Developed by Gabrielle Roth, 5 Rhythms is a movement meditation that is accessible to people of all experience, backgrounds and abilities.

Together the Rhythms form a 'wave' - a build up and release of energy; individually they are: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness, each one a landscape to explore with it's own unique qualities.

There are no steps to learn or follow in 5 Rhythms, so the dancer is free to improvise and experiment. Structure is provided by the Rhythms themselves which means that dancing a wave in the company of other people can be a both deeply personal and intimately shared experience, regardless of each individual's dancing experience or physical ability. It is the teacher's responsibility to find ways of guiding you through the wave, so you don't need to think or worry about what you're doing, just try to relax and surrender to the wisdom of your body.

In essence 5 Rhythms is a spiritual practice.
