The 5Rhythms are a map to everywhere we want to go - inner, outer, forward, back, physical, emotional, intellectual - they reconnect us to the wisdom of our bodies and unleash movement’s dynamic healing power.
5Rhythms transcends dance - movement is the medicine, the meditation and the metaphor. Together we peel back layers, lay our masks down, and dance till we disappear.
The 5Rhythms...
Flowing: fluid, supple, flexible, surrender.
Staccato: percussive, masculine, strong, boundaries.
Chaos: releasing, creative, intuitive, free.
Lyrical: rebirth, grounded, light, empowered.
Stillness: meditative, slow, wisdom, endings.
The fastest way to still the mind is to move the body. https://www.5rhythms.com
