Questions, Answered
Do I need dance experience?
Not at all. The Method is built for every body and everybody. We welcome people of all ages and abilities. There is no choreography to learn, nothing to get right, and no judgment involved. You just need to show up with an open mind and move the way you move. Read how the SAH Method works.
What do I get with the membership?
Your membership includes access to our live weekly session in the virtual studio, plus the full on-demand replay library so you can practice at your own convenience, anytime, any place. See our two plans.
What happens after the 10 free days?
After your 10 free days, you'll be charged $49 per month or $40 per month (billed annually), depending on which plan you selected. If you cancel your plan during the trial, you pay nothing.
Where do the sessions happen?
Everywhere. Our live and on-demand sessions stream directly to your own space, so you can join from anywhere in the world, whether that's your living room, a hotel room while traveling, or wherever you feel like dancing. The live session times show Pacific Time first, with your local time next to it. See the live session schedule.
What if I miss the live session?
Nothing is lost. Each live session is uploaded to our extensive on-demand library, so you can practice on your own schedule between live sessions.
Is this a workout?
The Method moves you, and you will sweat. But the point is not calories or conditioning. The point is to move emotion through the body, let go of what you have been carrying, and come alive again. You will walk away lighter, but it has nothing to do with weight loss.
Do I have to be spiritual?
No. Buddhist wisdom runs underneath the Method and gives it depth, but nothing is asked of your beliefs. All faiths are welcome (even if you have no faith at all). You only need to show up and move, and the practice does its work either way.
What do I need to bring?
You only need a space you can move in, comfortable clothing, headphones or speakers, and something to drink. No mat, no special supplies, and no mirror necessary. Most people practice barefoot, but what's most important is that you feel comfortable... so you do you!
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, and it's simple. You can cancel at any time from your account, and the membership will run until the end of the period you have paid for. There is no contract and no minimum term.
How is this different from ecstatic dance?
Ecstatic dance gives you a floor and a DJ. The SAH Method provides a guided sequence with a beginning, middle, and end: the shake, body keys, somatic movement, dynamic meditation, affirmations, and trance. You are led the whole way through, and the benefits of this structure go far beyond temporary ecstasy.
What are Initiations?
Our initiations are in-person (and often multi-day) dance rituals in extraordinary places. We've been called to create containers that are genuinely transformative, not just nourishing, not just educational, but altering. Think of them as rites of passage: the kind of experiences you go into as one version of yourself and come out of as someone who can no longer fit back into the life you left behind.
Our initiations are a separate experience from the membership, but members hear about them first (and sometimes even receive exclusive enrollment discounts). The next one is at Blue Spirit, Costa Rica: see the retreat.
