Heart Tracker

Movement practice of Gabrielle Roth's 5Rhythms®

Led by Martina Motl, Accredited 5Rhythms® Teacher

HEART TRACKER – 3-DAY HEARTBEAT WORKSHOP

Our emotional life isn't always what it seems on the surface. Sometimes we feel fear – but underneath, there's anger. We cry in saddness, yet below the tears, rage burns quietly. Or we smile, when really, something has long gone numb.

In Heart Tracker, we use the Heartbeat map of the 5Rhythms® to explore the true movement of our emotions – how they rise, shift, and live in the body when given space. Over three days, we will dance through the five core emotional gateways: Fear, Anger, Sadness, Joy and Compassion.

This is not about controlling or fixing our emotions – but about learning to track them with presence and honestly, discovering what lies beneath, and finding new freedom in expression and embodiment.

Whether you're navigating change, healing old wounds, or seeking deeper connection, this workshop offers a grounded, compassionate space to follow your heart – all the way through.

MARTINA MOTL: she has been dancing since 1997 and teaching since 2014 (Waves) and 2022 (Heartbeat). She is a dancer, vocalist, artist, and art teacher with a deep love for theatre. Passionate about teaching, she creates well-held group spaces that participants often describe as safe, grounded, and alive—guided by humor, warmth, and deep sensitivity to the group body. A defining moment in her path came from Gabrielle Roth’s words, “I love your fire,” a sentence that profoundly changed her life and continues to inform her teaching and artistic work.

For those on a path to become a 5Rhythms teacher, this workshop counts as 3 days, Heartbeat level.

LANGUAGE: the workshop will be led in English

Dancing out of Trauma

 “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” Anais Nin


Each of us has had painful experiences.


Stressful or traumatic memories block the natural flow of life.

With the help of 5Rhythms dance, we bring the stories and body memories that come from within back into consciousness and into the dance.

With IBT - Integrative Body movement Trauma therapy, changes are stimulated and safely accompanied. This leads to a new lightness, which always shows itself when we encounter our true being. Methods: IBT, 5Rhythms, 5Rhythms Movement Therapy, stabilization and individual work in the group.

In “Dancing out of Trauma” is space for joy of life and humor are as well as the pain from of old wounds. To lift the pain like a treasure in the therapeutic process, and to transform it in the dance, releases strength and bound energy. Lightness and deep therapeutic work complement each other. Dancing out of Trauma is the practical implementation of the method IBT, the Integrative Body-Movement Traumatherapy.

Romana Tripolt has developed IBT as a therapeutic tool that combines the effects of the latest traumatherapeutic methods with the vital power of conscious dance. The medicine of the 5Rhythms unites with the power of the innovative trauma therapy.
