Embodied Healing with Sayrah Garrison

Sep 01, 2025 12:25AM ● By Jerome Bilaos

Sayrah Garrison, a social worker and certified 5Rhythms® teacher, is dedicated to offering body-based practices—including yoga, meditation, and conscious dance—to support physical and mental wellness for all, including those in special populations.

Her own recovery from alcoholism and chronic anxiety led her to discover the transformative power of these practices, especially 5Rhythms®. Developed by Gabrielle Roth, the 5Rhythms—Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness®—form a dynamic movement map that grounds the body, opens the heart, clears the mind, and allows one’s essence to emerge. Rooted in the principle that “if you put the psyche in motion, it will heal itself,” 5Rhythms provides a moving meditation that nourishes body, mind, and spirit.

Sayrah shares this work through monthly in-person classes at Brookside Community Church in Brookside, NJ (third Sundays) and weekly online classes via Zoom (Fridays). No dance experience is required—just openness and a willingness to move. All are welcome.
