Exploring Expressive Movement for Self-Discovery Through 5Rhythms

Embark on a journey of self-discovery through the transformative practice of expressive movement with 5Rhythms. Developed by Gabrielle Roth in the late 1970s, 5Rhythms is a dynamic movement meditation that taps into the body's wisdom to explore and release emotions, thoughts, and energy.

What are the 5Rhythms?

The 5Rhythms are Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. Each rhythm represents a different energetic quality and invites participants to embody a range of sensations and emotions through movement.

Flowing

Flowing is the fluid, continuous movement like water flowing in a river. It encourages participants to let go, surrender, and connect with their inner fluidity.

Staccato

Staccato is the rhythmic, percussive movement that embodies clarity, focus, and precision. It invites individuals to express boundaries and assertiveness.

Chaos

Chaos is the wild, unrestrained movement that taps into spontaneity, creativity, and release. It encourages participants to explore the unknown and embrace transformation.

Lyrical

Lyrical is the light, playful movement that embodies joy, grace, and harmony. It invites individuals to express their creativity and connection to the world.

Stillness

Stillness is the quiet, meditative movement that cultivates awareness, presence, and integration. It allows participants to ground themselves and find inner peace.
