New York

For 20+ years, the streets of New York City have been Gabrielle & Jonathan's laboratory, daily community, and the inspiration that is the 5Rhythms body of work and vision.

Our NYC teachers service the dynamic, diverse and dedicated tribe you could expect to make their way onto our dancefloors here. It provides a refuge of rhythm for those who are hungry to maintain a real self within the creative pulse, urban edge, and tribal soul of Manhattan. There is no more exciting place on earth, as it perfectly mirrors the complexity and challenges we face when we look within. Our NYC offerings of daily classes, short and long form workshops are available to dance you through all levels of the 5Rhythms every year.

HEARTBEAT

A 3 Day 5RHYTHMS® Heartbeat™ level weekend in NYC with SYLVIE MINOT

Our bodies hold stories, our head makes up stories, and our hearts feel these stories. Can we access our hearts (and emotions) without giving the stories too much power?

In this 3-day workshop, we weave the 5Rhythms with our emotions, calling on our elemental allies of earth, fire, water, air, and ether to guide us on this journey.

Flowing: Fear & Courage - What if we could move fear from our chest like sand in an hourglass dripping down to the earth until nothing is left?

Staccato: Anger & Forgiveness - What if we could feel anger for anger's sake--how would the flames dance?

Chaos: Sadness & Surrender - Could water flush sadness from our hearts and make it dance like a river?

Lyrical: Joy & Generosity - Could joy give us wings to fly?

Stillness: Compassion & Service - Experience the profound connection that emerges when we move in stillness.

The Journey

The Purpose of the 5Rhythms Heartbeat™ map is to release the heart from its history – the old feelings locked in our bodies – beginning to shake them loose and release an expanded emotional maturity and spontaneity.

By separating our emotions from our stories, the stories become our history, and our emotions are free to move and dance. By connecting and moving with our emotions, giving them voice and shapes, we unlock the heart and release its limitless power to heal.

The Approach

The body is the gateway to the heart and mind. All you have to be willing to do is move. Our approach to the heart is kindness, and non-judgment. It is our goal to create a safe environment for every individual.

As we become comfortable with allowing and expressing feelings, neither getting attached nor denying them, we discover how to transform the energies of the heart and the power of a heart fully able to feel and respond with love.

Welcome!
