Sweat Your Prayers® is a particular form of 5Rhythms® practice, distinct from a class. Rather than learning the rhythms, you are invited into your own direct experience of them, held by the rhythms map and the shared field of everyone in the room.
 

The music carries us from our thinking minds back into our moving bodies, where something older and wiser than words takes over. The first wave receives you and meets you where you are, drawing you slowly and viscerally into your body. By the second wave, there is nowhere to be but inside the dance itself. The field holds you. The rhythm guides you.

​

Some come to sweat out the week, some come to reach into what is tender or wild in them, and some simply come to re-member themselves, one movement at a time. Gabrielle Roth, the founder of 5Rhythms®, called sweat holy water, and saw movement as the ultimate form of worship. Worship of what? Your own humanness, sacredness, and everything in between and beyond. What begins as movement may end as prayer.

Please arrive early or on time to support your own practice and the coherence of the shared space.
