5Rhythms® by Gabrielle Roth
5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement practice – a practice of being in your body – that ignites creativity, connection and community.
FLOWING
“In the rhythm of the body we can trace our holiness, roots that go all the way back to zero, where all identity dissolves into an eternal flow of energy.”
STACCATO
“Dance is the fastest, most direct route to the truth — not some big truth that belongs to everybody, but the get down and personal kind, the what’s-happening-in-me-right-now kind of truth.”
CHAOS
“We dance to shed skins, tear off masks, crack molds, and experience the breakdown – the shattering of borders between body, heart and mind, between genders and generations, between nations and nomads.”
LYRICAL
“Our soul, our true self, is the most mysterious essential, and magical dimension of our being.”
STILLNESS
“We dance to fall in love with the spirit in all things.”
Quotations by Gabrielle Roth (1941-2012), creator and founder of 5Rhythms®.
