Kathy Altman
While highly trained in many forms of dance, it wasn't until Kathy's catalytic meeting with Gabrielle 30 years ago that her true calling found her. As Co-Director of The Moving Center School, Kathy was the first person asked to help Gabrielle bring her work out into the world. Over the past 20 years Kathy's teaching has brought thousands of people back to the joy of their own, original movement.
Lori Saltzman
Sylvie Minot
She has also studied with Shakti Gawain, Angeles Arrien and various other teachers in different aspects of healing. Through working with a variety of modalities incorporating spirit, mind, and body, she is dedicated to the transformation of one's life and living one's passion.
Andrea Juhan
Andrea Juhan, PhD has worked, practiced, and led others in the fields of bodywork, psychotherapy, and movement since 1981.
She was a founding faculty member of the Moving Center School, California, a 5Rhythms organization which she co-directed for fourteen years. Andrea had the good fortune spend her late teens and 20's leading groups, teaching movement, studying Gestalt Awareness Practice, and practicing bodywork at Esalen Institute. It was at Esalen that she first met Gabrielle Roth and fell in love with the 5Rhythms 30 years ago.

Gary Beauregard
Gary is a long term student and teacher of the 5Rhythms. In 1999 he started our first Sweat Your Prayers session with 11 students (mostly friends!). Through Gary’s enduring passion for the practice and his extraordinary DJ skills, our Sunday sessions have become both a local and international destination for hundreds of people to come and sweat their prayers.
Davida Taurek
Davida Taurek has a diverse background in body-centered therapies, including six years as massage therapist. A protégé of Gabrielle Roth, she spent 10 years leading dance therapy workshops throughout the U.S., Canada and Costa Rica.
Shawn Swanson
Shawn has spent much of his life exploring the present moment through movement and athletics. In 1993 Shawn began his study of meditation, breath work and other forms of self-inquiry. Dance had been a love of his since his first middle school ball, and over the years Shawn could feel some greater possibility lurking just out of reach while dancing. This possibility became a rich reality when he discovered the 5Rhythms in the year 2000.
