5Rhythms sweat your prayers
- MONTHLY 5RHYTHMS SWEAT YOUR PRAYERS IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
This monthly class is held every 2nd Saturday at the Hidden City Ballroom in Point Richmond, California.
In Sylvie Minot’s Saturday morning 5Rhythms Sweat Your Prayers™ class, you will be led on a journey of self-discovery as participants come together in community.
The class is made up of two waves. The first wave is your time to arrive, let go of your day and settle into your body. During the second wave, we dance more deeply and explore a specific theme.
The 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 different energy and tempo in which we tap into the wisdom of our bodies, bring awareness to the patterns in ourselves and our lives, and find our own individual expressions.
Sweat Your Prayers™ is done with minimal guidance or silence from Sylvie Minot. The movement is meant as a moving meditation.

- SUNDAY MORNING PENINSULA 5RHYTHMS SWEAT YOUR PRAYERS
Are you ready to awaken the dancer within? — Every Sunday in Redwood City in San Mateo County!
Producer Dora Yung and facilitator Sylvie Minot invite you to step into the healing rhythm of your body, heart, and soul through 5Rhythms® moving meditation known as Sweat Your Prayers. 5Rhythms® founder, Gabrielle Roth started “Sweat Your Prayers” movement classes to explore movement as a spiritual practice and to connect with the body’s inherent wisdom. She believed that movement could unlock inner wisdom, healing, and spiritual growth, viewing the body as a “direct path” to accessing these qualities.
This is a 5Rhythms® movement meditation practice. We offer a safe, supportive, space for you to move with and through what is present. Guided by brilliant 5Rhythms® teachers on rotation, including Sylvie, this immersive experience offers a chance to deepen your connection to body, heart, and spirit

Outreach Facilitator Training
- OUTREACH FACILITATOR TRAINING – BRUGES BELGIUM | September 25 – 28, 2025
In this intensive 4-day training, you will explore how dance and movement can be used as a powerful resource and tool in working with specific outreach populations (i.e., in jails, recovery centers, hospitals, elder care facilities, and schools).
This work is a dynamic movement practice of being in the body that can catalyze deep healing, connection, and creative expression.
During this training you will begin in your own body, allowing yourself to move freely and exploring your innate movement patterns.
You will learn movement exercises and how to support body movement and energetic attunement with others.
You will learn the practice of regulating and re-grounding while leading a group, integrating voice with authentic movement, and exploring confident leadership.
The group will also discuss specific outreach populations and the challenge of bringing movement classes to groups resistant to or less comfortable with movement.
