DESCRIPTION

​The class is divided into two waves. The first wave is your time to arrive, let go, and settle into your body. During the second wave, we dance more deeply and explore a specific theme.

5Rhythms® is a simple movement practice designed to release the dancer that lives in every physical body, regardless of shape, size, age, or experience. While the practice itself is simple, it has the power to catalyze deep healing and creative expression.

The primary teaching of this work is: If you put your psyche in motion, it will heal itself.

The five rhythms are Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. They come together to create a wave. There are no steps to follow. Each rhythm has a distinct energy and tempo, allowing us to tap into the wisdom of our bodies, bring awareness to the patterns within ourselves and our lives, and find our expression.

Sweat Your Prayers™ is done with minimal guidance or silence. The class is meant as a moving meditation.

This practice is open to everyone, regardless of age, gender, or experience level. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or stepping onto the dance floor for the first time, you'll find a welcoming and inclusive space to explore and express yourself authentically. There are no steps to follow, no right or wrong way to move; simply let your body lead the way and trust in the wisdom of your own heart's rhythm.

Guided by Sylvie Minot's gentle presence, we'll dance in silence, allowing the music to speak to our souls and guide us on our liberating journey of honoring all that moves through us—the living and the remembered, the joy and the sorrow, the sacred wholeness of being human.
