appointment with Ka Zoua asap! You won’t regret it!

I received Thai bodywork at Soul Ya Yoga from Ka Zoua with great care. It was everything my being needed in our time together! What I really appreciate is that Ka Zoua has an integrative and holistic approach such as with providing a chakra reading on my behalf to accompany the actual bodywork/massage itself. When we were wrapping up, she gave such insightful feedback about what she was able to sense from my mind-body-spirit for aftercare that not only was I grateful for, but deeply moved by with the sincerity and thoughtfulness of her offerings.

Being a previous massage therapist myself, I am excited for this service becoming a part of Soul Ya Yoga's work and highly recommend to anyone who may be interested or curious to explore this form of wellness. Ka Zoua is wonderful in what she's doing, and truly is in alignment with her purpose as a healer.

Wow! Ka Zoua exceeded my expectations in every way possible! Thai Yoga Bodywork with Ka Zoua was a completely new and wholesome experience focusing on total wellness.

I was not sure what to expect with Thai Yoga BodyWork. I discovered it was an innovative, relaxing and therapeutic experience. She combined a variety of healing techniques. From the beginning, Ka Zoua was professional and created a safe space. She explained the process and was constantly checking to make sure I was comfortable. I was fully clothed the entire time, with the exception of socks being removed.

Ka Zoua began and ended the session with a Chakra reading. She used a combination of hand and feet to massage the body. It felt so good!! Ka Zoua was skilled with her technique and intentional with her pressure. There was also a lot of breathing, pulling, pushing, stretching and twisting involved. Ka Zoua diligently did the work while my job was simply to relax and breathe.

I’m so grateful for wellness practitioners like Ka Zoua who do such demanding work to allow me to relax.

Ka Zoua is naturally gifted with healing people. I’m looking forward to returning and have already recommended Thai Yoga Bodywork to friends and family.

Thank you so much for sharing your gift and healing, Ka Zoua!

I have had the privilege to experience Yoga Nidra and Thai Bodywork with Ka Zoua of Soul Ya Yoga. I had never experienced either before in my life, yet each session was a safe and invigorating avenue to meet and heal my inner self.

In Yoga Nidra, I appreciated the blended elements of meditation, breath work, massage to guide me on my journey. In the session, I discovered a new song, which I now play to energize me. I walked away feeling inspired and empowered.

And as physical as Thai Bodywork is with the deep, unique stretches, meditation, breath work, and massage, it connected me further to my inner self. I discovered how what transpires physically is a representation of my spiritual/emotional health. I certainly had a good laugh in the middle of a stretch, because I recognized the areas (literally and figuratively) in which I needed to evolve.

Ka Zoua is a gentle, knowledgeable, and generous practitioner. I have already passed on the word to family, so I highly recommend her!

I really enjoy my sessions with Ka Zoua and Thai Bodywork. Through deep stretches, with guidance and good breathing techniques, I am able to release and relax my body. There were many stretches I did not know I was capable of. I leave my sessions feeling lighter; my chakras aligned and in good balance. I will continue going to Ka Zoua, who is so genuine and good at what she does! I have recommend her to my family and friends, who have loved their sessions as well!

This was my first time experiencing Thai Bodywork, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the session with Kazoua. Time flew by, and I found myself wishing it could have lasted longer. The environment was incredibly calming, and I particularly loved the eye mask. During the session, I learned about my chakras and how they contribute to my overall well-being. It prompted me to reflect on various aspects of my life, and left me feeling a desire for positive change. Kazoua was attentive throughout, always checking to ensure I was comfortable with each position and the pressure applied during the massage. Before the session, I had been feeling tense in my upper shoulders and neck. All the tension and pain disappeared after the session. As Kazoua performed the massage and stretches, I felt a tingling sensation flow from my upper body down to my arms. I’m not certain if this was due to the movement of energy, but it was a unique experience. I believe I could benefit from more Thai Bodywork sessions and look forward to them.

My experience with Soul Ya w/Ka Zoua's Thai Yoga Bodywork was transformative. My entire session I felt peace and calmness. Ka Zoua's touch gently lifted layers of tension, leaving me feeling lighter and more relaxed than I had in months.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the experience was the safe space Ka Zoua created. Her warm demeanor and nurturing presence made it easy for me to let go to the healing process. It was a reminder of the importance of self-care, and I left feeling deeply grateful for the opportunity to prioritize my well-being in such a meaningful way.

In the midst of life's hustle and bustle, this session served as a much needed pause. The effects were not only felt in the moment but lingered long after the session ended. That night, I experienced a peaceful and restorative sleep.

My experience with Thai Yoga Bodywork was nothing short of life-changing. I am grateful for the opportunity and would recommend it to anyone in need of rejuvenation, relaxation, and a renewed sense of self.

