You’re about to join My Body, My Temple—a 6-week 5Rhythms® series to return to the body not as a machine, but as a place of memory, power, and presence.


Each week, we’ll move with a different body part—feet, pelvis, spine, heart, hands, and head.

And reconnect with the wisdom that lives beneath the surface.
