5Rhythms – The City Waves

Specialties

5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement practice — a practice of being in your body — that ignites creativity, connection, and community. It is a moving meditation practice, where dance and music are the basic elements.

Flowing Staccato Chaos Lyrical Stillness®

Created by Gabrielle Roth and practiced by tens of thousands worldwide, 5Rhythms is a philosophy, perspective, performance art and the dynamic movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion it will heal itself.

Each rhythm is interpreted by individuals in a uniquely personal way, opening them to a new sense of freedom and possibility that is both surprising and healing, exhilarating as well as deeply restorative. It is, in essence, «exercise for the right brain.»

When we practice 5Rhythms, we learn to creatively express aggressiveness and vulnerability, emotions and anxieties, edges and ecstasies. It reconnects us to cycles of birth & death and hooks us into humanity and the spirit of all living things. Within the group context we create connection and community and hone our instincts and our intuitions. We are made up of all walks of life — every culture, religion, race, gender, age and sexual preference are welcome.

Sweat Your Prayers® is a gathering where we bring our individual 5Rhythms practice and move through the rhythms of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness with intention and in community.

Manager

Alessandro crossed path with the 5Rhythms after many years of traveling, exploring, searching. Inside and out.

He believes we need changes to have a better world where we can equally share resources and responsibilities. And that we all need to bring our grain of sand on that side of the scale. He found the 5Rhythms practice has revealed and supports his purpose in life, balancing body and spirit.
