History

Established in 2001.

Waves Studios features the 5Rhythms® movement meditation and offers an ever-​expanding selection of complimentary dance practices, movement meditations, yoga, children’s programs, and special events — all designed for health, healing, and enlivenment. These practices cultivate physical presence, compassion and creativity.

Newly relocated to Olympia’s west side, Waves Studio was designed with safety and comfort in mind. We built our «floating» dance floor with just the right amount of «give» to facilitate safe movement practices. You wont find a more comfortable dance floor in the Pacific Northwest.

Waves Studio has been Olympia’s physical and spiritual home for the 5Rhythms® movement meditation since 2001 and is owned and managed by Liz & Ronny Temple. Our intent is to provide a joyful and sacred container where people of all ages experience a deeper sense ofbeing.

Meet the Business Owner

Liz T.

Business Owner

Liz began her journey to health and healing in the 1980’s, when she first discovered the art of meditation and the music of Gabrielle Roth and the Mirrors. Her spiritual journey led her to study New Thought where she was well on her way to becoming a minister. But it is the 5Rhythms that have been her major source of health, healing and vitality since she first stepped onto the dance floor almost a decade ago. From the earliest days before our very first studio home was created, to three successive manifestations of Waves Studio, Liz has served as mid-​wife to the practice. Now with over 4,000 5Rhythms hours of practice and 6 years as a full time 5Rhythms producer, Liz’s teaching beautifully combines integrity with freedom. Liz is one of the few teachers in the world that has studied all 5 maps in depth with Gabrielle, from Waves to Silver Desert. She brings her unique communion of ecstatic dance and spiritual practice to the dance floor without dogma but with deep integrity.
