Sweat Your Prayers SF

Sweat Your Prayers® is a Sunday 5Rhythms® gathering where we come together to move, breathe, sweat, and reconnect through the body.
Held in San Francisco since 2014, this long-running community practice welcomes dancers of all backgrounds and experience levels.
Through the rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness, we dance what is alive in us, individually and in community.
This is a movement meditation practice with music and minimal instruction. There are no steps to learn, no choreography to follow, and no way to do it wrong.
Just bring your body, your breath, your curiosity, and whatever you’re carrying.
5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement practice created by Gabrielle Roth, designed to support freedom, expression, release, and presence through movement.
In the words of Gabrielle Roth:
“To sweat is to pray, to make an offering of your innermost self… The more you dance, the more you sweat. The more you sweat, the more you pray.”
