What are the 5 Rhythms? 

During this weekly class, Christine will guide us through a complete cycle of the 5 Rhythms, starting with letting-go into the first Rhythm of FLOW - the rhythm of the EARTH, supporting us to find our ground, we give our weight to the earth and rest into an unravelling - stretching open and contacting with the pulse of life, we reinvigorate our body with the second Rhythm of STACCATO - the rhythms of FIRE, moving any stuck, numb, stagnant energy, through our out-breath, directing energy through our limbs, we shape our boundaries, reengaging with our passion, igniting what-lights us up. We then move into the third Rhythm of CHAOS - the rhythm of WATER which helps us loosen & shake-off those old skins, shaking out any old dead wood, we make space for the present moment and surrender to now, taking us into the fourth Rhythm of LYRICAL - the rhythm of AIR, this rhythm brings space, freshness, circulation, room to manoeuvre, as we free-up & lighten-up, allowing play & imagination to lift our spirits, bringing inspiration. We complete our cycle with the fifth, final Rhythm of STILLNESS - the rhythm of ETHER, here we empty-out into the liminal space, the expanse, where we can feel timeless and unbound, dancing the invisible, here we can dance our dreams, intentions, release old imprints, drop into that magical Zen zone. Completing the cycle resting in stillness, feeling both grounded yet expansive. 

Why Practice? Through regular practice of the 5Rhythms we find we flow with life more readily & can find our own pace & ground, we start to shape clearer boundaries as we feel our passion & direction in staccato, we move with life’s chaos more fluidly and surrender to it, without getting knocked-off balance, we can take ourselves a bit more lightly with lyrical, to reconnect with our joy, fun and creativity whilst we rest & trust more into the expanse & mystery of stillness - underlying it all.
