Sylvie Minot is the executive director and founder of Syzygy Dance Project, a non-profit. As a teacher and choreographer, she embodies the transformative power of dance and created Medicine Circle.
Sylvie is certified to teach Heartbeat and was trained by Gabrielle Roth. She co-founded the Saturday Sweat Your Prayers in Marin in 2002 and is on the teaching staff of Open Floor in Marin County. Her 5Rhythms Waves Journey class in Sausalito began in 2004. Sylvie has taught movement classes and workshops in the San Francisco Bay Area, Australia, Arizona, Canada, Europe, Mexico, New York, and throughout the U.S. Through her outreach work, Sylvie also brings dance to veterans with PTSD, inmates, recovering addicts, people with chronic illness, the elderly, and at-risk youth.
The elements, natural world, energy, spirit, and sound healing are a few of her influences, especially in the Medicine Circle she created in 2008. Sylvie’s work is inspired by Angeles Arrien's teachings in indigenous healing rituals and Carolyn Myss’s energy medicine. She also draws elements from studying sound healing with Tito La Rosa in Peru. Sylvie offers Medicine Circles in the United States, Australia, and Mexico.
Sylvie also holds private one-on-one sessions, facilitator training, and movement teacher mentoring and consultations.