Ka Zoua,

My husband and I had a great time. I made is fun for him and give him very minimal details on this date. He was confused but open minded to check this out. Little did he know he actually like this. He said that was a great experience to do thai body massage. He recognized how much he need this. I know we both super relax after and did we break a nice sweat. Learning how who is the giver and the receiver is showing us more awareness in our relationship. But we connected with all the laughs and stretching, trust that we built with each other. As a couple we need that strong bond and I love how we can kept experiencing this together after many years of being together. We both enjoy it so much and meeting new couples too and sharing experiences. Thank you for having us. 🙏🏻

Did a Yin Yoga session with Ka Zoua. It was very calming and reminded me of a Yoga for Anxiety class I took in the past - so much so that I almost fell asleep! I love the mindfulness imbued into the program and intentions to stay intune with our bodies. I always feel uncomfortable being noisy doing yoga, and she told us it was okay to make noises. I been having really back back pain recently, and I feel this session helped me stretch it out a bit.

She’s so inviting. I had the Yin Yoga session where it’s a lot slower than other sessions. It really helped me cause I’ve never been to a yoga session before. After class she takes time to talk with individual and especially me about it. I was really thankful because we got to learn about each other and found out that we both have vertigo which can make exercises/yoga hard if we move our heads too much. This was probably why I felt much more at ease during the session since she didn’t do movements that move my head so much. Love it.

Today, yoga was my first real sesson. Im glad we chose this session because it was slow and did the stretch i needed for my body. I also loved all the reminders that were given during the time.

"Release stress that is no longer serving"

"What are you holding on to?"

Lots of reminders to "Let go."

"Pain is different from discomfort,"

"Breathe out slowly to tell the body that it's in a safe place,"

For my experience was I couldn't let go of my responsibilities and stress at home. My forehead was hurting, and I ended up putting pressure in between my brows. Even covering my eyes with my hands to release the tension. This definitely paired up with the card i got 😊

Im not great with sharing upfront because i need to gather my thoughts. I am so proud of those who shared Elaine, Neng, and Julia.

🤩 this class is phenomenal for my body. Not everyone love or like yoga but really, do listen to your body. Have you really given your body the love? No, then try this class out. My experiences was beautiful, I feel free of all of my burden, stress, and expectations that I’ve been holding onto for years. I was able to tapped into Shoua’s voice and the music that flows into the room as she take me into my journey of self~acceptance. I was able grasp onto that small window of “this is it, this is me, loving myself!” And with that, I SMILED as my eyes are closed and shed those happy tears and didn’t care who’s in the room. I love it, she’s incredibly amazing. Thank you Shoua for sharing your presence with me and allow my body to expose my pain. I will be taking more of your classes 💜

I had a wonderful experience at Thai Body Work session today with Ka Zoua. Ka Zoua is great in what she does. She takes the time to understand your unique situation and goals, which then is able to tailor her approach to suit your needs and preferences. She helps you achieve the best results for yourself.

Ka Zoua was very attentive and professional. She made sure to check in with you and ensured that you were always comfortable and felt at ease. I came in a bit burnt out and burdened, but walked out feeling refreshed, energized, and rejuvenated after the session.

Aside from the physical aspect, I also learned so much in the time that we had for the session. I was opened up to a whole different perspective of energy and receiving what is meant for me.

I highly recommend Ka Zoua and her practice in Thai Body Work!

I was unsure of what to anticipate going into my session with Ka Zoua. But Ka Zoua was wonderful—so perceptive and insightful—and she guided me through the entire session. Our bodies experience a great deal of pain, both during and after experiencing traumas. At one point during the session, Ka Zoua was really understanding and patient with me when I needed to take a break to deal with my trauma. Ka Zoua provided a safe platform for me to express myself after our session. I heartily recommend Ka Zoua!

I am so happy to know someone in my community is doing this work! It is so healing and neccesary for the Hmong community. We have so much hurt and trauma that are stuck in our bodies and we don’t know how to release otherwise. We did a private session with Kazoua and she was amazing, kind, giving and patient! Also very knowledgeable and so present with us! I highly recommend attending her sessions or booking a private session to unlock healing for yourself!

The years of mounting stress, losses, pain and pickleball have taken a significant toll on my body. While I wasn’t quite sure what to expect with Ka Zoua’s Thai Bodywork session, what I do know was just how good I felt after the hourlong event. I have been raving to family and friends about my amazing session with Kazoua. I can’t wait for next session because it has the perfect, unique blend of yoga, stretch, and massage. I’m so happy I don’t have to travel beyond Minnesota for this amazing, fun experience.
