​September brings the dazzling energy of sapphire, the birthstone known for its gifts of fulfillment, joy, and prosperity.

As we move through this month, we're also graced by the harvest moon on September 17, a symbol of bounteousness and abundance. Both serve as signals to harvest the fruits of our labors and celebrate the bounty we have worked to cultivate.

In our monthly Sweat Your Prayers™ class, we connect our bodies to these potent energies, allowing movement to become a powerful expression of our true selves. This practice, founded by 5Rhythms creator Gabrielle Roth, invites us all, regardless of our backgrounds, to explore the profound connection between movement, healing, and self-discovery.

Sweat Your Prayers™

Sweat Your Prayers™ is not just a dance practice; it's a sacred journey into the depths of our souls, guided by the wisdom of movement and the power of intention. Created by 5Rhythms founder Gabrielle Roth, this transformative practice invites us to explore the divine within ourselves and the world around us.

In Sweat Your Prayers™, we merge our bodies with the music, surrendering to the rhythm of our breath and the beat of our hearts. Through this embodied prayer, we awaken our senses, release stagnant energy, and embrace the fullness of our being.

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 movement. 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 self-discovery.
