" Do you have the discipline to be a free spirit " - Gabrielle Roth
Come be moved through Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms Waves map - a dynamic movement practice in Southampton. The 5Rhythms- flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness. This is where ecstatic dance and meditation meets the dance floor. There are no steps to learn, no right our wrong moves to master. No experience is needed. The class is guided.
It is a great way to let ourselves move, with whatever is needing to move. We hold a lot in our bodies, whether we realise it or not: stress, anxiety, different emotions. When we move our bodies, we release, what needs to move, letting some of those layers dissolve go, that no longer serve us.
We are fortunate to be guided and taught by two wonderful teachers throughout the year - Ruth Hirst and James Hogan. Both are experienced teachers and travel from London and Surrey to be with us. Ruth and James, are teaching alternate months.
Venue: St Barnabas Church Hall, (AKA Tracie's Latin Club)
Lodge Road, Southampton. SO14 6RF
CLASSES happen on the 2ND Saturday of every month.
Time: 16.00 - 18.00. Doors open @ 15.45. Close @ 16.15.
You won't be turned away if after this time! We ask that you come on time, as it makes a difference when we all start off together and it also enables Angharad and Damian to begin their dances, (organisers) with us all together too!
