What is 5Rhythms ®?
5Rhythms is a transformative moving meditation practice created by Gabrielle Roth. It’s rooted in the idea that movement is medicine — a path to healing, expression, and connection.
The practice is based on five rhythms:
1.Flowing – grounded, circular movements; connects us to the feminine, to the earth, to ourselves.
2.Staccato – sharp, percussive movement; ignites clarity, direction, and emotional expression.
3.Chaos – wild, releasing movement; helps us let go and surrender to the moment.
4.Lyrical – light, expansive movement; brings joy, creativity, and connection with others.
5.Stillness – slow, deep movement; invites presence, awareness, and integration.
Together, these rhythms form what’s called a “Wave” — a journey that mirrors the cycles of life, nature, and our emotions. There are no steps to learn, no right or wrong moves — only your body’s unique expression in each rhythm.
How does it work?
You move through the five rhythms guided by music and a teacher (or in self-practice). Over time, the practice helps you:
•Release stress and tension
•Deepen self-awareness
•Connect with your body and emotions
•Cultivate presence and authenticity
•Feel more alive, free, and embodied
My 5Rhythms Waves is a 2 hrs session. We start with a warm-up, then a brief introduction of the 5Rhythms, followed by a 1 hour Wave.
