CALIFORNIA - SACRAMENTO Location: *Clara Auditorium 1425 24th Street, Sacramento, CA 95816 Dates: Friday, April 25, 2025 - Sunday, April 27, 2025 Times: Fri 6:00pm-9:00pm/Sat 11:00am-6:00pm/Sun 11:00am-6:00pm Cost: $400.00 Prerequisite: 3 completed 5Rhythms Waves classes are required prior to attendance. Our bodies hold stories, our head makes up stories, and our hearts feel these stories. Can we access our hearts (and emotions) without giving the stories too much power? Often when we touch into feelings there’s a story attached to it. In this workshop we weave the 5Rhythms with our emotions, calling on our elemental allies of earth, fire, water, air, and ether to guide us on this journey. By separating our emotions from our stories, the stories become our history and our emotions are free to move and dance. By connecting and moving with our emotions, giving them voice and shapes, we unlock the heart and release its limitless power to heal. 5Rhythms Heartbeat with Sylvie Minot in Hungary |

Syzygy Dance Project is committed to improving the overall well-being of seniors, caregivers and those dealing with chronic pain in the communities we serve.
Facilitated by Sylvie Minot, the SDP & New Bridge Services' Bodies in Motion program is designed to help older adults, caregivers and those in chronic pain connect with their bodies, let go of muscle stiffness and allow fluid movement to emerge.
Bodies In Motion is not just a great physical activity—it’s also a chance for participants to socialize while moving their bodies to music. This class helps bodies to be more relaxed, alert, and participants to be more connected to the community.
The oldest Bodies in Motion participant is 108, and she is a testament to our belief that if we get our bodies moving, no matter our limitations, we can experience the positive benefits of dance.
During every class we see participants’ energy levels rise, smiles return to their faces, and many remark that they experience less pain.
NewBridge Services Director of Community Response and Education Beth Jacobson says Bodies in Motion is suitable for all older adults, including those with chronic pain and disabilities, because the movements can be adapted. “I have received nothing but positive feedback from participants,” said Jacobson, adding that participants often request class playlists so they can do the movements at home between sessions.
Those interested in this free program can contact Beth Jacobson at [email protected] for more information.
