New York

For 20+ years, the streets of New York City have been Gabrielle & Jonathan's laboratory, daily community, and the inspiration that is the 5Rhythms body of work and vision.

Our NYC teachers service the dynamic, diverse and dedicated tribe you could expect to make their way onto our dancefloors here. It provides a refuge of rhythm for those who are hungry to maintain a real self within the creative pulse, urban edge, and tribal soul of Manhattan. There is no more exciting place on earth, as it perfectly mirrors the complexity and challenges we face when we look within. Our NYC offerings of daily classes, short and long form workshops are available to dance you through all levels of the 5Rhythms every year.

"God Sex and the Body is and always will be a profound and integral part of the 5Rhythms® curriculum. It has personally informed my way of being, my teaching style, and, most deeply, my acceptance of who I am and who I am not.” - Gabrielle Roth

GOD, SEX AND THE BODY

A 5RHYTHMS® WORKSHOP IN NYC LED BY ALEX MACKAY

God, Sex and the Body" is an initiation into being an embodied soul.

It is a deeply personal journey

A celebration like no other

A ritual for the hot and holy you

It's a call to stretch our imaginations and move through a spectrum of archetypes, to dress them up, to get inside them and give them expression. No one else can be a person exactly like you. No one else can embody your soul, project your magic or have your specific curiosity. Part lover, part artist, part god, we were born to rock the world and feel our way into each others hearts.

With the support of the 5Rhythms maps and the beauty of the season, we will dance the dissolving of opposites: spirit and flesh, masculine and feminine, to reveal and embody the artist, the lover and the seeker within.

Join us in NYC for this transformative workshop that liberates and inspires us to emerge a bit more fascinated with each other and the mystery of it all. Welcome!

Listening

New York - 6 Jun 2025 to 8 Jun 2025
Heeraa Sazevich

To truly listen… to ourselves and to others, it takes our deepest care, sensitivity and presence. What gets in our way of hearing our body’s wisdom and our hearts? How many times have we overridden our gut instincts, interrupted someone, tuned out… This workshop invites us to slow down, lovingly examine habitual patterns so as to create more space for authentic responses from our hearts and intuition.

When we listen with our whole heart, we foster greater relationships, respect and empathy.

This counts as 1 day Waves and 1.5 day Heartbeat for those on the teacher training path.
